Brief Summary:
ROBUST III is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled adaptive sample size clinical trial to establish the safety and effectiveness for the Optilume Stricture Drug Coated Balloon (DCB).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Urethral Stricture Device: Optilume Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) Device: Control Treatment Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

ROBUST III is a prospective, multi-center, single blind randomized controlled clinical trial in a 2:1 allocation of treatment versus control device.

This study is an adaptive design with an interim analysis for sample size re-estimation performed after 60 subjects have been enrolled. The interim analysis will be be undertaken following completion of the 6-month follow-up data from these subjects. Based on the results of the interim analysis, the final total sample size required for the study will be re-estimated. A minimum of 140 subjects, and a maximum of 200 subjects (pending the re-estimation) will be enrolled in the study. A Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will review the interim analysis results, including the sample size re-estimation and make recommendations related to trial continuation to the sponsor.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Optilume Treatment
The treatment arm will be the Urotronic Optilume Drug Coated Balloon (DCB).
 Device: Optilume Drug Coated Balloon (DCB)
The Optilume Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) is a guidewire compatible catheter with a tapered atraumatic tip. The distal end of the catheter has an inflatable balloon coated with a proprietary coating containing the drug paclitaxel that facilitates the drug's transfer to the urethral wall upon inflation.
Active Comparator: Control Treatment
The control arm will be treated by a urethral dilation method considered to be best standard of care for the study site and subject. A control treatment may be either a rod, uncoated balloon or DVIU.
 Device: Control Treatment
A control subject may be dilated with either a rod, uncoated balloon or DVIU until the desired result is reached, based on standard of care for the clinical site and treating physician
Other Names:
  • Uncoated dilation balloon
  • Direct Vision Internal Urethrotomy (DVIU)
  • Rigid Rod

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   Male
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male subjects ≥ 18 years' old
  2. Visual confirmation of stricture via cystoscopy or urethrogram
  3. Single, tandem or diffuse anterior urethral stricture(s), less than or equal to 3.0 cm total length measured by retrograde urethrogram. (Stricture length is defined as the distance between the most distal edge of the stricture to the most proximal edge of the stricture).
  4. Two or more prior dilation treatments of the same stricture, including DVIU (Direct Vision Internal Urethrotomy), but no prior urethroplasty.
  5. Significant symptoms of stricture such as frequency of urination, dysuria, urgency, hematuria, slow flow, feeling of incomplete emptying, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI's).
  6. International Prostrate Symptoms Score (IPSS) score of 11 or higher (assumed to be "35" if suprapubic catheter is present)
  7. Lumen diameter ≤ 12F by urethrogram
  8. Qmax <15 ml/sec (assumed to be "0" if suprapubic catheter is present)
  9. Guidewire must be able to cross the lesion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects with diffuse stricture length, greater than 3.0 cm in total length. (Stricture length is defined as the distance between the most distal edge of the stricture to the most proximal edge of the stricture).
  2. Subjects with a history of hypersensitivity reactions to TAXOL, on medication that may have negative interaction with paclitaxel, with solid tumors who have a baseline neutrophil counts of <1500 cells/mm3 or subjects with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma with baseline neutrophile counts of <1000 cells/mm3.
  3. Subjects who had an indwelling suprapubic catheter longer than three (3) months total prior to enrollment.
  4. Previous urethroplasty within the anterior urethra
  5. Stricture dilated or incised within the last six (6) weeks (urethral catheterization is not considered dilation)
