詳細な説明
Recurrent cystitis, defined as two or more episodes within 6 months or three or more episodes within 12 months, is particularly frequent in menopausal women because of age-related changes in estrogen levels, the urogenital epithelium, and the microbiota. The gastrointestinal tract is considered an important reservoir of uropathogenic bacteria, and intestinal dysbiosis may contribute to recurrent urinary tract infections.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial designed to evaluate whether Colipral® (probiotic strain Escherichia coli 5C (ECP24®)) reduces the proportion of menopausal women experiencing recurrent symptomatic cystitis compared with placebo during a 24-week follow-up period. Recurrence is defined as the appearance of urinary symptoms compatible with the need for therapy and confirmed by urine culture.
A total of 134 menopausal women with recurrent cystitis will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Colipral® or placebo. Participants in the active treatment group will receive one capsule daily for 12 weeks, while participants in the control group will receive an identical placebo for the same duration. The follow-up period will continue beyond treatment discontinuation to evaluate the persistence of the preventive effect.
Secondary objectives include evaluation of the number of cystitis episodes, time to first recurrence, antibiotic consumption, urinary pain assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), symptom severity, and quality of life assessed using the UTI-SIQ-8 questionnaire.
