Trial summary

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common problem. Symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) are present in approximately 50% of patients with POP. For many women the accompanying symptoms of OAB are an important reason for seeking help for their POP. Surgical repair of prolapse may improve OAB complaints. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Overactive Bladder (OAB) in Patients With Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) and Predictors of Symptoms of OAB After Surgical Correction of POP

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common problem. Symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) are present in approximately 50% of patients with POP. For many women the accompanying symptoms of OAB are an important reason for seeking help for their POP. Surgical repair of prolapse may improve OAB complaints. Persisting or de novo OAB symptoms are strongly correlated with dissatisfaction with the final results of an operation for POP.

The primary aim of this research project is to investigate the difference in prevalence (i.e. improvement) of OAB and bothersome OAB symptoms at 6 and 12 months after POP repair surgery. The secondary objectives are to determine changes in bladder function at 6 and 12 months after surgery and to identify predictive factors for persistence, disappearance or de novo symptoms of OAB after POP surgery.

Women who present with POP and who will undergo surgical treatment will be evaluated at baseline before their surgery and will be followed for the duration of one year after surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pre- and postoperative evaluationsOther

    At baseline before surgery and at 6 and 12 months after surgery: questionnaires, bladder diary, pelvic examination with additional ultrasound (one extra outpatient clinic visit at 6 months compared to standard care).

    At baseline before surgery and at 12 months after surgery: urodynamics with additional urine sampling (one extra outpatient clinic visit at 12 months compared to standard care).

    At time of surgery: additional cystoscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change from baseline in prevalence of OAB as measured by bladder diary and validated disease specific questionnaires at 6 months

    Measured: At baseline before surgery and at 6 months after surgery

  2. The change from baseline of bothersome OAB symptoms as measured by bladder diary and validated disease specific questionnaires at 6 months

    The bother of OAB symptoms, measured by validated disease specific questionnaires, will be presented by scores that reflect the degree of severity of the voiding dysfunction. The presence of bothersome OAB symptoms will be dichotomized in patients with symptoms and moderate to severe bother (symptomatic) and patients with absence of symptoms or with only little or no bother (asymptomatic).

    Measured: At baseline before surgery and at 6 months after surgery

  3. The change from baseline in prevalence of OAB as measured by bladder diary and validated disease specific questionnaires at 12 months

    Measured: At baseline before surgery and at 12 months after surgery

  4. The change from baseline of bothersome OAB symptoms as measured by bladder diary and validated disease specific questionnaires at 12 months

    The bother of OAB symptoms, measured by validated disease specific questionnaires, will be presented by scores that reflect the degree of severity of the voiding dysfunction. The presence of bothersome OAB symptoms will be dichotomized in patients with symptoms and moderate to severe bother (symptomatic) and patients with absence of symptoms or with only little or no bother (asymptomatic).

    Measured: At baseline before surgery and at 12 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change from baseline in outcomes of urodynamic studies (presence of detrusor overactivity (DO), bladder outflow obstruction (BOO)) at 12 months

    Measured: At baseline before surgery and at 12 months after surgery

  2. Change from baseline in POP-Q stage at 6 and 12 months

    Measured: At baseline before surgery, at 6 and 12 months after surgery

  3. Change from baseline in outcomes of ultrasound assessment (bladder wall thickness, bladder neck descent, retrovesical angle) at 6 and 12 months

    Measured: At baseline before surgery, at 6 and 12 months after surgery

  4. Cystoscopic assessment of trabeculation

    Measured: At time of surgery

  5. Change from baseline in concentration of urinary biomarkers at 12 months

    Concentration of urinary biomarkers: nerve growth factor (NGF), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels in urine normalized against creatinine concentration.

    Measured: At baseline before surgery and at 12 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urinary Bladder, Overactive and Pelvic Organ Prolapse, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 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 Netherlands. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Myrthe M Tijdink, MD (+31-(0)24-3614726, m.tijdink@uro.umcn.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The change from baseline in prevalence of OAB as measured by bladder diary and validated disease specific questionnaires at 6 months (time frame: At baseline before surgery and at 6 months after surgery). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Jan 2013.
