About this study

The purpose of this study is to prospectively compare a standard of care manual toileting protocol (e.g., "check and change" strategy) to toileting patterns recorded by the TENA Identifi system in identifying incontinence patterns and events, and, whether such data differentially improve a care planning strategy, nursing effort, product use, and wet-time for urinary incontinence.

Read the detailed description

Urinary incontinence in nursing homes influences resident dignity and quality of life. It also drives significant use of healthcare resources, including time and caregiver assistance, and costs of care. Various toileting programs are used to address urinary incontinence, including habit training, bladder training, prompted voiding, and check and change procedures. Clinical trials have found that 33% to 60% of residents either became continent or reduced the frequency of incontinence episodes to less than one per day with the introduction of a prompted voiding program.

There are several drawbacks to current programs. Manually recorded wet checks do not identify when incontinence occurs, only when wetness is detected, reducing the precision of time of incontinence to the window of time between checks. Nursing home staff create individualized care plans for each resident, based on standard check and change procedures, but poor precision in ascertaining timing and quantity of incontinence episodes can contribute to less frequent resident toileting or changing.

What participants receive

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

  • Care planning using TENA Identifi sensor wear dataOther

    All individuals in this arm will receive TENA Identifi sensor wear and will have data available for care planning.

  • Care planning without using TENA Identifi sensor wear dataOther

    All individuals in this arm will receive TENA Identifi sensor wear but the sensor wear data will not be used for care planning.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Care planning using TENA Identifi sensor wear data and Care planning without using TENA Identifi sensor wear data in people with Urinary Incontinence, run by Insight Therapeutics, LLC at 5 sites 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 5 inclusion and 9 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 26 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jul 2019). 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?

Wet Events Per 24 Hours (time frame: 6 days). 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 NCT03209570, which also lists 2 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 26 Jul 2019.
