Study of the Elevate Anterior and Apical Prolapse Repair System Compared to Native Tissue Repair for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT02121977
Purpose
The aim of this study is to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Elevate® Anterior
and Apical Prolapse Repair System for repair of anterior/apical pelvic organ prolapse in a
controlled, post-market cohort study.

Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
Subject is female Subject is at least 18 years of age
Subject must have documented diagnosis of anterior or anterior and apical vaginal prolapse
with leading edge of pelvic organ prolapse at or beyond the hymen. At or beyond the hymen
is defined as POP-Q scores of Ba ≥ 0; or Ba ≥ 0 and C ≥ -1/2 TVL (for a multi-compartment
anterior prolapse that includes the apical compartment)
Subject reports a bothersome bulge they can see or feel per PFDI-20, question 3, response
of 2 or higher (i.e., responses of "somewhat", "moderately", or "quite a bit")
Subject or subject's legally authorized representative is willing to provide written
informed consent
Subject is willing and able to comply with the follow-up regimen
Exclusion Criteria:
Subject is pregnant or intends to become pregnant during the study

untreated urinary tract infection (UTI) or tissue necrosis Subject has history of pelvic
organ cancer (e.g. uterine, ovarian, bladder, or cervical)
Subject has history of pelvic organ cancer (e.g. uterine, ovarian, bladder, or cervical)
Subject has had prior or is currently undergoing radiation, laser therapy, or chemotherapy
in the pelvic area
Subject has taken systemic steroids (within the last month), or immunosuppressive or
immunomodulatory treatment (within the last 3 months)
Subject has systemic connective tissue disease (e.g. scleroderma, systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE), Marfan's syndrome, Ehlers Danhlos, collagenosis, polymyositis or
polymyalgia rheumatica)
Subject has chronic systemic pain that includes the pelvic area or chronic focal pain that
involves the pelvis
Subject has uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM)
Subject has a known neurologic or medical condition affecting bladder function (e.g.,
multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury or stroke with residual neurologic deficit)
Subject is seeking obliterative vaginal surgery as treatment for pelvic organ prolapse
(colpocleisis)
Subject is not able to conform to the modified dorsal lithotomy position
Subject is currently participating in or plans to participate in another device or drug
study during this study
Subject has a known sensitivity to polypropylene
Subject has had previous prolapse repair with mesh in the target compartment
Subject is planning to undergo a concomitant repair with use of mesh in the non-target
compartment
