Hyaluronic Acid Sodium Salt and Hydeal-D in the Management of LUTS After TURBT for NMIBC.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This will be an open-label, prospective, single-centre, randomised, controlled, parallel-group medical device investigation. The investigational plan will include four visits in total at the investigational site. One visit (Visit 2) will consist in the hospitalisation period and will last 3/4 days. Patients will be admitted to hospital in the day preceding the TURBT (Day -1; in case the TURBT is programmed in the morning) or in the day of the TURBT (Day 0; in case the TURBT is programmed in the afternoon) and will stay in the hospital for 3/4 days after the intervention (performed on Day 0). Patients will then be discharged, if considered as appropriate based on Investigator's judgment, following the removal of the catheter and the first clear urination. Patients will be asked to remain in the same geographic area of the investigational site up to the end of study visit.

Detailed Description
The following visits/activities will be performed:
-
Visit 1: the screening visit will be performed between 60 and 14 days before the TURBT (Day -60/-14);
-
Visit 2 (hospitalisation): patients will be admitted to hospital in the day preceding the TURBT or in the day of the TURBT and will be randomised to the assigned treatment group. TURBT will be performed on Day 0. The first treatment with the investigational device will be performed within 6 hours from the end of TURBT. The catheter will be removed at Day 2 ± 1 if considered as appropriate based on Investigator's judgment, following the first clear urination). The second treatment with the investigational device will be performed just before the removal of the catheter and the discharge from hospital.
-
Visit 3: a follow-up visit will be performed at Day 5 ± 1 (i.e. 3 days after catheter removal);
-
Visit 4: the end of study visit will be performed at Day 25 ± 4.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Evaluation of severity rate of storage symptoms (frequency, urgency, nocturia) compared to control group [3 days after catheter removal]
Severity of storage symptoms will be evaluated through a patient's bladder diary
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Evaluation of severity rate of storage symptoms (frequency, urgency, nocturia) compared to control group [25 days]
Severity of storage symptoms will be evaluated through patient's bladder diary
- Evaluation of changes from baseline in severity of urinary symptoms compared to control group [25 days]
Change from baseline (Day -1) in severity of urinary symptoms will be evaluated by IPSS. Scores obtained in the group of patients treated with Hydeal Cyst® will be compared with scores obtained in the control group. Storage and voiding symptoms will be also estimated in both arms by IPSS-s and IPSS-v subscores.The answers are assigned points from 0 to 5. The total score can therefore range from 0 to 35 (asymptomatic to very symptomatic) and the overall intensity of urinary symptoms is categorised in mild (score 1-7), moderate (score 8-19) and severe (score 20-35).
- Evaluation of changes from baseline in severity rate of urinary symptoms compared to control group [25 days]
Change from baseline in severity and frequency of urinary symptoms, as evaluated by ICIQ-MLUTS in males and ICIQ-FLUTS in females. Scores obtained in the group of patients treated with Hydeal Cyst® will be compared with scores obtained in the control group.The ICIQ is a questionnaire for evaluating male lower urinary tract symptoms and impact on quality of life (QoL) .All items are evaluated using a score rated 0-4 for frequency and a score 0-10 for bothering, with higher scores corresponding to higher severity of symptoms.
- Evaluation of changes from baseline in severity of pelvic pain compared to control group [25 days]
Change from baseline in severity of pelvic pain, as evaluated by means of a 0-100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS). Scores in the group of patients treated with Hydeal Cyst® will be compared with scores obtained in the control group.
- Duration of catheter implant as time of permanence of cathether implanted compared to control group [49 hours]
The time (hours) of permanence of catheter implanted will be counted for every patient and will be codified in classes (< 47 hours, 48 ± 1 hours, > 49 hours). The frequencies in the group of patients treated with Hydeal Cyst® will be calculated and compared with those of the control group. The analysis of the duration of catheter implant will be performed by means of a Chi-square test or a Fisher's Exact test on the analysis of classes (< 47 hours, 48 ± 1 hours, > 49 hours).
- Rescue medication consumption after surgery compared to control group [25 days]
The proportion of users and the amount of used rescue medication in the treated-group of patients with Hydeal Cyst® will be compared with those of the control group.
- Evaluation of quality of life using the EuroQoL-5D compared to control group [25 days]
Quality of life will be evaluated using the EQ-5D-5L (QoL), as mean scores of patients treated with Hydeal Cyst® compared with scores of control group.The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. This decision results in a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state.
- Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events compared to the control group [25 days]
Adverse Events (AEs) encountered will be reported and documented in the AE page of the e-CRF, whether considered to be related to the investigational device or not. If the Adverse Event is serious, the Serious Adverse Event Form must also be completed.
