Study summary

The aim of the study was to assess the role of the Exair transvaginal mesh system to correct pelvic organ prolapse from a subjective and objective standpoint. Subjects treated with the Exair transvaginal mesh for prolapse between June 2013 and August 2015 was analyzed. Subjects with uterine prolapse underwent vaginal mesh hysteropexy. There were no hysterectomies done for uterine prolapse in this study. A composite score that included subjective criteria of absence of a bothersome bulge, no prolapse below the hymen and no retreatment was used to assess success.Transvaginal Exair mesh hysteropexy offers a good option for the management of large uterine prolapses precluding the need for a hysterectomy.

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.

    Exair transvaginal mesh surgery

    This is a prospective study done in 80 consecutive subjects who underwent the Exair transvaginal mesh surgery from June 2013 to August 2015. The subjects were followed at 4 weeks, 6 months and 12 months post-operatively. All eligible subjects underwent a detailed urogynecologic history and examination including a Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system assessment (POP-Q).

    Device: Exair Transvaginal Mesh

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Exair transvaginal mesh procedure success in anatomy and function at 1 year

    Subjects who underwent the Exair transvaginal mesh surgery were followed post-operatively to determine mesh procedure success at 12 months. A composite score that included subjective criteria of absence of a bothersome bulge, no prolapse below the hymen and no retreatment was used to assess success. Subjects treated with the Exair transvaginal mesh for prolapse between June 2013 and August 2015 was analyzed. The aim of the study was to assess the role of the Exair transvaginal mesh system to correct pelvic organ prolapse from a subjective and objective standpoint.

    Time frame: 1 year

Ran from Apr 2013 to primary completion in Aug 2015, 28 months.

Of 162 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Pelvic Organ Prolapse, half reached primary completion within 22 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 43. This study's 28 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 179 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 48.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 5, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
