About this study

This study is designed to assess the effect of catheter size on postoperative catheter pain, urinary continence, urinary flow rates, post void residuals, International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS), and Quality of Life (QoL) score, as well as long term complications after robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.

Read the detailed description

Subjects identified to receive a robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.were randomized to either a 16 French or 20 French catheter at the completion of the prostatectomy. All prostatectomies were performed by one of three surgeons at the investigator's institution. Preoperative demographics and operative data were recorded for each group. Catheters remained in place for 7-14 days. Subjects were asked on postoperative day 7 to report their catheter-related pain and amount of opioid medication used. Urinary symptoms and quality of life scores and pads per day were recorded at 6 weeks and 12 weeks post-operatively.

What is being measured

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

  1. Catheter Related Pain: Visual Analog Score Rating

    Catheter related pain was measured using a visual analog score rating mean post-operative pain on a scale from 1 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). The lower the score the better the outcome.

    Measured: post-op day 5-7

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Urinary Symptoms

    The International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) is based on the answers to seven questions concerning urinary symptoms and one question concerning quality of life. Each question concerning urinary symptoms allows the patient to choose one out of six answers indicating increasing severity of the particular symptom. The answers are assigned points from 0 to 5. The total score can therefore range from 0 to 35 (asymptomatic to very symptomatic).The lower the score the better the outcome.

    Measured: week 6

  2. Quality of Life Score

    Question eight of IPSS refers to the patient's perceived quality of life. The range is from delighted with a score of zero to terrible with a score of 6. The lower the score the better the outcome.

    Measured: Week 6

  3. Urinary Symptoms

    The International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) is based on the answers to seven questions concerning urinary symptoms and one question concerning quality of life. Each question concerning urinary symptoms allows the patient to choose one out of six answers indicating increasing severity of the particular symptom. The answers are assigned points from 0 to 5. The total score can therefore range from 0 to 35 (asymptomatic to very symptomatic).The lower the score the better the outcome.

    Question eight refers to the patient's perceived quality of life. The range is from delighted with a score of zero to terrible with a score of 6. The lower the score the better the outcome.

    Measured: week 12

  4. Quality of Life Score

    Question eight of the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) refers to the patient's perceived quality of life. The range is from delighted with a score of zero to terrible with a score of 6. The lower the score the better the outcome

    Measured: Week 12

  5. Opioid Use

    Patient reported use of the number of tablets taken from provided prescription of opioids for post-operative pain. This will be converted to a standardized morphine equivalency for comparison. The lower the value the better the outcome.

    Measured: after discharge until post-op day 7

  6. Home Opioid Use in Standard Morphine Equivalency

    Patient reported use of the number of tablets taken from provided prescription of opioids for post-operative pain. This will be converted to a standardized morphine equivalency for comparison. The lower the value the better the outcome.

    Measured: after discharge until post-op day 7

  7. Number of Incontinence Pads Used

    Patient reported number of incontinence pads used per day. The lower the number the better the outcome.

    Measured: week 6

  8. Patient Reported Number of Pads Used Per Day.

    Patient reported number of incontinence pads used per day. The lower the number the better the outcome.

    Measured: Week 12

  9. Number of Participants Experiencing Bladder Neck Contracture

    Number of incidence of participants experiencing bladder neck contracture.

    Measured: week 12

  10. Number of Participants Experiencing Bladder Neck Contracture

    Number of Incidence of participants experiencing bladder neck contracture.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 16 French urinary catheter and 20 French urinary catheter in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Benaroya Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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 26 Dec 2019. 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 United States. 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 26 Dec 2019). 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?

Catheter Related Pain: Visual Analog Score Rating (time frame: post-op day 5-7). 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 26 Dec 2019.
