About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Safety and Clinical Performance of the Connected Catheter - Wireless Urinary Prosthesis for Management of Chronic Urinary Retention

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Connected Catheter in males with chronic Urinary Retention, both in a clinical setting and an extended period of home use.

The Connected Catheter is a fully internal, urethral indwelling urinary prosthesis designed for improved bladder management in males with urinary retention disorders requiring catheterization. It is a sterile, extended-use device that resides fully internally to the male lower urinary tract for an intended use life of up to 7 days per catheter.

Read the detailed description

UroDev Medical has developed the Connected Catheter System to address several drawbacks of urinary catheters. The Connected Catheter is fully internal, indwelling urinary prosthesis designed for improved bladder management in males with urinary retention disorders requiring catheterization. Each subject will use the Connected Catheter for up to 4 weeks including weekly device exchange appointments. Additionally, weekly follow-up will occur for 14 days following the final appointment after the subject discontinues use of study device and reverts to his original catheter.

What participants receive

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

  • Connected CatheterDevice

    The Connected Catheter System is a replaceable wireless urinary prosthesis that is indicated for bladder emptying in male patients who have impaired bladder emptying due to chronic Urinary Retention. The Connected Catheter resides fully internally in the male lower urinary tract (urethra and bladder neck) and remains in place for up to 7 days before removal.

Connected Catheter UsersExperimentalDevice: Connected Urinary Catheter Patients will use the Connected Catheter to empty the bladder during the course of treatment.
Receives: Device: Connected Catheter

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Successful Bladder Emptying Using Connected Catheter

    PVR Responder Rate, defined as either:

    • Less than or equal to 50mL OR
    • Equal to or less than their baseline PVR when using SOC catheters

    The subject responder rate, R, is estimated as the proportion of subjects who are classified as responders.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Connected Catheter in people with Urinary Retention and Chronic, run by Spinal Singularity at 5 sites 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 3 inclusion and 20 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor decision). 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?

Successful Bladder Emptying Using Connected Catheter (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 26 Feb 2024.
