About this study
Official title: Continence Care Registry (ConCaRe™)
This observational research study aims to build a multinational electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) registry of adult end users in outpatient and community settings using intermittent catheter(s) to void via the urethra to manage urinary retention and incomplete bladder emptying. Research participants will be asked to self-report on various attributes of their currently prescribed intermittent catheters and other various aspects of using an intermittent catheter.
Read the detailed description
This observational research study aims to build a multinational ePRO registry of adult end users in outpatient and community settings using intermittent catheter(s) to void via the urethra to manage urinary retention and incomplete bladder emptying. Research resulting from data generated from an ePRO registry will factor in end user perspectives on intermittent catheterization habits and behaviors and intermittent catheter performance to inform and guide healthcare providers, end users, and caregivers in making the most informed healthcare decisions regarding intermittent catheterization. Research participants will be asked to self-report on various attributes of their currently prescribed intermittent catheters and various aspects of habits and behaviors, including health-related quality of life, of using an intermittent catheter.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Standard of Care | Individuals using an intermittent catheter to void urine through the urethra. Participants use their currently prescribed intermittent catheter per their clinician's standard of care. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Creation of longitudinal continence care ePRO-based, direct-to-consumer registry
To build a longitudinal continence care ePRO-based, direct-to-consumer registry addressing overall intermittent self-catheterization product satisfaction, QoL, healthcare resource utilization associated with urinary symptoms, urinary tract infections and other complications including burden of ISC over time, and end-user product preference factors.
Measured: 5 years
Secondary outcomes (1)
Identification of intermittent self-catheterization habits and behaviors
To identify intermittent self-catheterization habits and behaviors, and enable meaningful intermittent catheter comparisons, including but not limited to product-specific outcomes related to urinary symptoms associated with ISC, frequency of UTI and other complications over time, and product satisfaction over time.
Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Neurogenic Bladder and Non-Neurogenic Bladder, run by Hollister Incorporated 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 7 inclusion and 3 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2026. 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. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Creation of longitudinal continence care ePRO-based, direct-to-consumer registry (time frame: 5 years). 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 NCT04924569, which also lists 9 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 8 May 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
