Pivotal Study of Voro Urologic Scaffold
open to eligible males ages 45 years and up
The objective of this study is to compare safety and effectiveness of the Voro Urologic Scaffold in adult men undergoing robotic assisted radical prostatectomy as compared to control arm. The study is a multi-center, single blind, randomized, controlled trial. Up to 266 participants will be treated at up to 30 centers in the United States. The study will consist of a Baseline visit, implantation during robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), catheter removal, 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months.

Practice-Based Intervention To Improve Care for a Diverse Population Of Women With Urinary Incontinence
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The main goal of this clinical trial is to improve the care for urinary incontinence (UI) provided to adult women by primary care providers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can a practice-based intervention involving primary care providers lead to improved quality of incontinence care? - Will this intervention reduce the utilization of specialist care for urinary incontinence? - What effect will this intervention have on patient outcomes, including disease-specific outcomes, symptom severity, quality of life, and patient knowledge? - Does our intervention reduce disparities in care? Provider participants will be randomized at the office level to either an intervention group or a delayed intervention (control) group. The intervention group will receive an intervention consisting of academic detailing, clinical decision support tools, electronic referral, and the ability to refer to an advanced practice provider for co-management. The delayed intervention group will provide usual care until the crossover phase of the study, at which point they will receive the same intervention as the intervention group. Patient participants will bring up urinary incontinence with their primary care provider and complete three electronic surveys. Researchers will compare the intervention group to the delayed intervention (control) group to see if the intervention results in increased adherence to evidence-based quality indicators.

Autologous Muscle Derived Cells Compared to Placebo for Urinary Sphincter Repair in Post-surgical Female Stress Incontinence
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Autologous Muscle Derived Cells for Urinary Sphincter Repair (AMDC-USR; generic name: iltamiocel) compared to a placebo in the reduction of stress incontinence episode frequency in adult female patients with post-surgical persistent or recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Half of the participants will receive AMDC-USR (injections with cells) and the other half will receive placebo.

Non-Invasive Pelvic Floor Neuromuscular Stimulation for Urinary Incontinence After Prostatectomy
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
Urinary incontinence is a common complication following prostatectomy and affects a substantial proportion of patients. Despite advances in surgical technique, many patients experience persistent symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Current management strategies include pelvic floor muscle training, biofeedback and physical therapy, and surgical options. However, these approaches may be limited by adherence, access, and invasiveness, leaving a subset of patients with ongoing symptoms despite standard care. Non-invasive pelvic floor neuromuscular stimulation has emerged as a potential adjunct for pelvic floor rehabilitation by inducing supramaximal muscle contractions and enhancing neuromuscular activation without requiring active patient effort. Preliminary studies suggest that high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation may improve patient-reported continence outcomes and pad usage in women as well as men following radical prostatectomy, though existing data are limited by small sample sizes and short follow-up durations. Additionally, no clinical studies exist evaluating outcomes in men following prostatectomy prior to established stress incontinence. Given these limitations, further evaluation is needed to assess the feasibility, tolerability, and short-term effectiveness of this intervention in a post-prostatectomy population.

Outcomes of Urinary Incontinence Treatment in Primary Care: APP Co-Management and Electronic Consult
Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only
The burden of urinary incontinence (UI) on American women is immense in both human and financial terms, and continues to rise with the aging US population. Although numerous non-surgical management strategies have proven efficacy for both stress and urge urinary incontinence, there remains a lack of appropriate UI management in the primary care setting. The goal of this multi-site cluster randomized comparative effectiveness trial is to compare the effects of two methods of nonsurgical UI care delivery - electronic consult vs. advanced practice provider (APP) co-management. These two evidence-based, practice-changing strategies are designed to improve the quality of care for an ethnically diverse population of women with UI, and, by reducing deficits in care, obtain better patient-reported outcomes. Both arms of the study will include basic physician education (academic detailing) and electronic clinical decision support. In Arm 1, the investigators will implement an electronic referral system (electronic referral), in which specialists will electronically review referrals and make additional recommendations if appropriate primary UI care was not provided. In Arm 2, Advanced Practice Provider (APP) co-management will reduce the burden of care on the PCPs by providing UI care, patient education, and assisting with patient self-management through dedicated televisits (APP co-management).
