15 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a randomized comparative trial investigating two different catheter management strategies among post-gynecologic surgery patients. Women undergoing any benign gynecologic surgery wherein they are anticipated to stay at least overnight and in whom no prolapse or urinary tract surgery was concurrently performed, will be randomly assigned to either conventional urinary catheter care removal on post-operative day 1 or same day surgery urinary catheter removal. Patient satisfaction and lower urinary tract symptoms including urine culture and antibiotic use will be tracked across both cohorts over the 2 weeks following the index surgery.
To the investigators knowledge there is no research data published to date regarding the lower urinary tract symptoms in women with leiomyomas. The primary aims of this study are: 1. To determine prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms in patients who present for care for symptomatic leiomyomata. 2. To compare change in lower urinary tract symptoms within treatment groups measured by the UDI-6 total before and at six months after three common treatments for symptomatic uterine fibroids including: hysterectomy, myomectomy, or uterine artery embolization. The study proposed here will hopefully answer the question if one particular therapy is appropriate to treat fibroids and relieve lower urinary tract symptoms.
This trial evaluated how effective and safe Cipro XR was in treating female patients with signs and symptoms of a lower urinary tract infections. After 3 days of treatment, patients were evaluated to determine if signs/symptoms disappeared and the infecting bacteria was eliminated.
This is a prospective, Phase 4, open label, multi-center study of the clinical and microbiologic efficacy of ciprofloxacin for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections in adult women.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 12-month study to determine the effectiveness of D-mannose (2g daily) supplementation in rUTI (recurrent urinary tract infection) prevention in post-menopausal women.
Researchers are using Myocardial performance index (MPI) to assess fetal cardiac function before, during, and after fetal surgery in order to gain more knowledge about fetal cardiac function in high risk pregnancies and the relationship to outcomes of fetal surgical interventions.
Urine culture and microscopic urinalysis will be compared between 2 collection methods: PEEZY midstream urine collection, and urethral catheter collection.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, efficacy (clinical and microbiological), pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of GSK2251052 and to assess whether it would be a suitable antibiotic for the treatment for febrile lower cUTI and pyelonephritis(complicated and uncomplicated). GSK2251052 will be compared to imipenem-cilastatin, which is an antibiotic commonly used to treat serious cUTI infections. GSK2251052 has a spectrum of microbiological activity that includes pathogens responsible for cUTI.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the microbes (bacteria) that live in the vagina and the bladder. The investigators are doing this research study to understand the relationship between microbes (the microbiome) and the occurrence of urinary tract infection following surgical removal of the uterus and pelvic organ prolapse repair. The investigators expect Lactobacillus and Gardnerella will be the dominant organisms for most women. Non-Lactobacillus dominant microbiome communities will be more common in women who ultimately develop postoperative urinary tract infection.
Study LBx-1001 is a multi-center randomized, double-blind study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of LBP-EC01 in patients with indwelling urinary catheters, or requiring intermittent catheterization, and/or patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli). This study population has been selected because LBP-EC01 is a phage cocktail where active bacterial host engagement is required to allow for amplification of the phage and evaluation of the safety and PK of the phage cocktail. Eligible patients will require confirmation of colonization with a urine sample taken within 10 days of randomization that cultures contain ≥10\^3 E. coli colony forming unit (CFU)/mL, without the patient having clinical signs or symptoms of an active urinary tract infection (UTI) requiring antibiotic treatment. Patients should have E. coli as the primary colonizing bacteria and must not have a secondary bacterial colonization at levels equal to or greater than that seen from E. coli.
This study will explore the application of placing heparin into the bladder via a catheter to decrease postoperative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and urinary tract infection (UTI) symptoms such as urinary frequency, urinary urgency, pain with urination, or difficulty voiding following hysterectomy (surgically removing the uterus). The investigators hypothesize that heparin bladder instillations will reduce LUTS, UTI symptoms, and improve patient satisfaction following hysterectomy.
The aim of this study is to promote healthy bladder behaviors among school children. We hypothesize that a combination of bladder health education and awareness events, additional resources such as a water station to support healthy bladder behaviors, and tailored changes to classroom bathroom policies can promote healthy bladder behaviors among school children.
Understudied drugs will be administered to children per standard of care as prescribed by their treating caregiver and only biological sample collection during the time of drug administration will be involved. A total of approximately 7000 children aged \<21 years who are receiving these drugs for standard of care will be enrolled and will be followed for up a maximum of 90 days. The goal of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of understudied drugs for which specific dosing recommendations and safety data are lacking. The prescribing of drugs to children will not be part of this protocol. Taking advantage of procedures done as part of routine medical care (i.e. blood draws) this study will serve as a tool to better understand drug exposure in children receiving these drugs per standard of care. The data collected through this initiative will also provide valuable pharmacokinetic and dosing information of drugs in different pediatric age groups as well as special pediatric populations (i.e. obese).
The Connected Catheter is a fully internal, urethral indwelling urinary prosthesis designed for improved bladder management in males with urinary retention disorders requiring catheterization. It is a sterile, extended-use device that resides fully internally to the male lower urinary tract for an intended use life of up to 7 days per catheter.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and essential performance of the C2P System in males with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD), both in an acute clinical setting and an extended period of home use.
