Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the Flush Advanced+ dietary drink mix to reduce bothersome urinary tract symptoms compared to a placebo. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does the Flush Advanced+ dietary drink mix reduce the number of episodes bothersome urinary tract symptoms over the course of six months compared to a placebo?
  • Does the Flush Advanced+ dietary drink mix reduce the severity of bothersome urinary tract symptoms? Researchers will compare the Flush Advanced+ dietary drink mix to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to determine if the Flush Advanced+ dietary drink mix reduces the frequency and severity of bothersome urinary tract symptoms.

Participants will:

  • Take the Flush Advanced+ dietary drink mix or a placebo every day for approximately 6 months
  • Complete electronic daily diaries to capture any acute episodes of bothersome urinary tract symptoms
  • Complete electronic questionnaires every other week to capture any bothersome urinary tract symptoms and urinary health-related quality of life measures
  • Complete check-in phone calls with a research team member every other month
Read the detailed description

Urologic health problems can significantly impact quality of life in women and can affect overall well-being, social relationships, sexual relationships, and physical activity. While prescription antibiotics are commonly used to treat problems related to urologic health, many women seek alternatives to prescription medications and are interested in supporting their urinary tract health using dietary supplements.

Non-antibiotic approaches, such as D-mannose, cranberry, vitamins, and hydration support have demonstrated potential in mitigating bothersome urinary tract symptoms. D-mannose may prevent E. coli from adhering to the urinary tract, while Pacran® whole cranberry fruit powder has shown to significantly reduce the incidence of urologic health problems, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), as well as and the incidence of UTIs with urinary frequency and urgency symptoms. Adequate hydration and the balance of key electrolytes, including potassium, calcium, and magnesium, may promote the flushing of bacteria from the urinary tract.

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of Flush Advanced+, a dietary supplement drink mix containing D-mannose, Pacran® whole cranberry fruit powder, vitamins, and electrolytes, in improving urinary health outcomes. By targeting the mechanisms involved in UTI pathogenesis - such as bacterial adhesion and urinary pH regulation - this trial seeks to provide support for bothersome urinary tract symptom episodes that can significantly impact women's health and quality of life.

The purpose of this double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Flush Advanced+ in supporting urinary tract health for women aged 18-75. Flush Advanced+ is a commercially available product.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Urinary Tract Symptom Episode Incidence

    Total number of participant-reported episodes of bothersome urinary tract symptoms

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 6 months

  2. Impression of Improvement in Urinary Tract Health

    Overall impression of improvement in urinary tract health, as measured by the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at Month 2, Month 4, and Month 6. The PGIC is a 1-item, 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Very Much Improved) to 7 (Very Much Worse), where a higher score indicates worse outcomes.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Sex-Triggered Urinary Tract Symptom Episode Incidence

    Total number of participant-reported urinary tract symptom episodes that participants report were triggered by sexual activity

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 6 months

  2. Antibiotic Use for Urinary Tract Symptom Episodes

    Total number of courses of antibiotics taken for bothersome urinary tract symptom episodes

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 6 months

  3. Good versus Bad Urinary Health Days

    Ratio of self-reported 'good' vs. 'bad' vs. 'neither good nor bad' urinary health days assessed via daily diaries. The diary contained a 1-item, 3-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Bad) to 3 (Good), where a higher score indicates better outcomes.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 6 months

  4. Urinary Health-Related Quality of Life

    Change in quality of life as it relates to urinary tract health, as measured by an approved, modified version of the Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection Impact Questionnaire (RUTIIQ) every other week. The RUTIIQ is an 18-item questionnaire measured on a 11-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (Strongly Disagree) to 10 (Strongly Agree), where a higher score indicates better outcomes.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 6 months

  5. Product Experience

    Assess women's experience using the product, as measured by an internally-developed Product Experience Questionnaire (PEQ) monthly. The PEQ is 20-item questionnaire measured on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (Strongly Disagree) to 4 (Strongly Agree), where a higher score indicates a more favorable experience.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 6 months

  6. Symptom severity at the time of an acute bothersome urinary tract symptom episode

    Bothersome urinary tract symptom episode, as measured by the Urinary Tract Infection - Symptom Impairment Questionnaire (UTI-SIQ-8) and Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection Symptom Scale, section C (RUTISS-C.) The UTI-SIQ-8 is an 8-item questionnaire measured on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very strong), where a higher score indicates worse outcomes.. The RUTISS-C is an 11-item questionnaire measured on an 11-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (Not Present) to 10 (Extremely Severe), where a higher score indicates worse outcomes.

    Time frame: Daily for 7 days starting at the onset of bothersome urinary tract symptoms
