Rapid urine test could speed up UTI diagnosis and antibiotic selection
NCT ID NCT07784829
First seen Aug 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing a new rapid urine test called Jiddu that aims to quickly identify urinary tract infections (UTIs) and determine which antibiotics will work best. The study involves 100 adults with neurogenic bladder who use catheters and suspect they have a UTI. Participants provide urine samples that are analyzed using both standard methods and the experimental Jiddu device. The goal is to see if Jiddu can accurately detect UTIs and guide antibiotic treatment, potentially leading to faster and more targeted therapy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Jiddu platform, a microfluidic device that rapidly tests urine for bacteria and antibiotic susceptibility
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a faster, more accurate way to diagnose UTIs and choose effective antibiotics, reducing the need for broad-spectrum drugs and improving care for catheter users.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage diagnostic trial with a relatively small sample size. The test's accuracy and clinical utility are not yet proven, and it may not outperform standard culture methods in real-world settings.
