Global Performance Evaluation of the AMS CONTINUUM™ Device

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

1. To evaluate Device performance in providing mucosa to mucosa apposition to facilitate sustainable vesico-urethral anastomosis during a radical prostatectomy procedure.

2. To assess clinical outcomes of the Device in facilitating the vesico-urethral anastomosis following a radical prostatectomy.

Clinical Trial Description

Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the most utilized surgical treatment option for localized prostate cancer due to the multi-focal nature of the disease. RP is most suitable for otherwise healthy men whose cancer is limited to a small area. The RP procedure involves removing the prostate gland, seminal vesicles and nearby lymph nodes. One of the most technically challenging and critical aspects in all of these surgical approaches is reconstruction of the interrupted urinary tract by hand sewing the vesico-urethral anastomosis. This is where the bladder neck is sewn to the urethra after the prostate has been removed.

CONTINUUM™ (study Device) is to be used as part of the RP procedure by facilitating the approximation of the bladder neck and urethral stump. The Device brings together and holds the tissue in place until adequate natural healing of the vesico-urethral anastomosis occurs thereby minimizing extravasation. The Device also provides a conduit for drainage of urine from the bladder out the urethra during tissue healing.

The concept of the CONTINUUM™ device and the feasibility of its operation have been successfully tested in animal and human studies. Pilot clinical studies in the United States (G060095) found that the majority of subjects who received and were discharged with the Device demonstrated a water-tight vesico-urethral anastomosis at the first Device removal visit. Additionally, no unanticipated adverse device effects (UADEs) were reported. The focus of the proposed study is to further verify the performance of the Device in global research centers. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
