Study summary

A randomized, open label, controlled, parallel group study to investigate difference between regional standard procedure and a novel modified procedure (using an additional novel device to facilitate gel installation) for changing long-term indwelling urinary catheters.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, open label, controlled, parallel group study, which comprises one visit that includes: assessment for eligibility, randomization to one of two treatment alternatives, followed by the actual intervention and evaluation of outcomes.

The interventions are either change of catheter according to the regional standard procedure (the comparator group) or change of catheter with the additional use of the novel device to facilitate gel instillation and a slightly modified procedure (the experimental group).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • The patient has an indwelling catheter and a primary diagnosis that justify continued catheter use
  • The patient provides prior to any study specific procedures
  • The patient is considered to benefit from participation in the clinical study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The patient do not consent to participate in the study
  • Trauma to urethra or bladder
  • Infection to urethra or bladder
  • Other diagnosis that contraindicates participation in the clinical study as judged by the responsible physician
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2016 to primary completion in May 2017, 13 months.

Of 70 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Urinary Retention, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 41. This study's 13 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 82 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 37.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 20, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
