About this study

Official title: Prospective, Multicenter Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of InterStim® Therapy in Subjects With Symptoms of Overactive Bladder (InSite OAB)

The purposes of this study are:

  1. To provide evidence from a randomized controlled trial that InterStim Therapy provides better relief of symptoms of OAB than standard medical treatments in current use.
  2. To fulfill the requirements of the FDA-mandated post-approval study of the safety of the tined lead using a minimally invasive approach.
Read the detailed description

Approximately 30 million Americans meet the criteria for overactive bladder (OAB). Urinary voiding dysfunction symptoms impose a significant physical and psychosocial impact on individuals, including loss of self-esteem and a decrease in the ability to maintain an independent lifestyle. These symptoms can substantially affect a subject's daily activities.

Patients with OAB are managed with diet modification, bladder training or retraining, pelvic muscle rehabilitation, medication and biofeedback. Medications are used as the first-line therapy for urgency frequency and urinary urge incontinence.

InterStim Therapy utilizes sacral nerve stimulation and is indicated in the US for the treatment of urinary retention and the symptoms of OAB, including urinary urge incontinence and significant symptoms of urgency-frequency alone or in combination, in subjects who have failed or could not tolerate more conservative treatments.

InSite OAB Protocol 1634 consists of two phases; Phase I which is the randomized portion of the trail and Phase II the non-randomized portion.

Phase 1: A minimum of 60 subjects randomized to InterStim and a minimum of 60 subjects randomized to SMT.

Phase 2: Non-randomized, all qualified subjects will receive InterStim, approximately 297 enrolled Subjects previously enrolled in Protocol 1634 for Urinary Urge Incontinence and Protocol 1635 for Urgency-Frequency will be included in Phase I of the new Protocol 1634 of OAB.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Randomized Cohort: OAB Therapeutic Response

    To demonstrate that the OAB therapeutic response rate at 6 months is greater for the InterStim therapy group than for the Standard Medical Therapy group. OAB therapeutic response rate was calculated as number of subjects with OAB therapeutic response divided by number of subjects included in the analysis. OAB therapeutic response was defined as:

    • at least 50% or greater improvement in average leaks/day from baseline for subjects with urinary incontinence at baseline or
    • at least 50% improvement in average voids/day from baseline or a return to normal voiding frequency (<8 voids/day) for subjects with urgency-frequency at baseline.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. All Implanted Cohort: Adverse Events Related to the Tined Lead That Require Surgery

    To demonstrate that the upper bound of the 95% CI for the cumulative five-year rate of adverse events related to the tined lead that require surgery is less than 0.33.

    Adverse events on or after neurostimulator implant with an etiology of lead and with an intervention of surgical intervention/revision are the event of interest.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. All Implanted Cohort: Tined Lead Migration Rate

    To estimate the suspected cumulative tined lead migration rate at 5 years in subjects with a full system implant. Suspected tined lead migration resulting in an adverse event of lead migration/dislodgement meets the definition of this endpoint.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. All Implanted Cohort: Infection Rate Associated With the Tined Lead

    To characterize the cumulative infection rate at 5 years associated with the tined lead in subjects with a full system implant.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing InterStim and Standard Medical Therapy in people with Urinary Incontinence, Urgency-frequency and Overactive Bladder, run by MedtronicNeuro.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Dec 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Randomized Cohort: OAB Therapeutic Response (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00547378, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Dec 2017.
