About this study

Official title: Impact of Nerve-sparing Radical Hysterectomy on Patients' Urinary Dynamics: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Radical hysterectomy is an important therapy for early cervical cancer. Disfunction of urinary dynamics is the most common postoperative adverse effects, which had negative impact on patients' quality of life. Nerve sparing radical hysterectomy (NSRH) could reserve inferior hypogastric plexus (IHP) innervating bladder, hence improving postoperative urinary dynamics. Furthermore impact of different energy instruments on urinary dynamic isn't clear.

Objectives: This study is to compare urinary dynamics before and after NSRH, and to analyze the difference between BiClamp forcep (BiClamp® forcep, ERBE Elektromedizin, GmbH, Tuebingen, Germany) and water jet (ERBEJET®2) about the effects of dissecting IHP.

Study population: Cervical cancer of FIGO IB stage, among which 120 cases are enrolled to randomly allocated to BiClamp group or water jet group.

Intervention: Patients accept NSRH which all will be accomplished by Professor Ming Wu.

Methods: All surgical patients are accessed via urinary dynamics before and four months after NSRH. On the 14th day after surgeries, urinary catheter will be removed and residual urine volume (RUV) will be measured. For patients of RUV > 100 ml, urinary catheter will be replaced.

Primary study endpoint: the successful rate of removing urinary catheter on the 14th day after NSRH.

Secondary study endpoint: urinary dynamics four months after NSRH.

What is being measured

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

  1. successful rate of removing urinary catheter

    Measured: four months after nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy

  2. urinary dynamics parameters determined by urodynamics apparatus: residual urine volume

    residual urine volume in ml

    Measured: four months after nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy

  3. urinary dynamics parameters determined by urodynamics apparatus: urine flow rate

    urine flow rate in ml/s

    Measured: four months after nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy

  4. urinary dynamics parameters determined by urodynamics apparatus: bladder pressure

    bladder pressure in cmH2O

    Measured: four months after nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy

  5. urinary dynamics parameters determined by urodynamics apparatus: detrusor pressure

    detrusor pressure in cmH2O

    Measured: four months after nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy

  6. urinary dynamics parameters determined by urodynamics apparatus: bladder compliance

    bladder compliance in ml/cmH2O

    Measured: four months after nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy

  7. survival outcomes: ovarall survival

    overall survival in months

    Measured: two years after nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy

  8. survival outcomes: progression-free survival

    progression-free survival in months

    Measured: two years after nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BiClamp group and water jet group in people with Cervical Cancer and Urinary Retention, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 13 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

successful rate of removing urinary catheter (time frame: 14th day after nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy). 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 13 Jan 2017.
