  Purpose

Men following after proven and treated urethritis, looking for signs of chronic genital inflammatory syndrome with oxidative stress.

This group of patients will be compared to a control group with no urethritis and no history of urogenital infection. Monocentric, prospective trial.

Duration of study : one year


Condition Intervention
Urethritis
 Other: Sperm sample

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Prevention
Official Title: Study of the Prevalence of a Chronic Inflammatory Condition of the Male Genital Tract at a Distance and Urethritis Following.

Further study details as provided by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Seminal elastase value [ Time Frame: 6 months after the end of treatment. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The dosage of elastase will be do 6 months after the end of treatment.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Seminal elastase value [ Time Frame: 12 months after the end of treatment. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The dosage of elastase will be do 12 months after the end of treatment.

  • Presence of markers of oxidative stress [ Time Frame: 6 to 12 months after the end of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Presence of markers objectifying the existence of oxidative stress resulting in cellular alterations: Determination of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and AOPP (Advanced Oxidation Protein Products)

  • Functional impairment of the glands of the reproductive tract [ Time Frame: 6 to 12 months after the end of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Presence of biochemical evidence indicating a functional impairment of the glands of the reproductive tract (markers of prostate, seminal vesicles, and epididymis to the seminal biochemistry)

  • Signs reflecting the sperm function [ Time Frame: 6 to 12 months after the end of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Presence of signs reflecting the sperm function (vitality, mobility, analysis of motion parameters by Computer Assisted Semen Analyzer(CASA))

Detailed Description:

The presence of leucospermia in an chronic inflammatory genital tract syndrome leads to an oxidative stress and alterations in sperm parameters. Inflammation also affect the glands of the genital tract. This can eventually leads to male infertility, long after the initial infection. But 10% of men who seek treatment for infertility have such a leucospermia, while it is a potentially treatable cause.

Main aim of this study: Search of development of an inflammatory genital tract syndrome in patients with urethritis proven and treated at 6 months after the end of treatment.This group of patients will be compared to a control group with no urethritis and no history of urogenital infection. Monocentric, prospective trial.

Primary endpoint: Seminal elastase value to 6 months after the end of treatment. (500ng/ml or greater)

Secondary objective:

  • Search for a genital inflammation in patients with urethritis proven and treated at 12 months after the end of treatment
  • Search for oxidative stress in patients with urethritis proven and treated at 6 and 12 months after the end of treatment
  • Study of the frequency of relapses infectious and / or passages at the stage of chronic infection after acute urethritis
  • Assessment of the parallel evolution of the quality of sperm in the two groups

Progress of research. Time frame Search :

  • Duration of inclusions: 12 months
  • Duration of patient follow-up: 12 months for control group, 14 months at most for patients taking into account the duration of treatment for urethritis which is 4 to 6 weeks
  • Total duration of the study: 26 months

Patients & Methods: French monocentric, prospective trial. 300 subjects are planned to be included for 150 subjects in each group
