Trial Outcomes & Findings for Investigation of Non-CE Marked Intermittent Catheters for Females (NCT NCT04557787)

NCT ID: NCT04557787

Last Updated: 2023-09-21

Results Overview

The residual urine at 1st flow-stop during nurse catheterization (i.e., catheterization performed by the nurse) represents the volume of urine left in the bladder, the first time the urine stops running out of the catheter during bladder emptying/urination. This was assessed using a pressure sensor with time-logged weighing, meaning that a flow-stop was registered measuring the hydrostatic pressure at the outlet of an intermittent urinary catheter. Simultaneously, the collected urine was weighed and converted to volume, and the residual volume at first flow stop was calculated as the difference between the total urine volume collected and the volume collected at the first flow-stop.

Participant Flow

Between December 2020 and May 2021,15 users were recruited for the study from one site (Denmark) and encompassed the safety population.

The 15 recruited participant were randomized into the three treatment arms, using a randomization sequence of six. No participants were excluded or discontinued. Two participants had an adverse event, both were classified as mild, non-serious and 'Possibly related' (for details; see Adverse Events section). Thus, 15 participants constituted the intention to treat (ITT) population.

n=15 Participants
Each treatment arm consisted of three test visits with 4-14 days between each crossover. On each visit, the participants underwent intermittent catheterization through the urethra, draining the bladder, and tested a different intermittent catheter: The comparator catheter (SpeediCath® Standard female), the new Variant 1 catheter, or the new Variant 2 catheter. For each visit and catheter tested, the participants underwent two catheterizations; the first catheterization was performed by a trained nurse and was followed by later same-day self-catheterization (i.e. performed by the participant).

Discomfort measured at catheter insertion (performed by nurse), using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The VAS is a tool used to rate the intensity of certain sensations and feelings, e.g. discomfort/pain. It is a straight line of 10 cm (in this case horizontal) with one end meaning no discomfort/pain (0 cm) and the other end meaning the worst discomfort/pain imaginable (10 cm). The subject visualizes and marks a point on the line that matches the amount of discomfort/pain experienced. A high score reflects a worse outcome than a lower score.
