Trial summary

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is most prevalent among women. SUI is characterized by loss of urine from increased abdominal pressures caused by coughing, laughing, sneezing, running, lifting or walking. SUI cause women to avoid routine physical activities, thus detracting significantly from their quality of life. Read more about this study

About this study

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is most prevalent among women. SUI is characterized by loss of urine from increased abdominal pressures caused by coughing, laughing, sneezing, running, lifting or walking. SUI cause women to avoid routine physical activities, thus detracting significantly from their quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of new designs of the TIPI device, a conservative, disposable, treatment for temporary management of SUI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Percentage of Pad Weight Gain (PWG) Change

    All eligible subjects underwent a 3-day Pad period to establish baseline Average PWG. During this period, pre-weighed pads were worn for 8 hours a day and subjects were asked to perform predefined physical activities and drink a certain amount of liquid, daily. Pads were collected and weighed in the clinic to determine baseline urine leakage. Subjects then used SMDs or the cleared TIPI (G3) with pads for up to 8 hours. The average PWG tests results with the TIPI devices were compared to the average PWG 8 hrs test without the device and were presented as percentages.

    The efficacy endpoint for the study was mean percent change of PWG using a certain device compared to the values obtained at the baseline period, as calculated by the following formula:

    % Reduction = 1-(Device/Baseline )*100

    Where, Device = the average pad weight gain (PWG) during device usage. Baseline = the average pad weight gain (PWG) during the days of baseline period.

    Measured: up to 8 hours of use

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TIPI vaginal pessary in people with Stress Urinary Incontinence, run by Assuta Hospital Systems at 1 site in Israel.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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 16 Jan 2015. 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 Israel. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jan 2015). 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 Percentage of Pad Weight Gain (PWG) Change (time frame: up to 8 hours of use). 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 16 Jan 2015.
