Test a small device to help treat vaginal fistula
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether “insertable cups” are helpful and acceptable for treating obstetric vaginal fistula (a hole between the birth canal and urinary tract). The trial checks if the device can close the problem and whether participants feel it’s safe and practical to use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your vaginal fistula must be confirmed on exam (and a dye test), and it must be at least 3 cm away from the external urethra opening
- You must have enough vaginal space for the study cup, as the clinician confirms
- You must be willing to place the cup in the vagina and remove it as instructed
- You must understand the study and be able to fully take part (you have not had successful repair yet, or you’re waiting long enough after delivery/repair)
- You must be 18+ (or legally considered an adult) and be able to speak English or the local language

This trial compares two laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery methods to fix a uterovesical fistula, which is an abnormal opening between the bladder and uterus that can happen after C-section or other pelvic surgery. The goal is to see which method works best.
This trial tests a hydrogel made from natural materials to help heal a specific type of anal fistula. It may be an option if you have a single high transsphincteric fistula with a seton in place for at least four weeks.
This trial tests a small implant device that can make dialysis fistulas easier to access with needles when normal needle access is too difficult or risky. It may help reduce painful failed attempts and needle-related complications for people with certain types of fistulas.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a donated-cell treatment (given with a minor procedure) can help heal simple anal fistulas. It mainly focuses on safety first, but may also look at how well the fistula closes.
This trial tests whether a special tissue therapy can help heal complex anal fistulas that involve a large part of the sphincter muscle. It is for adults who need surgery for this condition and do not have certain other health issues.
This study tests an experimental cell-based injection to help heal a type of anal fistula (an abnormal tunnel between the bowel and skin near the anus). It may be an option for people whose fistula is simple, not caused by Crohn's disease, and not currently infected or painful.
