Evaluation of Safety and Performance of the CytaCoat Lubricious Infection Prevention (LIP) Foley Catheter

Early Phase 1CompletedNCT06242600

CytaCoat AB30 enrolled

Overview

The goal of this pilot safety and tolerability study is to determine whether the novel CytaCoat LIP (Lubricious Infection Prevention) Foley catheter is safe to use in patients during short term use. The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability for the medical device CytaCoat LIP Foley catheter in patients undergoing Transurethral Resection of the Bladder (TUR-B) surgery. Safety will be assessed by evaluation of adverse events. The secondary objective is to assess the overall performance by evaluating if there were any Foley catheter handling problems experienced by the healthcare personnel with the use of the CytaCoat LIP Foley catheter. Exploratory objectives are to assess bacterial culture of urine samples taken before and after catheterization and to assess pain, irritation and discomfort measured by asking patients about their experience using the catheter using a questionnaire. Participants will be catheterized with either a CytaCoat Foley catheter or an uncoated silicone catheter, for a maximum of 24 hrs. After removal of the catheter, participants will be asked to assess if they experienced any pain, irritation and discomfort measured with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) (0-10). A similar assessment will be performed 7-10 days after removal of the catheter. In addition, the healthcare personnel will be asked to assess the functionality of the coated catheter with the NRS scale (0-10), using a questionnaire. Urine samples will be taken before and after catheterization and evaluated through quantification.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Assessment of incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events (safety and tolerability) of the CytaCoat LIP Foley catheter

Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) will be assessed, which are further divided into adverse device effects (ADEs) and serious ADEs (SADEs).

Time frame: 1 - 10 days

Secondary Outcomes

Assessment of the overall performance of the CytaCoat LIP Foley catheter

The functionality of the coated catheter will be assessed by a responsible nurse/physician with the NRS scale (0-10) using questionnaires.
