Anterior Pelvic Prolapse Reconstruction With TiLOOP® Total 6

January 31, 2019 updated by: pfm medical ag

National, Multicentre Post-marketing Surveillance Study on Anterior Pelvic Prolapse Reconstruction With Titanium-coated Polypropylene Mesh (TiLOOP® Total 6)

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of Anterior Pelvic Prolapse Reconstruction with a titanised polypropylene mesh on rate of erosion and patients quality of live.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This multicentre, non-randomised, observational clinical device investigation will be performed to obtain post-marketing information on the TiLOOP® pelvic floor reconstruction meshes and in particular on the rate of rare erosions of the device under investigation as well as on the improvement of patients' quality of life. It is expected that the rate of erosions is equal or lower compared to competitor devices currently on the market. To verify this, it will be shown that within the first year the erosion rate found for the product under investigation is in the range of 7.9 ± 5.4 %, which is the mean erosion rate found in the recent literature. Erosion, in the sense of the hypothesis, is any erosion 1 requiring more than simply the cut off of a single short filament.

It is also expected that the patient's quality of life is meliorated after implantation of a TiLOOP® Total 6 mesh. To verify this, it will be shown that by means of a validated questionnaire the subjective quality of life after 6 months is significantly better than before implantation.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
symptomatic genital descensus

Women with a symptomatic genital descensus : at least stage II (ICS-classification according pelvic organ prolapse quanification (POP-Q) system), or stage I with a symptomatic requiring intervention.

Standard method to implant the TiLOOP® Total 6 surgical mesh transvaginally.
Device: surgical mesh implantation (TiLOOP® Total 6)
The standard procedure for the surgical repair of anterior prolapse is via the obturator membrane. The surgical mesh TiLOOP® Total 6 is placed transvaginal by the aid of TiLOOP® surgical instruments to place the mesh arms.
Other Names:
  • TiLOOP® Total 6

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Erosion rate
Time Frame: 12 months
Erosion, in the sense of the end point, is any erosion requiring more than simply the cut off of a single short filament.
12 months
Patient's quality of life
Time Frame: 6 months
It will be shown that by means of a validated questionnaire whether the subjective quality of life after 6 months is significantly better than before implantation.
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
