Filter by:Randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of a probiotic mixture of Lactobacillus plantarum on recurrent urinary tract infections in women. Secondary outcomes comprise variation in vaginal/perianal microbiota, product tolerability, safety and consumer's satisfaction with the product.
This study is a multicenter, randomized controlled study, with the urinary tract infection rate at the time of catheter insertion for 1 week as the primary end point. By comparing the clinical safety and effectiveness of two kinds of urethral catheters, to evaluate the clinical application effect of one kind of urethral catheters.
Cystitis is the most frequent reason for women to visit their general practitioner. More than 600.000 women suffer from urinary tract infections in The Netherlands each year. Currently, the 1st choice treatment for uncomplicated cystitis is nitrofurantoin (NIT) for 5 days. The second choice is 3 gram fosfomycin-trometamol (FT) in a single dose. FT is increasingly prescribed because it has few side-effects and it has a patient-friendly dosing scheme. Previous research did not show significant difference in efficacy between fosfomycin and nitrofurantoin, but a clinical trial from 2018 claims a single dose of FT might be inferior to 5 days of nitrofurantoin. Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic research suggests that a single dose of FT may be insufficient to cure cystitis. Overall, it remains unknown whether a single gift of FT is as efficacious as 5 days of nitrofurantoin for uncomplicated cystitis with regard to clinical cure and if an additional gift of FT would overcome this. A clinical trial is therefore warranted. Objective: To investigate the comparative effectiveness and side-effects of 5 days of nitrofurantoin, single dose FT, and extended use of FT in uncomplicated cystitis in primary care. Study design: An open-label randomized non-inferiority / superiority study with 3 arms. Study population: 777 non-pregnant women with symptoms of uncomplicated cystitis, with 259 subjects in each study arm. Intervention: (A) FT in a single dose of 3000mg on day 1; (B) extended dosing of 3000mg FT on day 1 and 3 (C) nitrofurantoin 100mg bid (slow release) for 5 days. Main study parameters/endpoints: primary: days of absence of cystitis symptoms within 28 days. Secondary: clinical failure on day 28, microbiological failure on day 28, incidence of side-effects, cost-effectiveness Burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: A potential risk of participation is that the treatment arm to which the patient is allocated is either less efficacious, has more adverse events or higher recurrence rate than the other treatment arms. However, NIT and FT are both frequently used for urinary tract infections and considered safe and effective compounds for uncomplicated cystitis. According to previous studies, a second dose of FT is well tolerated. The potential risks of participation on severe adverse events is expected to be negligible as the risk of severe clinical failure after cystitis treatment is only 1% according to previous studies and differences between NIT and FT have not been observed previously. A potential benefit of participating to this study is that a more patient friendly treatment scheme is equally effective. For future patients the guidelines could be improved and become more patient-friendly. The burden of participation is considered low. Study participants need to complete a short daily questionnaire on a mobile application up to 28 days.
The primary objective is to determine if polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (UTIP™) is more sensitive in identifying urinary tract infections (UTI's) than standard urine cultures.
This is a retrospectively-controlled clinical trial that will examine the rate of positive UTI cases among pediatrics entered into the Emergency Department and whose urine is withdrawn using the PedSCath Pediatric Sampling Catheter. The rate of postive UTI will be compared against the control population, whose urine withdrawal would have been performed with Standard of Care devices.
This study will investigate the effects of cranberry and quillaja capsules on symptoms of uncomplicated urinary tract infections.
This is a phase I/II trial designed to evaluate bacteriophage therapy in patients with urinary tract infections.
Researchers are using Myocardial performance index (MPI) to assess fetal cardiac function before, during, and after fetal surgery in order to gain more knowledge about fetal cardiac function in high risk pregnancies and the relationship to outcomes of fetal surgical interventions.
To determine the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine Uromune in Canadian women with recurrent urinary tract infection.
This is a virtual study which will invite females over the age of 18 who have had 2 or more UTIs in the past 6 months to participate. The investigators are looking at the impact of a daily dietary supplement with the recurrence of UTIs. Participants will be blinded and randomized randomized into the Control Group or Groups 1 or 2. Control Group will receive a Placebo Drink-Mix and Placebo Capsules. Group 1 will receive the Uqora Drink-Mix and Placebo Capsules. Group 2 will receive the Uqora Drink-Mix and Uqora Capsules. Each group will receive 180 day supply of the products.
