About this study

An exploratory, pre-market, open, prospective, interventional, clinical investigation at a limited number of centers for proof of concept of a new catheter.

In this proof of concept investigation, subjects experienced in using transanal irrigation (TAI) with a balloon catheter will be using study catheters at two occasions to primarily study if the catheter will stay in place during the water instillation when performing TAI.

Each subject will be followed during approximately one week, depending on the usual time between their TAI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Catheter stay in place

    Does the catheter stay in place during water instillation? Yes/No

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Bowel emptying performance

    Evaluation of bowel emptying performance: Subject's perception of emptying of bowel similar to regular use of TAI.

    Descriptive analysis of data from questionnaires at Visit 2 and 3 collected from subject's previous experience from using balloon catheter comparing it with experience of using two different sizes of study catheters during study.

    Question asked: "What is the subject's perception of emptying of bowel with the study catheter compared to their regular use with a balloon catheter?" Potential response: much worse, worse, same, better, much better

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Leakage

    Evaluation of leakage during water instillation: Subject's perception of leakage similar to regular use of TAI.

    Descriptive analysis of data from questionnaires at Visit 2 and 3 collected from subject's previous experience from using balloon catheter comparing it with experience of using two different sizes of study catheters during study.

    Question asked: "What is the subject's perception of leakage with the study catheter compared to their regular use with a balloon catheter?" Potential response: much worse, worse, same, better, much better

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transanal irrigation (TAI) in people with Bowel Dysfunction, run by Wellspect HealthCare at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Catheter stay in place (time frame: 1 week). 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?
