Cranberry Proanthocyanidins and Lactobacilli for Recurrent UTI Prevention in Type 2 Diabetes
Sponsor: National Institute of Endocrinology, Georgia
Summary
The purpose of this prospective, single-arm feasibility study was to evaluate the operational feasibility, tolerability, safety, and exploratory clinical outcomes of an oral supplement combining standardized cranberry proanthocyanidins (PACs) and a multi-strain Lactobacillus formulation in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a documented history of recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs). Participants received a 60-day active intervention consisting of a combined capsule taken twice daily, followed by a 120-day observation period without study intervention, for a total follow-up duration of 180 days. Primary feasibility outcomes included screening and enrollment metrics, retention rate at day 180, and tolerability/adverse event rates. Exploratory endpoints included the incidence of microbiologically confirmed symptomatic UTIs and changes in antibiotic prescription rates compared with pre-enrollment history.
