Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of administering glycosaminoglycan (GAG) therapy, iAluRil®, intravesically in individuals with acute spinal cord injury (SCI), commencing within the first ten days of injury, to prevent early urinary tract infections.


Clinical Trial Description

iAluRil®, listed as a medical device on the Australian Therapeutic Goods Registry (ATGR), contains both hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulphate. This trial utilises iAluRil® for the same clinical indication as it is listed for on the ATGR, i.e. to re-establish the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layers of the urothelial vesical tissue in cases in which their loss can cause problems, such as recurrent urinary tract infection in neurologically intact populations, but in a specific and vulnerable patient population (acute SCI). The trial will demonstrate the safety and feasibility of providing a series of iAluRil® treatments in early acute SCI, and provide an indication of effectiveness to prevent early urinary tract infections (compared to current standard infection control), informing researchers about the suitability of conducting a large randomised controlled clinical trial with this intervention. An 'Intervention post-UTI' arm for eligible inpatients and outpatients with SCI who have significant recurrent UTIs, will allow equivalent data collection and observations, informing researchers about a trial to reduce UTI recurrence during sub-acute/chronic SCI. Additionally, these patients will self-administer iAluRil® treatments providing data on the feasibility of SCI patients self-administering iAluRil® treatments. ;
