Flyte device to help urinary incontinence after pelvic radiation for endometrial or cervical cancer
Official title: Flyte System Transvaginal Mechanotherapy for Urinary Incontinence in Endometrial and Cervical Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Study
Run by Mayo Clinic · NCT07662824 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether a home-use Flyte device, used during guided pelvic floor exercises, can improve urinary incontinence in women who had pelvic radiation for endometrial or cervical cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women with a history of pelvic radiation for endometrial or cervical cancer, at least 3 months post-treatment, who have urinary incontinence and can use the Flyte app on a smartphone or tablet.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without improvement in urinary symptoms or those unable to use the Flyte app or device as instructed may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This interventional study evaluates the Flyte medical device as a home-based mechanotherapy aid for urinary incontinence in endometrial and cervical cancer survivors who completed pelvic radiation. Participants perform guided pelvic floor contractions while the device delivers targeted mechanical vibrations during the exercises. The study also includes educational components, interviews, questionnaires, and follow-up to assess usability, tolerability, and impact on quality of life. Eligible participants are adult women with a history of pelvic radiation and a diagnosis of stress or urge incontinence, who can use a smartphone/tablet and access the Flyte app. The trial is conducted at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, with data collected to determine feasibility and potential benefits of in-home Flyte use.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience reduced urinary incontinence symptoms and improved daily living and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies of home-based mechanotherapy devices for pelvic floor dysfunction show promise, but this specific Flyte-based approach in cancer survivors is relatively novel.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female patients who have received conventionally fractioned adjuvant or primary pelvic radiation therapy for endometrial or cervical cancer ≥ 3 months prior to registration * Age ≥ 21 years at enrollment * English speaking * Demonstrates understanding of the study protocol and has signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF) * Has a clinical diagnosis of urinary incontinence (stress urinary incontinence \[SUI\], urge urinary incontinence \[UUI\], mixed) or overactive bladder (OAB) * Ability to contract the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) without pain * Ability to tolerate size 6 vaginal dilator * Internet access * Access to an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet with capabilities to download and use the Flyte app * Willing and able to participate in follow-up Exclusion Criteria: * Participation in another clinical study which may interfere with study requirements * Currently receiving active cancer directed therapy (i.e., cytotoxic chemotherapy) in post hysterectomy patients * Completion of radiation therapy or surgery within 3 months of enrollment * Life expectancy is less than six months in the opinion of the investigator * Inability to tolerate insertion of the intravaginal wand. This will be recorded to support the usability of Flyte secondary endpoint * Suspected vesicovaginal or colovaginal fistula * Physical limitations that impede the patient's ability to participate (e.g., ability to grasp the wand and insert it and ability to turn on the Flyte controller unit) * Acute infection or hematuria * Inability to contract the PFMs or pain with contraction, as confirmed with intravaginal exam * Impaired cognitive function or neurologic conditions
