Vibrating device aims to restore bladder control in cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT07662824
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a device called Flyte can help improve urinary incontinence in women who had radiation therapy for endometrial or cervical cancer. The Flyte device is used at home and delivers gentle vibrations while the user does Kegel exercises. The study will check if the device is safe, easy to use, and whether it improves bladder control and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Flyte device (transvaginal mechanotherapy)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a convenient, at-home option to ease urinary incontinence and improve quality of life for cancer survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply to everyone. The device may cause discomfort or fail to improve symptoms.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female patients who have received conventionally fractioned adjuvant or primary pelvic radiation therapy for endometrial or cervical cancer ≥ 3 months prior to registration * Age ≥ 21 years at enrollment * English speaking * Demonstrates understanding of the study protocol and has signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF) * Has a clinical diagnosis of urinary incontinence (stress urinary incontinence \[SUI\], urge urinary incontinence \[UUI\], mixed) or overactive bladder (OAB) * Ability to contract the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) without pain * Ability to tolerate size 6 vaginal dilator * Internet access * Access to an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet with capabilities to download and use the Flyte app * Willing and able to participate in follow-up Exclusion Criteria: * Participation in another clinical study which may interfere with study requirements * Currently receiving active cancer directed therapy (i.e., cytotoxic chemotherapy) in post hysterectomy patients * Completion of radiation therapy or surgery within 3 months of enrollment * Life expectancy is less than six months in the opinion of the investigator * Inability to tolerate insertion of the intravaginal wand. This will be recorded to support the usability of Flyte secondary endpoint * Suspected vesicovaginal or colovaginal fistula * Physical limitations that impede the patient's ability to participate (e.g., ability to grasp the wand and insert it and ability to turn on the Flyte controller unit) * Acute infection or hematuria * Inability to contract the PFMs or pain with contraction, as confirmed with intravaginal exam * Impaired cognitive function or neurologic conditions
