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.

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."}
