Scientific titleRandomised controlled trial of laparoscopic, open and robot assisted prostatectomy as treatment for organ-confined prostate cancer
Study acronymLopeRA
Study objectivesThis study will demonstrate the feasibility of patient recruitment to a randomised controlled trial comparing open, laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
Ethics approval(s)East London City Research Ethics Committee (REC), 23/12/2009, ref: 09/H0704/70
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedProstate cancer
InterventionThere are three groups:
1. Open prostatectomy
2. Laparoscopic prostatectomy
3. Robot-assisted prostatectomy
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureAccrual rate: aim to recruit more than 100 patients with at least 75 patients within a 12-month period (e.g. between 12 and 24 months after all centres are open to recruitment).
Secondary outcome measures1. Compliance with protocol: a compliant patient will be defined as one who receives their allocated treatment and the in-patient standardised peri-operative care. We aim to show that more than 80% are compliant.
2. Clinical and patient-orientated outcomes:
2.1. Operation duration
2.2. Blood loss
2.3. Transfusion rates
2.4. Peri-operative haemoglobin change
2.5. Operative complications
2.6. Length of hospital stay
2.7. Pathological specimen positive margin rates and biochemical progression-free rates
2.8. Sexual function
2.9. Urinary continence
2.10. Quality of life measures

All patients are followed up for 12 months.
