E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the effect of intravesical neomycin sulfate 15 mg/ml (Neomycin sulfate solution) as compared to placebo for the treatment of acute urinary tract infection in patients with permanent intravesical catheter based on the proportion of patients with a result of <10^5 CFU/ml in urine determined by means of Uricult® Trio test (CLED medium) either 24 or 48 hours after the end of 5 days of treatment at the earliest time point at which no measurable concentration of neomycin is registered in urine. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To evaluate the proportion of patients with a result of <10^3 CFU/ml determined in urine between 24 and 48 hours after the end of treatment by means of Uricult® Trio test (CLED medium), - To evaluate leukocytes in urine between 24 and 48 hours after the end of treatment determined by means of a dipstick test, - To evaluate the proportion of patients in which resistance to neomycin develops in the course of treatment, defined as at least one type of microorganism isolated from the CLED medium of the Uricult® Trio being sensitive before treatment and becoming resistant after treatment, - To evaluate the ratings of suprapubic tenderness and change in the character of the urine by the investigator, - To evaluate the ratings of overall efficacy by the investigator. - To evaluate the safety of the test product |
