Evaluation of the Safety and Clinical Performance of the Connected Catheter Study

February 22, 2024 updated by: Spinal Singularity

Evaluation of the Safety and Clinical Performance of the Connected Catheter - Wireless Urinary Prosthesis for Management of Chronic Urinary Retention

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Connected Catheter in males with chronic Urinary Retention, both in a clinical setting and an extended period of home use.

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.

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

UroDev Medical has developed the Connected Catheter System to address several drawbacks of urinary catheters. The Connected Catheter is fully internal, indwelling urinary prosthesis designed for improved bladder management in males with urinary retention disorders requiring catheterization. Each subject will use the Connected Catheter for up to 4 weeks including weekly device exchange appointments. Additionally, weekly follow-up will occur for 14 days following the final appointment after the subject discontinues use of study device and reverts to his original catheter.

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

22 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 1. Males > 22 years old diagnosed with chronic Urinary Retention 2. Must be clinically suitable and capable of safely managing bladder using an intermittent voiding or indwelling catheter strategy:

    1. Must have stable urinary management history as determined by the Principal Investigator OR
    2. Must have urodynamic profile suitable for the Connected Catheter (including bladder capacity ≥ 200mL without uninhibited bladder contractions) 3. Subject's lower urinary tract anatomy must fall within the ranges serviceable by the Connected Catheter device, as specified in the Investigational Device Instructions For Use.

Exclusion Criteria:

Significant risk profile or recent history of clinically significant (uncontrolled) autonomic dysreflexia 4. Significant intermittent urinary incontinence (between catheterizations) 5. Uninhibited bladder contractions and/or Vesicoureteral reflux that is not reliably controlled with medication or alternate therapy (e.g., Botox injection)

Device: Connected Catheter
The Connected Catheter System is a replaceable wireless urinary prosthesis that is indicated for bladder emptying in male patients who have impaired bladder emptying due to chronic Urinary Retention.
