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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

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

Summary

This study tests whether flushing catheters with special solutions (Uro-Tainer with citric acid or polihexanide) can reduce blockages and infections compared to standard saline. About 70 adults with permanent catheters who have had blockages before will take part. The goal is to see if these flushes cut down on catheter changes, improve quality of life, and save money.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Uro-Tainer polihexanide and Uro-Tainer citric acid solutions
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, cost-effective way to prevent catheter blockages and infections, reducing the need for frequent catheter changes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The solutions might not work better than standard saline, and some people may experience irritation or discomfort.

Inclusion Criteria: Citizen not previously flushed * A permanent catheter (suprapubic and urethral) * Male and female \> 18 years of age * Acute or previous catheter stop because of blocking or incrustations. * The pilot project does not include clogging due to incrustations * Voluntary consent to participate in the study, following a full explanation of the nature and purpose of the study, by signing the informed consent form approved by the Ethics Committee (EC) before all evaluations. Citizen previously flushed with NaCl or UroTainer® * A permanent catheter (suprapubic and urethral) * Male and female \> 18 years of age * Willingness to take a rinse break for a minimum of 4 weeks. In the event of 2 catheter stops during the flushing break, assessed on the basis of an urgent need for catheter flushing with NaCl or catheter change, the citizen can be included. * The pilot project does not include clogging due to incrustations * If there is no catheter stop during the rinsing break, the citizen will continue without rinsing until a possible catheter stop. * Voluntary consent to participate in the study, following a full explanation of the nature and purpose of the study, by signing the informed consent form approved by the Ethics Committee (EC) before all evaluations. Exclusion Criteria: * Urothelial cancer * Bladder and kidney stones requiring treatment * Age \< 18 years of age * Pregnant and / or breastfeeding women * Not able to understand Danish * Dementia, where relatives can / will not give consent * Simultaneous participation in another interventional clinical trial (drugs or medical devices studies)
