NCT ID NCT06480227

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two procedures for stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine with cough, sneeze, or exercise) in 358 women. One group gets a bulking agent injection to thicken the urethra lining; the other gets a small mesh sling to support the urethra. The goal is to see which provides more relief at 12 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Bulkamid Transurethral Bulking Agent (injection) and Solyx Single-Incision Sling (mesh device)

What this could lead to

If this trial succeeds, it could show which of two minimally invasive procedures works better for stress urinary incontinence, helping women choose the most effective treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a comparative effectiveness trial, not a cure. Both procedures have risks like infection, pain, or failure, and results may not apply to all women.
