About this study

Official title: Transurethral Resection of the Prostate With Photo Selective Vaporization of the Prostate Using the High Powered 532nm Laser Obstructive Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Management: Focus on Efficiency and Cost-effectiveness

The aim of this study is to compare medical efficacy and cost effectiveness of two surgical options for obstructive BPH management : transurethral resection of the prostate with photo selective vaporization of the prostate using the high powered 532nm laser.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to compare medical efficacy and cost effectiveness of two surgical options for obstructive BPH management : transurethral resection of the prostate with photo selective vaporization of the prostate using the high powered 532nm laser. Patients were randomized in two groups after inclusion. Perioperative data were collected, and follow-up was conducted for one month.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hospital stay

    Measured: end of hospitalization

  2. Clinical symptoms at 1-yr follow-up evaluated with usual objective and subjective parameters

    Measured: at one year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Rate of complication needing re-hospitalisation or reintervention

    Measured: from the surgical procedure until one year follow-up

  2. Risk of ignoring a localized prostate cancer needing a curative management.

    Measured: at one year

  3. Total and post-operative costs during follow-up.

    Measured: from the surgical procedure until one year follow-up

  4. Evaluation of side effects during follow-up.

    Measured: from the surgical procedure until one year follow-up

  5. Patient satisfaction

    Measured: during follow up

  6. Evaluation of quality of life

    Measured: during follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TURP and PVP in people with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 13 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Hospital stay (time frame: end of hospitalization). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01043588, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 1 May 2013.
