What this study is testing
What is Collection of a urine sample?
Collection of a urine sample is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for spina bifida.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The aim of the study is to investigate known urinary biomarkers in order to determine whether they can be predictive of a risk of damage to the upper urinary tract and therefore the kidneys in patients with spina bifida. The risk of damage to the upper urinary tract can be calculated using the Galloway score, based on the results of the urodynamic study and retrograde urethrocystography, which all patients with spina bifida have regularly.
