About this study

Official title: The Effect of Surface Acoustic Waves on the Prevention of Bacterial Colonization in Longterm Indwelling Urinary Catheters

This is a double blinded rct to evaluate the effect of the UroShield SAW transducer on preventing bacterial colonization in longterm indwelling catheters. The duration of the trial is 30 days. The investigator will be quantifying the number of bacterial colonies in the urinary catheter and in the bladder in both the treatment and control group.

Read the detailed description

This is a double blinded Randomized controoled trial of 30 days duration. The trial device is the Uroshield, SAW device which is an externally applied device attached to the external portion of the urinary catheter.

Subjects will be randomized to a control group and the treatment group. The control group will receive standard of care for the care of indwelling urinary catheters, while being attached to a sham UroShield device. The treatment group will receive the same standard of care treatment but will be attached to an active UroShield SAW device.

At baseline and again at 30 days, both the catheter and retained urine from the bladder will be evaluated for the number of live colonies. These numbers will be evaluated to see if there is a difference between the active and sham devices.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • UroShieldDevice

    Also called Surface Acoustic Wave Actuator

    The UroShield is an externally applied acoustic actuator which generates surface acoustic waves and transmits them along the length of the catheter. The device does not come in direct contact with the subjects.

Study groups in NCT03090373
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control GroupSham comparatorAt catheter replacement subjects will have a sham UroShield device attached to the external portion of the catheter and have it activated for 30 days. Standard of care for the upkeep and cleanliness of the catheter will be adhered to. At both the baseline and at the conclusion of 30 days, the distal end of the catheter will be collected as well as a sample of retained urine from the bladder and these samples will be evaluated for bacterial colonization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing UroShield in people with Baacterial Colonization and Urinary Tract Infections, run by Rosenblum, Jonathan I., DPM at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bacterial Colonization (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Mar 2017.
