Why Join a UTI Clinical Trial?
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infections seen in outpatient health care, particularly among older adults. Caused by bacteria like Escherichia coli, UTIs can lead to symptoms such as pain, dysuria, fever, and — if left untreated — more serious complications like pyelonephritis.
This study is part of ongoing clinical research focused on improving how we treat UTIs and addressing the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Public health organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have identified UTI-related resistance as a major health care concern.
As a participant, you'll:
- » Receive expert-monitored therapy and support
- » Contribute to meaningful research that may benefit future patients
- » Help evaluate treatment efficacy and support ongoing drug development
- » Be part of a trial that follows strict protocols reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
What to Expect
Our team will gather basic data, confirm health status, and review your medical history.
You'll meet with a physician, complete informed consent, and undergo testing such as urinalysis, blood work, and physical evaluation.
If eligible, you'll receive investigational antibiotic therapy (which may include a placebo) and track symptoms like back pain, fatigue, and urinary discomfort. The details will be discussed with you during the informed consent phase.
We’ll check for any adverse events, relapse, or evidence of improvement in bacteriuria or inflammation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a UTI?
UTIs (urinary tract infections) are usually caused by bacteria, most often Escherichia coli (E. coli). These bacteria can enter the urethra and move into the bladder, causing an infection in the urinary system. If left untreated, the infection may spread to the kidneys or lead to more serious problems like pyelonephritis.
Are UTI clinical trials safe?
Yes. Every clinical trial at Santos Research Center is reviewed by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) — a group of medical experts that ensures each study is safe and ethical. Before you begin, you'll go through a process called informed consent, which explains any possible risks, side effects, and your rights as a participant.
Do I need health insurance?
No. You do not need insurance to participate. All study-related care, including exams and medication, is provided at no cost.
What kinds of treatments or tests are involved?
This depends on the study. Some clinical trials may involve lab tests like urinalysis or blood work, and may study how different medications work to treat infections. The goal is to improve how we treat UTIs and reduce issues like antibiotic resistance.
Will I be paid to participate?
Most studies offer compensation, but the amount can vary. How much you receive depends on the number of visits and what the study includes. You’ll be given all the details before you decide to join.
Can I leave the study after joining?
Yes. Being in a clinical trial is always your choice. You can leave at any time, for any reason, and it won’t affect your access to regular health care in the future.
