What is being measured

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

  1. Successful rate of Trial Without Catheter (TWOC) at phase 1

    Measured: At discharge after TWOC (at the end phase one)

  2. Late failure of TWOC of, which is defined as recurrent of AUR or the need of invasive therapy among those who are successful in TWOC in phase 1

    Measured: From the end of phase one to eight months after successful TWOC (the end of phase 2)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Proportion of subjects with hypotension or symptoms related to hypotension after administration of treatment drug for TWOC

    Measured: From the time of treatment drug administration to the end of phase 1

  2. Peak flow rate (Qmax), voided volume (Vcomp) and post-voided residue volume (PVR)

    Measured: At the end of phase I (discharge after TWOC) and at the end of phase 2
