U.S., Feb. 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06815120) titled 'A Novel Ureteric Stent in Kidney Stone Patients and Oncology Patients Compared to a Conventional JJ Stent' on Dec. 04, 2024.

Brief Summary: Urological stents and catheters often lead to inflammation, causing pain and infection in the urinary tract. Moreover, 80% of stents are associated with pain, negatively impacting on QoL and mental health. Offering novel designs with significantly lower E&B leads to a reduction in UTIs and improves QoL.
