About this study

Official title: Effect of Active Drain Line Clearance With or Without Silver on Catheter-Associated Bacteriuria (The CAB Study)

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are the most common nosocomial infections in critically ill patients and are responsible for high morbidity rates, increased hospital stays and associated costs.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether active drain line clearance by the Accuryn Monitoring System reduces the incidence of CAUTI in hospitalized patients requiring catheters.

Read the detailed description

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common healthcare associated infection (HAI) acquired in hospitals and is estimated to account for approximately 13% of hospital infections in the United States, of which 75% are associated with indwelling urinary catheters. It is estimated that between 12-16% adult inpatients will receive an indwelling urinary catheter during their hospital stay. The rate of catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI) are highest in burn ICUs, followed by inpatient medical wards and neurosurgical ICUs.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether active drain line clearance by the Accuryn Monitoring System reduces the incidence of bacteriuria and/or CAUTI in patients requiring catheters for more than 72 hours. This study will also evaluate the efficacy in reducing bacteriuria of the Accuryn silver fabricated silicone catheters.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in percentage of catheter-associated bacteriuria

    To study the difference in rate of catheter-associated bacteriuria between SOC catheters and Accuryn silicone or Accuryn silver-doped catheters with active drain line clearance.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of asymptomatic (ASB) and symptomatic (CAUTI) bacteriuria

    To study the incidence and progression of asymptomatic bacteriuria and CAUTI in patients with prolonged foley catheters for greater than 72 hours.

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Time to Bacteriuria (ASB and CAUTI)

    To study the progression of asymptomatic bacteriuria and CAUTI in patients with prolonged foley catheters for greater than 72 hours.

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Urine Culture Comparisons

    To study the correlation between patient urine cultures and cultures taken from the Foley (Foley tip, urine sampled from collection bag).

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing DLC Group and DLCS Group in people with Critical Illness and Burns, run by Potrero Medical.

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 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Difference in percentage of catheter-associated bacteriuria (time frame: 30 days). 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 29 Jan 2020.
