Conditions

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Brief summary

To evaluate the AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) in men with primary stress urinary incontinence as measured by pad weight tests.

Detailed description

Study is designed to evaluate the performance of the AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) in men with primary stress urinary incontinence as measured by pad weight tests.

Interventions

DEVICEAMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter

The AMS 800 Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) is an implantable, fluid filled, solid silicone elastomer device used to treat stress urinary incontinence due to reduced urethral/bladder outlet resistance (intrinsic sphincter deficiency). It is designed to restore the natural process of urinary control. The device simulates normal sphincter function by opening and closing the urethra under the control of the patient.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

Subjects will be considered enrolled in the study once they sign the informed consent. All enrolled subjects will have been consented prior to the procedure. All enrolled subjects with a surgery initiated (i.e. first incision) will be considered part of the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population. A total of 145 subjects were enrolled and 115 continued on to undergo the index procedure, qualifying them for inclusion in the ITT population.

Number of Subjects With Reduction in 24 Hour Pad Weight Test at 12 Months

Number of subjects achieving 50% reduction or greater in baseline urinary incontinence as measured by 24-hour pad weight test at 12 months post device activation

Time frame: 12 months

Population: The analysis was performed on subjects in the Intent to Treat (ITT) population who had available 24-hr pad weight data available at their 12 month follow-up visit. The ITT subject population included all subjects who provided written informed consent to be enrolled into the study, and have a surgery initiated (defined as the first incision).

With a one-sided type I error of 0.025 and a type II error of 0.10 (90% power), a sample size of 96 subjects needed to demonstrate the proportion of subjects who are a treatment success exceeds 65%.p-value: <0.001Exact binomial test
