Continence Care Registry (ConCaRe™)

May 4, 2026 updated by: Hollister Incorporated

Continence Care Registry (ConCaRe™)

This observational research study aims to build a multinational electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) registry of adult end users in outpatient and community settings using intermittent catheter(s) to void via the urethra to manage urinary retention and incomplete bladder emptying. Research participants will be asked to self-report on various attributes of their currently prescribed intermittent catheters and other various aspects of using an intermittent catheter.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

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

This observational research study aims to build a multinational ePRO registry of adult end users in outpatient and community settings using intermittent catheter(s) to void via the urethra to manage urinary retention and incomplete bladder emptying. Research resulting from data generated from an ePRO registry will factor in end user perspectives on intermittent catheterization habits and behaviors and intermittent catheter performance to inform and guide healthcare providers, end users, and caregivers in making the most informed healthcare decisions regarding intermittent catheterization. Research participants will be asked to self-report on various attributes of their currently prescribed intermittent catheters and various aspects of habits and behaviors, including health-related quality of life, of using an intermittent catheter.

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

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Sponsor-curated customer databases and printed EC/IRB approved advertisements targeted to intermittent catheter consumers from the USA, Canada, UK, Italy, France, Germany, and The Netherlands that may be distributed by clinicians, mail, website, conferences and other consumer contacts.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Is at least 18 years of age; male or female.
  2. Is performing transurethral intermittent catheterization.
  3. Uses intermittent catheter(s) from any manufacturer as a form of management for urinary retention or incomplete bladder emptying.
  4. Must be able to provide informed consent and have no cognitive impairment that would hinder the ability to provide informed consent or self-reported data.
  5. Lives and has permanent residence in one of the countries that the study is being conducted at time of enrollment (USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, The Netherlands, or Italy)
  6. Is willing and able to complete electronic questionnaires monthly for the first year of data collection and quarterly thereafter or appoint a caregiver proxy.
  7. Is able to read and respond to the questionnaires in the language options provided for a given country (e.g. French Canadian or English for Canada)

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Performs non transurethral catheterization, e.g., stoma.
  2. Participating in a clinical study involving transurethral intermittent self-catheterization at the time of enrollment.
  3. Employee of Sponsor at the time of enrollment.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Standard of Care
Individuals using an intermittent catheter to void urine through the urethra. Participants use their currently prescribed intermittent catheter per their clinician's standard of care.
Device: Intermittent Catheter
Flexible tubular device used to drain urine from the bladder via the urethra by male, female, and pediatrics.

What is the study measuring?

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Creation of longitudinal continence care ePRO-based, direct-to-consumer registry
Time Frame: 5 years
To build a longitudinal continence care ePRO-based, direct-to-consumer registry addressing overall intermittent self-catheterization product satisfaction, QoL, healthcare resource utilization associated with urinary symptoms, urinary tract infections and other complications including burden of ISC over time, and end-user product preference factors.
5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Identification of intermittent self-catheterization habits and behaviors
Time Frame: 5 years
To identify intermittent self-catheterization habits and behaviors, and enable meaningful intermittent catheter comparisons, including but not limited to product-specific outcomes related to urinary symptoms associated with ISC, frequency of UTI and other complications over time, and product satisfaction over time.
5 years

For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
