Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: We will be examining urine already collected and in the Beaumont Biobank. The urine to be examined is from patients with known severe Interstitial Cystitis (IC), mild IC or known to not have the disease.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who have previously been contacted and consented to place a sample within the biobank. We will select five representative patients from the severe IC diagnosis, mild IC diagnosis, and no IC diagnosis, and we will match these patients as best as possible within the limited biobank samples.

Who cannot join

  • None

About this study

Official title: Urinary Biomarkers Characteristic to Interstitial Cystitis- Proteomic Analysis of Urine

This is a retrospective study of urine samples stored in the Beaumont BioBank for future research. The urine samples will be drawn from the urine back with patients previously diagnosed with severe interstitial cystitis (IC), mild IC and no IC.

Interstitial Cystitis (IC) also known as Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS) is a chronic inflammatory disease. It has an unknown etiology, symptoms which present to varying degrees, as well as an uncertain natural history. Diagnosis of IC is based on symptoms after excluding more common and dangerous pathologies.

Read the detailed description

Extensive research has been done to understand the multifactorial etiology as well as to help diagnose IC. Infectious, autoimmune and anatomic causes have been looked at with few usable results. Inflammatory cells and markers have been more productive. Recently we have shown in the rat model, that chemically induced inflammation, yields temporal increases in measurable cytokines and chemokines in the urine. Moreover, this was done by Multiplex analysis, using a multiple antigen bead assay (Luminex).

Cytokines and chemokines, part of an organisms proteome, allow for looking at the function of a cell or organ at the time of the collection United States: Institutional Review Board. Urine is obtained non-invasively and yields significant information about urinary tract organs. The ability to find a biomarker or pattern of biomarker in the urine, diagnostic to a disease, offers significant advantages over serum or tissue diagnosis.

We hope to identify patterns of inflammatory markers using proteomic analysis using the previously mentioned multiple antigen cassettes (Luminex) as well as identify possible new biomarkers using a Protein Chip SELDI--TOF (surface enhanced laser desorption ionisation-time of flight) mass spectrometer. The detection of patterns or new biomarkers has promise to help with diagnosis, treatment, and ultimately revealing the etiology and course of IC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Interstitial Cystitis, run by Corewell Health East at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 19 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Using a ProteinChip SELDI--TOF (surface enhanced laser desorption ionisation-time of flight) mass spectrometer, we will analyze previously collected urine samples from matched patients with severe IC, mild IC and controls without disease. (time frame: 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 19 Mar 2012.
