Tip-flexible Semi-rigid Ureterorenoscope Versus Flexible Ureteroscopy in

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the novel tip-flexible semi-rigid ureterorenoscope for the treatment of renal calculi using a prospective, randomized multicentre trial design. Half of participants will receive retrograde intrarenal surgery using the tip-flexible semi-rigid ureterorenoscope, while the other half participants will receive retrograde intrarenal surgery using the classic flexible ureteroscope.

Clinical Trial Description

Retrograde intrarenal surgery using flexible ureteroscope has become the first-line treatment for renal calculi < 3.0 cm and is recommended by the European Association of Urology due to its minimally-invasive nature and satisfactory result.

However, some limitations still remain. Poor maneuverability, extra costs for the ureteral access sheath, and high device vulnerability still preclude flexible ureteroscopy from wider distribution.

Recently, the investigators present a novel ureterorenoscope, which is composed of a retractable rigid sheath and a semi-rigid ureteroscope with a flexible part on the tip. When the flexible tip of the inner shaft maintains within the sheath, working in the "rigid mode", the tip-flexible semi-rigid ureterorenoscope is capable of passing either the orifice or the physiological tortuosity of the ureter with ease. When the inner shaft is extended beyond the sheath, the endoscope is switched to the "flexible mode", capable of performing an intrarenal approach.

This endoscope integrates the classic semi-rigid and flexible ureteroscope both structurally and functionally, and has been approved for clinical application by the China Food and Drug Administration. In this study, transverse comparison is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the tip-flexible semi-rigid ureterorenoscope for the treatment of renal calculi. ;

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.
