D-mannose to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections in older women
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple sugar called D-mannose can help prevent repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in postmenopausal women. If you have had frequent UTIs, this trial will see if D-mannose is a good option to keep you infection-free.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who has gone through menopause and are 55 years or older.
- You have had at least 3 urinary tract infections in the past year, or 2 in the past 6 months, each confirmed by a urine test.
- You do not have a current UTI and can attend all follow-up visits.
- You have had a recent check of your kidneys and bladder (including an ultrasound and a special X-ray) that showed no problems like stones, blockages, or severe pelvic organ prolapse.
- You are not currently taking D-mannose or other supplements like vitamins, probiotics, or cranberry products (or you are willing to stop them for 4 weeks before starting).

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 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.
This trial tests an oral capsule called U101 to see if it can prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women who have frequent UTIs. If you've had at least 2 UTIs in the last 6 months or 3 in the last year, you may be able to join.
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.
This study tests whether putting testosterone in the vagina can help prevent future bladder infections (UTIs) compared with a dummy treatment. It’s for older postmenopausal women who keep getting UTIs, especially those who can’t or don’t want to use vaginal estrogen.
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.
