Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- The main endpoint for this study is the total sexual domain score coming from the EPIC-26 questionnaire, 12 months after radical prostatectomy. A change of 12 points in this domain is considered clinically relevant.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Measured using the EPIC-26 questionnaire sexual domain score at 12 months after radical prostatectomy; a change of 12 points is considered clinically relevant."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- 1. EPIC-26 sexual functioning domain score [0-100] at 6 months after RP. A difference of 12 points or more is considered clinically relevant.\n- 2. EPIC-26 sexual functioning domain score [0-100] at 24 months after RP. A difference of 12 points or more is considered clinically relevant.\n- 3. EPIC-26 urinary incontinence domain score [0-100] at 12 months after RP. A difference of 9 points or more is considered clinically relevant.\n- 4. EPIC-26 urinary incontinence domain score [0-100] at 24 months after RP. A difference of 9 points or more is considered clinically relevant.\n- 5. EPIC-26 hormonal functioning domain score [0-100] at 12 months after RP. A difference of 6 points or more is considered clinically relevant.\n- 6. EPIC-26 hormonal functioning domain score [0-100] at 24 months after RP. A difference of 6 points or more is considered clinically relevant.\n- 7. Occurrence of biochemical recurrence (two times detectable PSA > 0.2 ng/ml)\n- 8. In case of biochemical recurrence, time to recurrence in months.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"EPIC-26 domain scores measured at specified timepoints (6, 12, 24 months); clinically relevant differences defined in text (12 points for sexual domain, 9 points for urinary incontinence, 6 points for hormonal). Biochemical recurrence defined as two times detectable PSA > 0.2 ng/ml; time to recurrence measured in months."}

Other endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Exploratory objective: gain insight on the effect of RP on serum testosterone levels in both patients with normal pre-operative","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Exploratory assessment of serum testosterone levels pre- and post-radical prostatectomy; exact measurement schedule/definition truncated in source."}
