About this study

Official title: Clinical Performance and Safety of ONIRY Device in Detecting Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries Using Machine-learning-assisted Impedance Spectroscopy

The main purpose of the study is to confirm the clinical performance and safety of impedance spectroscopy using the ONIRY device for the detection of anal sphincter injuries arising from vaginal deliveries.

The study group comprises 150 primiparous or multiparous women up to 8 weeks after the vaginal (spontaneous or assisted) delivery of singleton, live foetus, in any presentation, in gestational week 34 or more. The timeline for each subject in the study will be up to 5 weeks and will include 3 visits (V1-V3).

Read more

All participants will be divided into 3 groups: A, B, C. Group A - subjects with no perineal tear signs, Group B - subjects with grade 1 or 2 per OASIS classification, and Group C - subjects with grade 3 or 4).

The diagnostic performance will be evaluated in comparison to 3-D EUS (endoanal ultrasound) as a primary performance measure (primary endpoint).

Read the detailed description

The main purpose of the study is to confirm the clinical performance and safety of impedance spectroscopy using the ONIRY device for the detection of anal sphincter injuries arising from vaginal deliveries. The whole study is divided into 2 parts. Part I is a clinical trial; after completion of Part I, an analytical classification model will be established (during Part II) based on data from pilot studies and Part I of the study. It will be then built into the ONIRY Meter as a machine-learning-based interpretation module; proposed for ultimate marketing authorisation.

Part I of the study will be prospective, multicentre, international. The study group comprises 150 primiparous or multiparous women up to 8 weeks after the vaginal (spontaneous or assisted) delivery of singleton, live foetus, in any presentation, in gestational week 34 or more. The timeline for each subject in the study will be up to 5 weeks and will include 3 visits (V1-V3).

After obtaining written consent, at the first study visit (V1) each patient will undergo a general physical examination, proctological and gynaecological examination, ECG recording, 3-D EUS (endoanal ultrasound, used as a reference and for the study group allocation) and once V1 visit is conducted 3 or more days after delivery Wexner score will be used to assess the clinical symptoms of faecal incontinence.

Based on the physical proctological examination and EUS at the V1 visit, all participants will be divided into 3 groups: A, B, C. Group A - subjects with no perineal tear signs, Group B - subjects with the presence of perineal skin injury or perineum injury involving crotch muscles but not involving anal sphincters (grade 1 or 2 per OASIS classification) and Group C - subjects with the presence of perineal injury involving anal sphincters (damage of the external anal sphincter thickness, damage to both the external and internal anal sphincters, or damage to the perineum, anal sphincteric complex and anal epithelium; grade 3-4).

On the visit V2 performed on the same day as V1 or scheduled up to 7 days after the V1, after the final verification of inclusion/exclusion criteria, blood samples for laboratory tests and stool samples for calprotectin concentration assessment will be collected, ONIRY recording will be made, 10 minutes after the end of the impedance measurement 12-lead ECG recording will also be performed in each patient.

On the third visit (V3) 1-28 days after visit V2, high-resolution Anorectal Manometry will be conducted.

No control group is planned. However, study participants will be controls for themselves (test and reference diagnostic methods will be applied and evaluated in each subject).

In Part I of the study, the ONIRY system will provide only preliminary interpretations of the impedance measurements based on models established from the data collected during Pilot Studies No. 1/1/2018 (NCT03769792) and No. 2/1/2019 (NCT04181840). The web-based app will be used to provide the interpretations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic Outcome in Clinically-evaluable (CE) Population with 3-D EUS used as the reference diagnostic method

Diagnostic Success: i. occurrence of an anal sphincter injury; or ii. absence of an anal sphincter injury; confirmed consistently by ONIRY and the reference diagnostic method (True Positive, TP, or True Negative, TN, respectively); b. Diagnostic Failure: i. occurrence of anal sphincter injury detected by ONIRY and absence of anal sphincter injury found out using the reference diagnostic method (False Positive, FP) or ii. absence of anal sphincter injury by ONIRY and occurrence of anal sphincter injury found out using the reference diagnostic method (False Negative, FN); c. Diagnostic Indeterminate - all cases in which no ONIRY or reference diagnostic method result is available or interpretable.

    Measured: Up to 9 weeks post-partum

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 15 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 22 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Czechia, Poland, Slovakia, Spain. 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?

Diagnostic Outcome in Clinically-evaluable (CE) Population with 3-D EUS used as the reference diagnostic method (time frame: Up to 9 weeks post-partum). 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 22 Jan 2024.
