Urine Sample Biobank for Adults Using Intermittent Catheters

Official title: Establishment of a Urine Research Biobank to Explore Basic Urine Characteristics From Adult Intermittent Catheter Users

Run by Coloplast A/S · NCT07769606 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether collecting and storing urine samples from adults who use intermittent catheterization, with and without recent UTIs, can build a biobank for future research without changing their standard care.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) who use intermittent catheterization as their primary bladder emptying method and have had 2–5 UTIs in the past year, able and willing to follow study procedures and provide written informed consent.

Probably not a fit

Individuals not using intermittent catheterization or those with different urinary tract care needs may not directly benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational, non-interventional study that collects urine samples from adult intermittent catheter users who have had recent UTIs and those who have not. Samples will be stored in a research biobank for up to five years after the last patient out, with each participant contributing up to one year of samples or until four complete collections are obtained. Urine collection is done at home or via pickup and does not involve any new medical procedures or devices. Participants complete questionnaires related to UTI episodes and baseline collection. No investigational devices are tested, and standard care remains unchanged throughout the study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the biobank could enable future research to better understand UTIs and catheter-associated risks, potentially guiding improved care.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research leveraging urine biobanks and non-interventional sample collection has supported biobank utility, though this specific IC user population is relatively specialized.
