What lurks in urine? a biobank aims to decode Catheter-Related infections
NCT ID NCT07769606
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study collects urine samples from adults who use intermittent catheters, both during urinary tract infections (UTIs) and during symptom-free periods. The goal is to explore basic urine characteristics, like bacterial counts, to better understand UTIs in this group. No treatment or device is being tested, and participants continue their usual care. The samples are stored in a research biobank for future analysis.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- urine sample collection
- What this could lead to
- Could improve understanding of urinary tract infections in catheter users, potentially guiding better prevention or treatment strategies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational biobank study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test any therapy. Results may not lead to immediate clinical changes.
