Urine sample bank for intermittent catheter users
This study collects urine samples and health information from people who use intermittent catheters to empty their bladder. The goal is to build a biobank for future research on urinary tract infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have used intermittent catheters as your main way to empty your bladder for at least one year.
- You have had between 2 and 5 urinary tract infections in the past year.
- You are not currently taking preventive (prophylactic) antibiotics.
- You are not in another study that directly involves your lower urinary tract.

This trial tests if a special infection control program can reduce infections in patients with urinary catheters in the hospital. It may help prevent catheter-related infections during your stay.
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 study collects urine and tissue samples from people being checked for blood in their urine (hematuria) to build a 'bladder bank' for future research. By donating samples, you help scientists learn more about bladder conditions and improve diagnosis.
This trial asks people who use intermittent catheters to empty their bladder to share their experiences through online questionnaires. Results may improve how catheters work for others with bladder emptying needs.
This study looks at how bacteria and the immune system affect the lower urinary tract. It includes healthy volunteers and people with various urinary conditions, like infections or bladder pain.
This study collects blood, urine, and tissue samples from patients with urological diseases or cancers to build a biobank for future research. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and develop new treatments.
