About this study

Official title: Preventing Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections With α-D-mannose: a Prospective, Randomized, Double-blinded Placebo-controlled Trial

In this trial, women with history of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) will be followed over the course of 6 months. The women will be randomized either to D- Mannose or Placebo.

The primary objective of this study is to investigate if treatment with D-mannose reduces the risk for a UTI recurrence compared to treatment with Placebo.

H0: Women with history of recurrent UTIs treated with D-Mannose on average have the same number of recurrent UTIs over the course of 6 months compared to women treated with Placebo.

H1: Women with history of recurrent UTIs treated with D-Mannose on average have fewer recurrent UTIs over the course of 6 months compared to women treated with Placebo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Mannose and Lactose in people with Urinary Tract Infections, run by Kantonsspital Aarau at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2020. 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 Switzerland. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: not enough patients). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Frequency of UTIs (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT03497598, which also lists 4 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 2 Sep 2020.
