Surgical Skill Training clinical trials

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.

NCT ID: NCT03863028 Completed - Bladder Cancer Clinical Trials

Development and Validation of a Simulator-based Test in Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumors

Start date: March 15, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Bladder cancer (BC) is the seventh most common cancer in men worldwide and fourth most common cancer among Danish men. BC is estimated to be the most cost expensive cancer pr. patient life. BC is diagnosed, staged and if possible treated with a transurethral bladder tumor resection (TUR-B). The prognosis of BC is depending on the depth of invasion, which makes the quality of the TURB procedure of utmost importance. Retrospective studies from Sweden and Canada on resident involvement in TURB procedures indicated that the TURBs were insufficient with regard to staging and had a higher need of repeating TURB. Surgical training for TURB in Denmark today is based on the Halstedian principle: "See one, do one, teach one", comparable to training in Sweden and Canada. Thus, there is a need to develop better and safer principles for training. Simulators for surgical procedures have a promising role in the surgical training. The project will explore the effect of simulation training on the quality in transurethral resection of bladder tumors. Based on our findings the principles of simulator training will be integrated in a curriculum for simulator-based TURB training for urological surgeons in Denmark. The collaboration research group is composed of medical doctors in urological surgery at Urological Department at Zealand University Hospital, Roskilde (ROS) and experts in medical simulation at Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation at Rigshospitalet (CAMES).
