Topical Steroids to Prevent Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Uncircumcised Male Infants: a Pilot Study
United States40 participantsStarted 2026-04
Plain-language summary
The goal of this smaller clinical trial is to evaluate the study design of this research to help prepare for a larger research study in the future. The future larger study would focus on whether steroid cream can reduce recurrent urinary tract infections in male infants, who are not circumcised.
Male infants, who are enrolled in this study, would receive either the steroid cream or a placebo cream (a look alike cream without steroids). The cream would be applied twice a week for four weeks. Then there would be two follow up visits with the research team to measure whether the infant experienced any urinary tract infections and to measure parent perceptions of their experience participating in the study.
