About this study

Official title: National, Multicentre Post Market Surveillance Study on Anterior Pelvic Prolapse Reconstruction With a Titanium-coated Polypropylene Mesh (TiLOOP® PRO A)

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of anterior pelvic prolapse reconstruction with a titanized polypropylene mesh on patients quality of life.

Read the detailed description

This multicentre, non-randomized, observational clinical investigation will be performed to obtain usability and postmarket information on the TiLOOP® pelvic floor reconstruction meshes and in particular to obtain the improvement of patients' quality of life.

It is expected that the patient's quality of life is meliorated after implantation of a TiLOOP® PRO A mesh. To verify this, it will be shown that by means of a validated questionnaire the subjective quality of life after 12 months is significantly better than before implantation.

What participants receive

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

  • TiLOOP® PRO Plus ADevice

    The standard operation method for the surgical repair of anterior prolapse is via the obturator membrane. The mesh is placed trans-vaginally using the TiLOOP® Application Set to place the mesh arms.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
surgical mesh implantationOtherStandard method to implant the TiLOOP® PRO A surgical mesh transvaginally. Women with a symptomatic genital descensus: at least stage II (ICS-classification according Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System (POP-Q system)). This applies to primary as well as recurrent intervention.
Receives: Device: TiLOOP® PRO Plus A

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient's Quality of Life

    By means of a validated questionnaire it will be shown whether the subjective quality of life after 12 months is significantly better than before implantation.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Patient's Quality of Life

    The evaluation of changes in quality of life assessed by the P-QoL 6 months after implantation of the TiLOOP® PRO A surgical mesh compared to before implantation.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Adverse Events (AE)

    Assessment and analysis of all [serious] adverse events ([S]AEs) during the first 12 months after implantation along with a contextual placement of safety data based on current literature.

    Measured: 6 weeks, 6 and 12 months

  3. Feasibility Check of Mesh implantation

    To evaluate mesh implantation, information about the duration of the procedure (minutes from cut to stitches) and the operability of the application set (easy, suitable, difficult, no set used) will be collected during the surgery. Taking together, this information will encapsulate the feasibility of the mesh implantation descriptively.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Number of complications and concomitant procedures

    Counting the number of intraoperative complications (e. g. lesion of the bladder, the urethra or the intestines) and concomitant procedures (e. g. hysterectomy, colporrhaphy, vaginal sacrospinal fixation) procedure-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 and common concomitant procedures will be evaluated.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TiLOOP® PRO Plus A in people with Cystocele and Uterine Prolapse, run by pfm medical gmbh at 5 sites in Germany.

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

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Germany. 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?

Patient's Quality of Life (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT02690220, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
