ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effectiveness of an antibiotic called fosfomycin trometamol (known as MONURIL®) for treating urinary tract infections (UTIs) in men. UTIs in men are often overlooked, and the usual treatment with fluoroquinolone antibiotics can have serious side effects and contribute to antibiotic resistance. The goal of this study is to see if fosfomycin trometamol can be a safer and effective alternative for men with UTIs.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be men aged 18 or older who have symptoms of a urinary tract infection, such as painful urination or pelvic pain. They should not have any severe health issues or a recent history of UTIs that could complicate their treatment. If eligible, participants will receive treatment with fosfomycin and will be monitored for how well the antibiotic works and if there are any treatment failures. It's important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to find a safer option for managing male urinary tract infections.
