Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to obtain surgical technique data for use in physician education and training and to collect early clinical outcomes data for future publication.


Description:

A multi-center study conducted under a common implant and follow-up protocol. The study will collect pre-operative urologic testing, medical history and subject quality of life (Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire). Intra-operative procedural data will be collected.

Pad weight and incontinence severity rating (using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ)) will be used to characterize continence status.

Post-operative complications, urologic testing, and subject quality of life will be collected at six weeks and three, six, 12, and 24 months.

Study Design


Intervention

Device:
The AMS Male Transobturator Sling System
The AMS Male Transobturator Sling System was developed to treat urinary stress incontinence in men resulting from intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) secondary to radical prostatectomy. The Male Transobturator Sling System procedure is minimally invasive and consists of using two single-use needle passers and passing them through two small incisions over the obturator foramen. The needles are pushed in an arc through the tissue and exited at a perineal incision. Once the passers are through the perineal incision, the Sling System mesh arms are attached to the needles which are then pulled back through the needle track to their points of origin over the obturator foramen. The Sling System is subsequently tensioned and all incisions are closed.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Procedural Endpoint: Procedure Time From First Incision to Closing. Characterize procedure time from first incision to closing. During Procedure, Approximately 60 Minutes
Primary Procedural Endpoint: Type of Anesthesia Used Describe the type of anesthesia used. During Procedure, Approximately 60 Minutes
Primary Procedural Endpoint: Rate of Foley Catheter Use - Intraoperative Number of participants requiring the use of a foley catheter intra-operatively. During Procedure, Approximately 60 Minutes
Primary Procedural Endpoint: Rate of Foley Catheter Use - Post-operative Number of participants requiring the use of a foley catheter who were able to void prior to discharge. post-operative to discharge
Primary Procedural Endpoint: Rate of Foley Catheter Use - Post-discharge Number of participants requiring the use of a foley catheter post-discharge following Bladder Management instructions. post discharge
Primary Procedural Endpoint: Descriptive Procedural Parameters - Use of Tack Sutures Characterize procedural parameters including the use of tack sutures. During Procedure, Approximately 60 Minutes
Primary Procedural Endpoint: Descriptive Procedural Parameters - Muscle Dissection Characterize procedural parameters, including muscle dissection across all participants. During Procedure, Approximately 60 Minutes
Primary Procedural Endpoint: Descriptive Procedural Parameters - Movement of Urethral Bulb While Tensioning Characterize procedural parameters, including the movement of urethral bulb while tensioning in all participants. During Procedure, Approximately 60 Minutes
Primary Device Success as Defined as Successful Placement of the Device in Desired Position Peri-operatively Summarize device success as defined as a successful placement of the device in a desired position, peri-operatively, in participants. During Procedure, Approximately 60 Minutes
Secondary Subject Satisfaction Endpoint: 1-Hour Pad Weight Summarize subject satisfaction of 1-hour pad weight for participants. Baseline to 24 month
Secondary Subject Satisfaction Endpoint: 24-Hour Pad Weight Summarize subject satisfaction with 24-hour pad weight across participants. Baseline to 24 month
Secondary Subject Satisfaction Endpoint: Percentage of Subjects Having a Decrease of Pad Weight of 25%, 50%, or 75% at Follow-Up. (1 Hour Pad Weight Test) Summarize the percent of subjects that have a decrease of pad weight of 25%, 50%, or 75% at follow-up (1-hour pad weight test used). Baseline to 24 month
Secondary Subject Satisfaction Endpoint: Percentage of Subjects Having a Decrease of Pad Weight of 25%, 50%, or 75% at Follow-Up. (24 Hour Pad Weight Test) Summarize the percent of subjects that have a decrease of pad weight of 25%, 50%, or 75% at follow-up (24-hour pad weight test used). Baseline to 24 Month
Secondary Subject Satisfaction Endpoint: Pads Per Day Use Summarize the subject satisfaction using pads per day use collected in follow-up in participants. Baseline to 24 Months
Secondary Subject Satisfaction Endpoint: Quality of Life I-QOL Scores The Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL) questionnaire contains 22 items, each with a 5-point Likert-type response scale, evaluating a subject's quality of life with respect to his urinary problems or incontinence. A possible total score can be 0-100, with a higher score meaning less problems. Baseline to 24 Months
Secondary Subject Satisfaction Endpoint: Quality of Life International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short-Form (ICIQ-SF) Scores The ICIQ-SF questionnaire evaluates the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life through four questions that evaluate the frequency, severity and impact of urinary incontinence. A set of eight self-diagnosis items related to the causes or situations of urinary incontinence experienced by the subject are also assessed. Scores may range from 0 to 21. Improvement in the subject's quality of life from baseline to follow-up is indicated by a decrease in the ICIQ-SF score. Baseline to 24 Months
Secondary Subject Satisfaction Endpoint: Quality of Life UCLA (University of California Los Angeles) / RAND (RAND Corporation) Scores Improvement in the subject's quality of life from baseline to follow-up is indicated by an increase in the UCLA/RAND urinary function score. Scores may range from 0 to 100. Baseline to 24 Months
