Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals under 18 years of age

  • Individuals with stones in the lower pole of kidney
  • Individuals not following up in the treating hospital

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

ASA physical status

The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Enhanced Lithotripsy System

    Treatment for urinary stones with the Enhanced Lithotripsy System

    Device: Enhanced Lithotripsy System

Interventions

  • DeviceEnhanced Lithotripsy System

    The Enhanced Lithotripsy System is a type of lithotripsy system comprising a console, treatment head, and Acoustic Energy Focusing material. Operation of the Enhanced Lithotripsy System entails combined action of extracorporeal insonation and Acoustic Energy Focusing material to fragment urinary stones.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of subjects with serious device-related adverse events (safety)

    Safety: Proportion of subjects with serious device-related adverse events

    Time frame: 30 days after last treatment session

Secondary outcomes

  1. Successful treatment of urinary stone

    Proportion of subjects with successful treatment or urinary stone

    Time frame: 14 days after last treatment session

Other outcomes

  1. Change in pain score

    Pelvic Pain of the Patient (Min - Zero, Max - 10), Higher score means more pain

    Time frame: Baseline and Post Procedure Days 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, and 30

  2. Time to passage of stones

    Post-Treatment time to passage of stone fragments after treatment

    Time frame: 30 days after last treatment session

  3. Pain medication usage

    Use and quantity of pain medication

    Time frame: Baseline and Days 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, and 30
