Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of the probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri 3613 for the decrease or prevent UTI occurrence in women ages 18-65 with a confirmed medical history of recurrent uncomplicated UTIs compared to a Placebo (the study medication without the probiotic)

Detailed Description

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

Adult women with a confirmed medical history of recurrent uncomplicated UTIs meeting all the eligibility criteria will be allocated in two study arms: test and placebo. Approximately 65 subjects per group will be enrolled to assure that approximately 50 subjects in each group complete the study. the study will be conducted in Ireland. The study will last approximately six month for each subject and will consist of 5 visits. The L. reuteri 3613 will be taken daily for 6 months and the frequency of UTIs will be assessed to determine the potential for the probiotic to decrease or prevent UTI occurrence.
