What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looked at whether using a condom catheter instead of a standard indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) lowers the chance of delirium in men aged 70+ who had a stroke. Delirium is a sudden confused state that can happen after a stroke. The trial planned to compare two groups, but it was stopped early, so the results are limited.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
condom catheter
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple change in hospital practice to lower delirium rates in older male stroke patients.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated early with only 50 participants, so results may be inconclusive. It only included men over 70, so findings may not apply to others.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

50 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Apr 2021

Finished

Mar 2023

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

70 years and older

Sex

Male participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Inclusion Criteria * Male gender * Age ≥ 70 years * Treated with recanalization therapy and therefore receiving an IUC * Patient is able to provide written informed consent. If patient is aphasic and not in a position to provide written informed consent after the stroke, a relative or a legal guardian can provide information of the presumed will of the patient. Inclusion of this patient is possible if the patient will give basic informed consent as soon as he is able to and after a maximum of seven days after enrollment. As delirium is associated with stroke severity it is necessary to include these patients, otherwise the incidence of delirium will be too low. Exclusion Criteria: * Delirium at admission * Need for mechanical ventilation \> 48h * Presence of an IUC before admission
