Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 to 75 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Women over 40 years of age and under 75 years of age.
  • Failure of primary surgical technique with synthetic sling requiring its removal due to complications such as vaginal exposure or urinal tract erosion.
  • Any fistula or abnormality of the urinary tract, any erosion or complication due to the synthetic sling placement must be repaired during surgery. In case of persistence of complication or limited possibility to insert the UVT due to major vesical or urethral lesion, the patient will not be included.
  • Patients with controlled urinal tract infections.
  • Patients who received the study information and provided consent.

Who cannot join

  • Breast feeding women or women without effective contraception. In absence of effective contraception, a pregnancy test followed by an effective contraception are mandatories for non-menopausal women.
  • Patients with mild cases treated by physiotherapy and pelvic floor exercises for urinary incontinence or without surgical complications.
  • Patients with current urinary infection, severe anemia or other pathologies that counter-indicate surgery.
  • Cystocele and rectocele not treated during the surgery.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study Evaluating the Treatment of Women Urinary Incontinence by Suburethral Slings; UVT Allograft; in Patients Presenting With Complication of the Synthetic Sling Treatment

The purpose of this open, multi center trial is to evaluate a new biological replacement for synthetic slings in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.

Read the detailed description

It was estimated that more than 9 million French people are affected by urinary incontinence, of which 1% are treated surgically. Indeed, if medical treatment or rehabilitation fails, surgical treatment must be considered. Sling implantation is a commonly used surgical technique to treat stress urinary incontinence as it allows for a reduction in surgery time and morbidity and can be placed under local anesthesia. However, the risk of complications associated with the use of synthetic products is high and contributes to the recent decline of popularity of synthetic slings. As the demand for incontinence treatment remains high, fascia autograft surgeries are being proposed, even though they require an additional surgical procedure and expose the patient to complications at the donor site of the graft.

The study product aims to address the growing need for a safer but equally effective implant to avoid autografting while keeping the standard surgical technique.

The aim of this exploratory study is to evaluate a biological sling replacement to failed synthetic slings in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.

What is being measured

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

  1. No major signs of incontinence

    Use of less than 2 pads a day

    Measured: 6 months

  2. No complication related to investigational product

    Evaluation of urinary retention, dysuria, local inflammation, irritation of suture and suspension areas, and other indirect symptoms

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Decrease of the signs of complications of the first surgery

    Monitoring of urinary retention, dysuria, local inflammation, irritation of suture and suspension areas, and other indirect symptoms

    Measured: 15 days, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  2. Decrease of pain and analgesic consumption

    Pain evaluated from 0: no pain to 10: worst imaginable pain on visual analog scale (VAS)

    Measured: 15 days, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  3. Progressive recuperation of continence

    Continence evaluated by uroflow test and 3-day voiding diary

    Measured: 15 days, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  4. Decrease of Urinary Incontinence (UI) severity

    Decrease in the score of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Urinary Incontinence - Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) (0 = no UI, 21 = very severe UI)

    Measured: 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  5. Decrease of distress caused by UI symptoms

    Decrease of the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) score (0 = no distress caused by UI symptoms, 100 = highest possible distress cause by UI symptoms)

    Measured: 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  6. Improvement of health-related quality of life

    Decrease of the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) score (0 = no impact of UI on health-related quality of life, 100 = highest possible impact of UI on health-related quality of life)

    Measured: 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing UVT in people with Female Stress Incontinence and Stress Urinary Incontinence, run by TBF Genie Tissulaire at 3 sites in France.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 5 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

No major signs of incontinence (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Jun 2024.
