Study summary

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.

Inclusion criteria

    1. Males > 22 years old diagnosed with chronic Urinary Retention 2. Must be clinically suitable and capable of safely managing bladder using an intermittent voiding or indwelling catheter strategy:

      1. Must have stable urinary management history as determined by the Principal Investigator OR
      2. Must have urodynamic profile suitable for the Connected Catheter (including bladder capacity ≥ 200mL without uninhibited bladder contractions) 3. Subject's lower urinary tract anatomy must fall within the ranges serviceable by the Connected Catheter device, as specified in the Device Instructions For Use.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

    1. Active symptomatic urinary tract infection, as defined in this clinical investigation plan (CIP)/protocol (subjects may receive the device after their UTI has been treated) 2. Significant risk profile or recent history of urethral stricture (e.g., stricture within past 90 days) 3. Significant risk profile or recent history of (uncontrolled) autonomic dysreflexia 4. Significant intermittent urinary incontinence (between catheterizations) 5. Uninhibited bladder contractions and/or Vesicoureteral reflux that is not reliably controlled with medication or alternate therapy (e.g., Botox injection)

      1. Active symptomatic urinary tract infection, as defined in this clinical investigation plan (CIP)/protocol (subjects may receive the device after their UTI has been treated)
      2. Significant risk profile or recent history of urethral stricture (e.g., stricture within past 90 days)
      3. Significant risk profile or recent history of clinically significant (uncontrolled) autonomic dysreflexia
      4. Significant intermittent urinary incontinence (between catheterizations)
      5. Uninhibited bladder contractions and/or Vesicoureteral reflux that is not reliably controlled with medication or alternate therapy (e.g., Botox injection)
      6. Pre-existing urinary pathologies and/or morphological abnormalities of the lower urinary tract or bladder (assessed during in-depth medical screening, including cystoscopy and urine analysis)

        1. Urinary tract inflammation or neoplasm
        2. Urinary fistula
        3. Bladder diverticulum (outpouching) > 5cm in size
        4. Chronic pyelonephritis (secondary to upper urinary tract infection(s) within past 6 months)
        5. Impaired kidney function or renal failure
        6. Active gross hematuria
        7. Active urethritis
        8. Bladder stones
      7. Dependence on an electro-magnetic medical implant (e.g., cardiac pacemaker or implanted drug pump) or external device
      8. Any unsuitable comorbidities as determined by the Principal Investigator or complications related to use of certain medications
      9. Any physical or cognitive impairments that diminish the subject's ability to follow directions or otherwise safely use the Connected Catheter System
      10. Catheter Assessment Tool screening yields unacceptable results
      11. Vulnerable population such as inmates or developmentally delayed adults
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Interventions

  • DeviceConnected Catheter

    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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  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.

    Time frame: 4 weeks

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 Feb 26, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
