PMCF Investigation of MODULITH® SLX-F2 With StorM-Track in Patients With Kidney Stones
Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up Investigation of MODULITH® SLX-F2 With StorM-Track in Patients With Kidney Stones - A Confirmatory Parallel-Group, Randomized Controlled Trial
Storz Medical AG
126 participants
Dec 11, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive standard treatment for kidney stones. This study will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of ESWL using MODULITH® SLX-F2 with stone tracking, compared to MODULITH® SLX-F2 without stone tracking, in adult patients with kidney stones, as measured by stone-free status.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria3
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Single kidney stone (6 - 15 mm) in the target kidney
- Stone density assessed by Hounsfield unit value (HU) ≤ 1,200 HU
Exclusion Criteria23
- BMI \> 29.9
- Target stone that cannot be localised
- Multiple kidney stones in the target kidney
- Stones with a density value of \> 1,200 HU
- Skin to stone distance (SSD) \> 160 mm
- The presence of obstructions, malformations or other factors preventing targeting or passing of the stone, including but not limited to the following:
- Skeletal malformations and obesity, preventing targeting of the stone
- Malignant tumour in the shockwave path
- Arterial aneurysm or calcium deposits, or thrombosis in shockwave path
- Brain, spinal column or air-filled tissue, especially the lungs, in the shockwave path
- Obstruction distal to the stone (as this would hinder the passage of fragments through collecting system or ureter)
- Any disease/medical condition, prior or concomitant medication/treatment/intervention, or implant that may affect this clinical investigation, and/or is contraindicated for the IMD, including but not limited to the following:
- Severe nephrocalcinosis
- Uncontrolled urinary tract infection
- Coagulation disorders and bleeding diathesis, not compensated according to urological and hemostaseological guidelines
- Anticoagulation or platelet inhibition therapy, not bridged according to urological and hemostaseological guidelines
- Uncontrolled hypertension
- Blood pressure \> 180/100
- Active cardiac implants that are not authorized for use with ESWL
- Pancreatitis
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
- Administration of contrast agents containing gases for ultrasound diagnostics less than 24 hours before treatment.
- Pregnancy

Interventions
Starting ESWL on a low energy setting with stepwise ramping and at a frequency of 1.0 or 1.5 Hz. Up to a maximum of 3'500 shockwaves unless there is no stone visible in X-ray imaging. If fragments \> 4mm remain after the first ESWL treatment, a 2nd ESWL will be performed.
Same treatment protocol as for the intervention group. If fragments \> 4mm remain after the first ESWL treatment, a 2nd ESWL will be performed.
