NCT ID NCT07184827

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether the drug U101 (pentosan polysulfate sodium) can prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women aged 20 to 75. About 348 women with a history of frequent UTIs will take either U101 or a placebo daily for 24 weeks. Researchers will track how many women stay infection-free and whether their quality of life improves.
