September 27, 2013 updated by: Renew Medical

A Multi-Center, Prospective, Non-Randomized Study of the Renew Insert Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability For the Management of Accidental Bowel Leakage Due to Bowel Incontinence

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of the Renew Insert is effective, tolerable and safe in the treatment of accidental bowel leakage due to bowel incontinence.

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

Prospective, open label, single-arm, non-randomized, multi-center study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the Renew Insert in moderate-to-severe bowel incontinence patients: Minimum Wexner score of 12 AND at least weekly (score 3 or higher) leakage of solid and or liquid type stool.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

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
Co-primary Effectiveness Endpoint: A Relative Percentage Change in Episodes of Accidental Bowel Leakage (ABL) Determined by Comparing Treatment Results to Pre-treatment Results From the Baseline Period as Measured by Daily Diary Recordings.
Time Frame: Reduction in accidental bowel leakage from Baseline (Weeks 1-4) through Treatment period (Weeks 5-16).
This co-primary effectiveness endpoint was calculated as a relative percentage of the baseline Accidental Bowel Leakage (ABL) using the following equation: % reduction in ABL = 100*(baseline period ABL - treatment period ABL) / (baseline period ABL)
Reduction in accidental bowel leakage from Baseline (Weeks 1-4) through Treatment period (Weeks 5-16).
Co-primary Effectiveness Endpoint: A Relative Percentage Change in Wexner Score (or Bowel Incontinence) Severity by Comparing Post-treatment Wexner Scores to Pre-treatment (End of Baseline Period) Wexner Scores.
Time Frame: Wexner score was calculated at the end of the Baseline period (Weeks 1-4) to the end of the 12-Week Treatment Period (week 16).

The Wexner fecal incontinence scale takes into account five parameters that are scored on a scale from zero (absent) to four (daily) frequency of incontinence to gas, liquid, solid, use of pad, and quality of life. Full continence is a Wexner total of zero (0), whereas full incontinence is a Wexner total of 20.

This co-primary effectiveness endpoint is the mean % reduction in Wexner score from the baseline period to the end of the treatment period, which was calculated according to the following equation: % reduction in Wexner = 100% (baseline period Wexner - end treatment period Wexner) / (baseline period Wexner).
Wexner score was calculated at the end of the Baseline period (Weeks 1-4) to the end of the 12-Week Treatment Period (week 16).
