Trial summary

Crossover comparison of different flow meters with a digital home flow meter as a reference. Main hypothesis: Reapeated home flow measurements with a disposable device will provide a better understanding of the patients urinary flow than a single measurement performed in the clinic.

About this study

Official title: An Open Prospective Multicenter Study Comparing the Urine Flow Measurements of Standard Clinic Flow Measurements vs Comercially Available Portable Digital Flow Meters and a Disposable Flow Meter in a Crossover and Randomized Order on Male BPH Subjects

Crossover comparison of different flow meters with a digital home flow meter as a reference. Main hypothesis: Reapeated home flow measurements with a disposable device will provide a better understanding of the patients urinary flow than a single measurement performed in the clinic.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Urine Flow Rate

    Measurements with a disposable device and the current clinic gold standard measurement were compared to test the hypothesis that three repeated measurements with the disposable device was as accurate as one clinic flow measurement. A digital device was used as a reference of the most exact way to evaluate each patient's individual flow.

    Measured: At every voiding event during approximately one week.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Disposable device, Digital device and Clinic flow measurement in people with Bladder Outlet Obstruction and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, run by Wellspect HealthCare at 4 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Jun 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Urine Flow Rate (time frame: At every voiding event during approximately one week.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Nov 2021.
