A vaccine to prevent urinary infections in people using catheters
This study tests a vaccine called Uromune to see if it can prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in people who use a urinary catheter for a long time. If it works, it could offer an alternative to antibiotics for preventing these infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have had a Foley catheter in place for at least 4 weeks
- You expect to need the catheter for at least 6 more months
- You have had at least one catheter-related urinary tract infection or have been in the hospital for a suspected urinary tract infection in the last 6 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether replacing a urinary catheter early during a catheter-related infection leads to better outcomes than keeping it in place. It may help people who have had a catheter for at least two weeks and develop a urinary tract infection.
This trial tests a new vaccine to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). It first checks safety and immune response in healthy adults, then in women with recent E. coli UTIs. The goal is to see if the vaccine can reduce future infections.
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 tests a new type of urinary catheter (called 'NowCath Foley') to see if it reduces infections and blockages compared to standard catheters. If you use a long-term catheter and are under community nursing care, this might be relevant for you.
This trial studies different ways to prevent repeated bladder (urinary tract) infections in women. It may help people who keep getting these infections by testing safer or more effective prevention strategies.
