Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this prospective, post-market, multi-site, open-label, crossover trial, women with urinary incontinence requiring the use of diapers (changes complets (French term)) at night will be 1:1 randomized to a treatment sequence using two devices (PureWick™ System and Hollister® Female Urinary Pouch External Collection Device) and followed for approximately 10 weeks through 2 treatment phases. The primary objectives are to evaluate safety (skin injury) and efficacy (capture rate). Safety will be assessed using the Draize Scale and efficacy will be measured based on daily urine capture rate.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this prospective, post-market, multi-site, open-label, crossover trial, women with urinary incontinence requiring the use of diapers (changes complets (French term)) at night will be 1:1 randomized to a treatment sequence using two devices (PureWick™ System and Hollister® Female Urinary Pouch External Collection Device) and followed for approximately 10 weeks through 2 treatment phases.

Approximately 30 female participants from 2 sites will be enrolled into the study. Those meeting eligibility criteria will be treated according to the treatment sequence assigned during randomization. Participants will view the standardized training video for the applicable product at the beginning of each treatment phase and have access to the Information for Use document (IFU) to review during each treatment phase. The total expected duration of subject participation is approximately 10 weeks. Participants will use the device assigned in treatment phase 1 overnight while sleeping for 4 weeks (28 days) before transitioning to the second assigned device in treatment phase 2. There will be a minimum washout period of 2 weeks (not to exceed 4 weeks) between treatment phases and a re-screening of eligibility criteria before the second phase. In both treatment phases, participants will independently place and remove the FEC (female external catheter) or FUP (Female Urinary Pouch) after standardized teaching is completed on the first day of the treatment phase.

The primary objectives are to evaluate safety (skin injury) and efficacy (capture rate). Safety will be assessed using the Draize Scale and efficacy will be measured based on daily urine capture rate. Health Care Providers (HCPs) will visit participants' homes daily to perform a skin assessment and collect urine measurements during the treatment phases. Participants will be withdrawn from the treatment phase if grade 4 is achieved in any category on the Draize skin irritation scale.

The secondary objectives are to assess quality of life, tolerability, comfort and ease of use. Quality of life and comfort and ease of use will be measured using self-reported changes in quality of life via the validated Nocturia Quality of Life (N-Qol) tool \& the PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Short-form 4a survey, and subjective evaluation of the therapy via participant survey, respectively. Tolerability will be measured by number of days of actual use of both devices, and discontinuation rate attributed to the device's discomfort or inconvenience.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treatment Sequence 1

The PureWick™ System is used for the first 4 weeks, followed by cross-over to the Hollister Female Urinary Pouch.

Group Type OTHER

PureWick™ System

Intervention Type DEVICE

The PureWick™ FEC is intended for non-invasive urine output management in female patients. The PureWick™ FEC is a flexible, contoured external catheter that is positioned against the area where urine exits the female body. The PureWick™ FEC is connected to the PureWick™ Urine Collection System (PUCS) via connector tubing. The PUCS uses suction (not felt by the user) to pull voided urine through the device, regardless of the urine flow rate. Urine continues through vinyl tubing until it reaches a collection canister, away from the body.

Hollister® Female Urinary Pouch External Collection Device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Hollister Female Urinary Pouch External Collection Device is intended to collect and contain urine for individuals with urinary incontinence. It is designed to be emptied and should be attached to a drainage bag. The FUP is made with hydrocolloid skin adhesive and polymer/copolymer plastics.

Treatment Sequence 2

The Hollister Female Urinary Pouch is used for the first 4 weeks, followed by cross-over to the PureWick™ System.
