NCT02979808

Brief Summary

This study is designed as an open, prospective, non-controlled, qualitative, multicentre study of a novel transanal irrigation system performed in a population of 150 subjects suffering from spinal cord injury and confirmed neurological bowel dysfunction. The study is expected to last for a total of 1 year (treatment period) with a planned 12- month recruitment period and three scheduled site visits.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in neurogenic bowel disfunction symptoms.

    1\. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate change in neurogenic bowel dysfunction symptoms between baseline and 3 months use of the Navina™ Smart system, as measured by a patient friendly version of the validated instrument NBD Score.

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Change of QoL status

    Baseline, 3-months, 12-months

  • NBD symptoms

    6-months, 9-months, 12-months

  • Product use compliance.

    3-months, 6-months, 9-months, and 12-months

  • Patient satisfaction assessed through patient reported outcome (PRO) variables.

    3-months and 12-months

  • Frequency of urinary tract infection (UTI).

    3-months and 12-months

  • +6 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Navina Smart

EXPERIMENTAL

Navina Smart will be used during 12 months for transanal irrigation (TAI).

Device: Navina Smart

Interventions

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Provision of informed consent.
  • Male or female aged 18 years or older.
  • Patient with previously confirmed chronic spinal cord injury, either:
  • Traumatic; at any level and any completeness of injury and ASIA grade classification, or
  • Non-traumatic; due to infection, inflammation (i.e.; transverse myelitis or ischaemic myelitis), compromised blood supply, a post-ischemic state, etc.
  • At least 3 months post spinal cord injury at time of consent.
  • NBD score ≥10, confirmed at Baseline .
  • Only TAI treatment - naïve patient (not having previously used any particular transanal irrigation system, e.g. Peristeen®).
  • Confirmed NBD refractory to conservative therapy and judged eligible for transanal irrigation as per standardised treatment pathway 18.
  • Able to handle smartphone/tablet.

You may not qualify if:

  • Any confirmed or suspected diagnosis of anal or rectal stenosis, active inflammatory bowel disease, acute diverticulitis, severe diverticulosis, colorectal cancer, ischemic colitis, history of life-threatening autonomic dysreflexia, bleeding disorders, unspecified peri-anal conditions.
  • Untreated rectal impaction.
  • Any radiotherapy to the pelvis.
  • Any current treatment with anticoagulants (not including aspirin or clopidogrel).
  • Any current treatment with long-term systemic steroid medication (not including inhalation agents and/or local topical treatment).
  • Current use of prokinetics.
  • Any prior rectal or colonic surgery (not including anal procedures \>3 months ago, e.g. haemorrhoid excision).
  • Anal, rectal and/or colonic endoscopic polypectomy within the previous 4 weeks.
  • Overt or planned pregnancy.
  • Ongoing symptomatic UTI as judged by investigator.
  • Diagnosed psychiatric illness, considered as unstable by the investigator.
  • Diagnosed with MS.
  • Involvement in the planning and conduct of the study (applies to both WHC staff and staff at the study site).
  • Previous enrolment in the present study.
  • Simultaneous participation in another clinical study that may interfere with the present study.
