Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Postoperative Urinary Tract Infection Pelvic Organ Prolapse Stress Urinary Incontinence | Drug: gentamicin sulfate Other: Catheter clamping only | Phase 2 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 370 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Masking: | Single (Participant) |
Masking Description: | The subject will be masked as to whether she has been assigned to the gentamicin arm or the control arm. The subject will be unmasked at the completion of the 6 week follow up period. |
Primary Purpose: | Prevention |
Official Title: | Gentamicin Intravesical Efficacy for Infection of Urinary Tract |
Actual Study Start Date : | January 29, 2020 |
Actual Primary Completion Date : | December 5, 2021 |
Actual Study Completion Date : | December 5, 2021 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Gentamicin Arm
At the completion of the subjects surgery but prior to awakening from anesthesia, 80mg of gentamicin in 50 mL of normal saline will be infused into the subject's bladder through the standard-of-care transurethral catheter by the surgeon. The surgeon will then clamp the catheter and label the catheter with the clamping time. The catheter will be clamped to prevent the gentamicin from immediately flowing out of the bladder and thus allow the gentamicin time to have an effect. The subject will then proceed as usual to the postoperative anesthesia care unit. A member of the subject's care team will unclamp the catheter after 1 hour. The subject will otherwise have usual pre-operative and post-operative care.
|
Drug: gentamicin sulfate
Subjects in the gentamicin arm will receive an bladder instillation of 80mg of gentamicin sulfate in 50 mL of normal saline through a standard-of-care Foley catheter.
Other Name: gentamicin sulfate transurethral bladder instillation with catheter clamping for 1 hour |
Sham Comparator: Control Arm
If the patient is randomized to no instillation, at the end of the surgery but prior to awakening from anesthesia, the surgeon will clamp the catheter and label the catheter with the clamping time. The purpose of clamping the catheter for subjects receiving usual care will be to ensure patients are masked to study arm assignment if they wake up and notice their catheter. The subject will then proceed as usual to the postoperative anesthesia care unit. A member of the subject's care team will unclamp the catheter after 1 hour. The subject will otherwise have usual pre-operative and post-operative care.
|
Other: Catheter clamping only
Subjects in the control arm will have their standard-of-care transurethral catheter clamped for 1 hour post-placement to maintain subject masking to study arm. |

- Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Within 6 weeks after surgery ]Hospital readmissions
- Number of Participants With Isolated Uropathogen on Post-operative Urine Culture [ Time Frame: Within 6 weeks after surgery ]
