Randomized Study of Silq Urinary Catheter

November 26, 2024 updated by: Silq Technologies Corporation

Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized Study to Assess the Ability of the Silq ClearTract™ Urinary Catheter to Reduce Biofilm Formation When Compared to Two Types of Commercially Available Foley Catheters (Silver-Coated Latex and Silicone-coated Latex)

To assess the ability of the Silq ClearTract™ 100% Silicone 2-Way Foley Catheter to reduce biofilm formation in subjects that require a long-term indwelling Foley catheter when compared to other commercially available urinary catheters.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

A prospective, randomized, multi-center, post-market study in subjects that require a long-term indwelling Foley catheter.

A randomly assigned catheter will be inserted using standard techniques. Non-surgical subjects will rate the level of pain associated with the insertion procedure using the visual analog scale (VAS). A urine sample will be collected immediately after catheter insertion, in order to generate a baseline urinalysis and urine culture.

Follow-up visits will be performed on Day 28, or upon catheter removal, whichever occurs first. The catheter will be removed on Day 28 or earlier if clinically indicated. The removed catheter will be processed and sent to the core laboratory for analysis. Urine will be collected immediately prior to catheter removal in order to conduct urinalysis and urine culture. Subject will rate level of pain associated with the removal procedure using the VAS. The subject will also fill out a questionnaire about their experience with the catheterization immediately after catheter removal. Subjects will then be exited from the study.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
158

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or female age ≥ 18 years old;
  2. Requiring indwelling 16Fr Foley catheter for at least 7 days;
  3. Able and willing to comply with study procedure; and,
  4. Able and willing to give informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Allergy or sensitivity to any catheter materials used in this study;
  2. Known urethral stricture which, in the opinion of the investigator, could influence the subject's evaluation of the catheter;
  3. Planned Prophylactic use of antibiotics for CAUTI or any other infection beyond day 1 of the study (catheter implantation);
  4. Symptomatic UTI being treated with antibiotics (as determined by the study PI, including at least one of the following: fever, chills, headache, burning sensation, burning of urethra or genital area, blood in urine, foul smelling urine and ≥ 10,000 cfu/mL);
  5. Any other infection being treated with antibiotics at the time of catheter implantation;
  6. Subjects requiring bladder irrigation during the study (an active voiding trial in surgical subjects prior to catheter removal is allowed);
  7. Currently enrolled in another interventional clinical trial;
  8. Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, precludes study participation or poses a significant hazard in case of study participation; and
  9. Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding or who plan to become pregnant during the study.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
