About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of Connected Catheter Wireless Urinary Prosthesis for Management of Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and essential performance of the Connected Catheter System in males with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD), both in an acute clinical setting, and during and extended period (up to 29 days) of home use.

Read the detailed description

The Connected Catheter (C2P) is a replaceable urinary prosthesis that is intended for use in male patients 18 years of age or older who have impaired bladder emptying due to neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction, and who are capable of operating the device in accordance with the provided instructions for use, or who have trained caregivers capable of doing the same. The device must be replaced every 29 days

What participants receive

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

  • Connected CatheterDevice

    The Connected Catheter is a fully internal, urethral-indwelling urinary prosthesis designed for improved bladder management in males with urinary retention disorders requiring catheterization, including neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD - e.g. due to spinal cord injury). The CoCath is a sterile, single-extended-use device that resides fully internally to the male lower urinary tract (urethra + bladder neck) for an intended service life of up to 29 days per Catheter.

What is being measured

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

  1. Freedom from genito-urinary injury/trauma

    Improved bladder management without injury or trauma to genito-urinary tract

    Measured: 29 Days

  2. Successful Acute Performance- I

    To evaluate successful retention of Connected Catheter and Void

    Measured: On the day of Connected Catheter Insertion

  3. Successful Acute Performance -II

    To evaluate successful bladder voiding with Connected Catheter

    Measured: On the day of Connected Catheter Insertion

  4. Successful Acute Performance- III

    To evaluate successful removal of Connected Catheter

    Measured: On the day of Connected Catheter Insertion

  5. Successful Acute Performance- IV

    To evaluate successful post-void sealing of Connected Catheter Valve

    Measured: On the day of Connected Catheter Insertion

  6. Successful Home-Use Performance

    Successful Home-Use using same measures as Acute Performance

    Measured: 29 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Connected Catheter in people with Urinary Bladder, Neurogenic, run by Spinal Singularity at 2 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 6 inclusion and 17 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 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Freedom from genito-urinary injury/trauma (time frame: 29 Days). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Sep 2018.
