About this study

Official title: EMED Detruset Intravesical Electrical Stimulation Catheter for Treatment of Urge Urinary Incontinence and Overactive Bladder Syndrome in Females

The pilot study is intended to show the efficacy of intravesical electrical stimulation in treating overactive bladder with or without frequency and/or urgency urinary incontinence.

Read the detailed description

The EMED Technologies detrusetTM intravesical electrical stimulation (IVES) catheter is indicated for use with the EMED detrusanTM 500 electrical generator for the treatment of overactive bladder and urge urinary incontinence (UI) in women who are not satisfied with or cannot tolerate other conservative treatments. EMED is interested in conducting a prospective randomized multi-center study of IVES therapy vs conventional UI treatments. In order to gain sufficient knowledge of the treatment effect and variability of IVES therapy to power an RCT, a pilot study will be initially conducted.

The pilot study is intended to show the efficacy of IVES in treating overactive bladder with or without frequency and/or urgency urinary incontinence with safety profile of IVES being no worse than with standard urological catheters.

A primary endpoint at 3 months showing reduction in incontinence events via a 7-level patient global impression of improvement will be established. Secondary endpoints will include PCI for subsets of symptoms, 3 day voiding diary, and patient satisfaction questionnaires.

Follow up at end of therapy and 3 months from the first therapy session will be conducted. 6-month, 9-month, and 12-month follow up can be conducted to establish durability of IVES therapy if it is found to be effective at 3 months after the first treatment

What participants receive

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

  • EMED detruset(TM) intravesical electrical stimulationDevice

    There will be a total of 8 therapy sessions, each lasting 15 minutes. The sessions will be done in a serial fashion, 2 per week for 4 consecutive weeks. The electrical parameters utilized will be those previously determined to be appropriate for OAB and UUI. As the beneficial effect of electrical stimulation is dependent on a "maximal" level of stimulation, the stimulation voltage will be increased during the first minute of treatment until the maximum tolerated by the patient is established and then backed-off by 1-2 Volts. The therapy will continue for 15 minutes in total for each session. The VAS will be marked by the patient before each treatment session throughout the therapy period, and other questionnaires will be administered.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in incontinence

    Primary endpoint is a reduction in incontinence events at 3 months post treatment as determined by a 7 point patient global impression of improvement

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing EMED detruset(TM) intravesical electrical stimulation in people with Urinary Bladder, Overactive and Urinary Incontinence, Urge, run by Loma Linda University 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 12 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 4 Jan 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

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?

Reduction in incontinence (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT02992509, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 4 Jan 2017.
