Study summary

The goal is to confirm, that the newly developed coating is non-inferior to the comparator with respect to the overall discomfort of the catheterisation (assessed by participant).

Participants will attend 3 study site visits and will be catheterised by a HCP at visit 1 and 2 with one of the two catheters in randomisation order. Urine samples will be collected pre- and post catheterisation for assessments.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to confirm that the newly developed investigational coating is non-inferior to the comparator coating with respect to the overall discomfort of catheterisation.

The investigational device is a ready-to-use, sterile, hydrophilic-coated Nelaton male catheter for intermittent catheterisation and based on the standard SpeediCath® male intermittent catheter with a difference in the composition on the coating.

The study is a double-blinded, randomized, crossover study including 32 randomized healthy male volunteers. The total study duration for the individual subject will be between 4-21 days and consists of 3 site visits V0, V1 and V2, and V0 andV1 can be combined

At V1 and V2 the subjects will be catheterized in a hospital setting by a health care professional, with one of the two catheters in a randomized order. Subject will be asked to assess the overall discomfort of the catheterisation on VAS.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The Overall Discomfort During Catheterization Was Measured by VAS on a 10 cm Scale Ranging From "no Discomfort" (0 cm) to "Worst Possible Discomfort" (10 cm) Caused by the Catheter.

    This endpoint was assessed by the subject immediately after completed catheterization, by setting a vertical line to indicate their experience of the overall catheterization.

    Time frame: Immediately after the procedure
