About this study

Official title: A Prospective Trial Comparing the Response to Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment in Patients With Ulcerative and Non-Ulcerative Interstitial Cystitis

To review the results of Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy (HBOT) on the symptoms of interstitial cystitis (IC). To determine if there is greater symptom improvement in the ulcerative vs the non-ulcerative patients with interstitial cystitis.

Read the detailed description

There are multiple published studies outside of the United States on HBOT for treatment of interstitial cystitis. None of these studies compares ulcerative IC and non-ulcerative IC.

What is being measured

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

  1. Global Response Assessment (GRA)

    The GRA measures overall improvement with therapy. The patient's response describes their current condition compared to before they received hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Responses are: 1 Markedly Worse, 2 Moderately Worse, 3 Mildly Worse, 4 Unchanged, 5 Mildly Better, 6 Moderately Better and 7 Markedly Better.

    Measured: 3 months post treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing HBOT in people with Interstitial Cystitis, run by Kenneth Peters, MD 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 3 Mar 2017. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 3 Mar 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?

Global Response Assessment (GRA) (time frame: 3 months post treatment). 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 3 Mar 2017.
