About this study

Official title: Changes in Abdominal Leak Point Pressures in Women Stress Urinary Incontinence Following Intravesical Air Instillation During Urodynamic Study

More than 11 million women in the United States suffer from stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the involuntary leakage of urine during everyday activities that put temporary stress on the abdomen and bladder, such as laughing, coughing, and walking. For women with SUI, this pressure often causes urine to leak involuntarily. SUI affects women of all ages including young mothers, pre-menopausal women, and seniors, and can result in significant emotional distress. Current solutions for SUI include disposable pads, behavioral treatment (pelvic floor physical therapy) and surgical intervention. Patients with SUI who failed conservative treatment and wish to be further treated by a surgery may require further work-up by urodynamic study in which abdominal leak point pressures (ALPP) defined and reflect the severity of SUI.

There is continuous need to develop less invasive treatments for SUI that could minimize the use of pads, could be an alternative to painful, costly surgical procedure. The Trendlines Group lab solution is a non-surgical alternative in the treatment of SUI. The concept of the future treatment solution is based on simple physics: injecting a small amount of air into the urinary bladder, which eliminates or greatly reduces involuntary urinary leakage. The air bubble acts as a "shock absorber" to reduce the temporary pressure increase in the bladder that causes urinary leakage. The concept for the new treatment has been tested in a lab environment using lab jig tests and pig urinary system (bladder and urethra). The lab tests showed significant improvement in the bladder pressure when the treatment was implemented by suspending the stress pressure to a level that will not cause urine leakage.

Following positive results of this proof of concept study we could plan further innovative device to treat SUI in women.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SUI 1Other

    Also called 50ml of air instillation into the bladder

    instillation of 50ml of air into the urinary bladder before the urodynamic test

SUI 1ExperimentalPatients will perform urodynamic study before and after instillation of 50 ml of air
Receives: Other: SUI 1

What is being measured

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

  1. change in abdominal leak point pressure

    to verify the concept of a possible future treatment in the clinical setup by checking physical effect of dumping pressure (decrease in ALLP) by inserting 50 ml of air into the bladder during the urodynamic study in patients with SUI.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SUI 1 in people with Stress Urinary Incontinence, run by Meir Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 6 Oct 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 Israel. 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?

change in abdominal leak point pressure (time frame: 1 day). 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 6 Oct 2017.
