About

To determine the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine Uromune in Canadian women with recurrent urinary tract infection.

Full description

The proposal is for a real life clinical practice study in which female participants with a predefined history of recurrent UTIs in the previous year will be treated with 3 months of oral vaccine with a further 9 months of follow-up. The primary outcome will be no UTI in the 9 month efficacy period following completion of the vaccine (definition of a responder). A clinically significant and important outcome will be defined as a responder rate of 50% (50% of participants who had at least 3 UTIs in the previous year reporting no UTIs after therapy initiated.
