Gag therapy for repeat bladder infections, compared to standard antibiotics
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a therapy (called GAG therapy) to prevent repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adult women. It compares how similar the results are to a well-known antibiotic standard (nitrofurantoin) to see if it works reliably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult woman over 18 years old
- You’ve had at least 3 symptomatic UTIs in the past year
- At least one UTI was confirmed by urine culture, and later UTIs meet other lab-confirmation rules
- You are not already taking GAG therapy
- You are not using preventive antibiotics
- You can give informed consent

This trial studies ASTARTE™, a probiotic, to see if it can reduce repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs). It may help people who get UTIs often by testing whether the supplement lowers how frequently they come back.
This trial tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (a procedure that transfers healthy bacteria from a donor's stool into your gut) can help prevent repeat urinary tract infections in women who have frequent infections.
This trial tests two approaches to prevent repeat bladder infections in postmenopausal women: a daily antibiotic pill or a vaginal tablet containing healthy bacteria and estrogen. The goal is to see which method works better over 6 months.
This study compares taking a daily antibiotic (nitrofurantoin) alone versus having a procedure that cauterizes bladder areas (fulguration) plus the same daily antibiotic, to see which is better at preventing recurrent urinary tract infections in women.
This trial compares a new treatment approach—high-dose antibiotics combined with methenamine hippurate—against standard care for women with chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs). It aims to find if the combination works better at relieving persistent symptoms like pain and frequent urination.
This trial studies a new way to help stop urinary tract infections (UTIs) from coming back by using “bacterial interference” (changing the bacteria in the urinary system). It may help people who have had UTIs keep returning despite past treatments.
