NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of instillations of Hyaluronic Acid in combination with Chondroitin sulfate in the presence of Calcium Chloride as excipient vs oral fosfomicyn trometamol in recurrent urinary tract infection prevention.;Secondary Objective: To assess the quality of life of patients under treatment with hyaluronic acid in combination with chondroitin sulfate in presence of calcium chloride as excipient vs oral fosfomicyn trometamol in recurrent urinary tract infection prevention.<br>To assess the tolerability of instillations of hyaluronic acid in combination with chondroitin sulfate in presence of calcium chloride as excipient vs oral fosfomycin in recurrent urinary tract infection prevention.;Primary end point(s): Time to recurrence of the infection (defined as time from the beginning of the treatment to the first recurrent infection);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At the end of the study (treatment + follow-up)
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary end point(s): Number of UTI per patient, infection/patient/year rate, time to recurrence of the infection from completion of treatment (defined as time from the last dose of treatment taken by the patient to the first recurrent infection)changes in volume and frequency of urination (measured with the bladder diary of 3 days), impact of the treatment in the quality of life (number of sexual relationships, FSFI questionnaire) and subjective evaluation of the urinary symptoms (PUF questionnaire).
