Trial summary

An altered urinary microbiome (UM) may explain the symptoms in overactive bladder (OAB) patients who were previously considered to have "idiopathic" OAB. To date, most research on the relationship between OAB and the UM has focused on differentiating between the UM of a normal bladder and that of an OAB bladder. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Urinary Microbiome Before and After Treatment With Intradetrusor Onabotulinum Toxin A Injection for Overactive Bladder

An altered urinary microbiome (UM) may explain the symptoms in overactive bladder (OAB) patients who were previously considered to have "idiopathic" OAB. To date, most research on the relationship between OAB and the UM has focused on differentiating between the UM of a normal bladder and that of an OAB bladder. There is currently a paucity of data on the way that OAB therapy impacts the UM. One of the few studies to evaluate the UM pre- and post-OAB treatment focused on how management with solifenacin affected the UM, but no studies have evaluated how intravesical onabotulinumtoxin A injections (IOI) affects the UM. Understanding IOI's impact on the UM is particularly interesting because despite both anticholinergics and IOI exerting antimuscarinic affects on the bladder, IOI is often successful when anticholinergics are not. This raises the question of what other mechanisms of action IOI may have in the bladders of OAB patients - one hypothesis is that it might stabilize the UM in those select patients who suffer from OAB due to an altered UM. The primary objective of this study is therefore to determine the UM profiles of OAB patients before and after treatment with IOI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Urinary Microbiome

    To evaluate whether administration of intradetrusor botox injections for the treatment of overactive bladder results in changes to the urinary microbiome.

    Measured: 08/2020 - 08/2021

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Urinary Microbiome by response

    To evaluate whether there are differences between responders and non-responders to intradetrusor botox injections in the pre- and post-treatment urinary microbiomes.

    Measured: 08/2020 - 08/2021

  2. Urinary tract infection

    Determine if there is a relationship between pre- or post-intradetrusor botox injection and the rate of urinary tract infection.

    Measured: 08/2020 - 08/2021

  3. Adverse events

    Adverse events from intradetrusor botox injection

    Measured: 08/2020 - 08/2021

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Overactive Bladder, run by MetroHealth Medical Center 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 4 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 15 Feb 2024. 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?

Urinary Microbiome (time frame: 08/2020 - 08/2021). 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 NCT04479709, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Feb 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
