What participants receive

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

  • NitrofurantoinDrug

    Also called Macrobid

    Nitrofurantoin 100mg PO BID for 3 days post operatively following the placement of a sub-urethral sling for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence

  • PlaceboOther

    6 tablets to be taken 1 tablet PO BID. These tablets are identical to nitrofurantoin 100mg tablets.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Post-operative UTI Following the Placement of Sub-urethral Sling for the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Incidence of Post-operative UTI in Placebo Group

    The incidence of UTI in the placebo group was 32%.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. Incidence of Post-operative UTI in Treatment Group

    The incidence of UTI in the nitrofurantoin group was 17.6%.

    Measured: 6 weeks

A Phase 4 study testing Nitrofurantoin in people with Stress Incontinence, run by University of Missouri-Columbia at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Oct 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Incidence of Post-operative UTI Following the Placement of Sub-urethral Sling for the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00734968, which also lists 20 linked publications.

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 11 Oct 2016.
