About this study

Official title: The Effect of Intravesical Lidocaine Solution Versus Placebo as Anesthesia Prior to Intravesical Injection of Onabotulinum Toxin A. A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Cross-over Study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Lidocaine solution versus placebo (isotonic Sodium Chloride NaCl) disposed inside the urinary bladder as intravesical anesthesia prior to onabotulinum toxin A injections in the treatment of urgency urinary incontinence.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to investigate if bladder installed Lidocaine solution have an effect on reported pain during BTX-A injections compared to placebo.

The study participants will be recruited from the existing patient populations enrolled in the BTX-A program of the tertiary Urogynaecological Clinic of Herlev University Hospital.

The participants are randomized to:

  1. Active drug: Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Sodium hydrogen carbonate
  2. Placebo: Sodium Chloride

The study includes 5 study visits:

Visit 1:

  • First treatment day
  • Randomization
  • Registration of pre-treatment pain relief medications: paracetamol, ibuprofen, or other medications. If pre-treatment pain relief is taken before first treatment, same pain relief should be taken before second treatment day (visit 4) in order to reduce bias
  • Registration of antibiotic treatment: current antibiotic treatment or long-term prophylactic antibiotic for prevention of recurrent UTI The participant receives the active treatment or placebo, double-blinded
  • The participant is asked to grade the intensity of pain according to VAS score immediately after, and when participant has been dressed after the BTX-A injections

Visit 2 (by telephone):

  • Phone consultation 1 week after treatment:
  • The participant's experience on the procedure on a 5-point ordinal scale: "1- very unsatisfied", "2- unsatisfied", "3- neither unsatisfied or satisfied", "4- satisfied", "5-very satisfied"

Side effects:

  • Questions on symptoms of UTI: dysuria, cloudy urine, pollakiuria, nocturia
  • Hematuria
  • Inability to empty the bladder
  • Other symptoms (Visit 3:)
  • The participant contacts the Clinic for next treatment approximately 6-12 months later
  • Sponsor or investigator from the Urogynecological Clinic reach out for the participant asking on symptoms of UUI if the participant has not contacted the clinic within 12 months

Visit 4:

  • Second treatment day
  • The participant receives the opposite treatment, still double-blinded
  • Registration of pre-treatment pain relief medications: paracetamol, ibuprofen, or other medications
  • Registration of antibiotic treatment: current antibiotic treatment or long-term prophylactic antibiotic for prevention of recurrent UTI
  • The participant is asked to grade the intensity of pain according to VAS score immediately after, and when participant has been dressed after the BTX-A injections

Visit 5(by telephone):

  • Phone consultation 1 week after treatment:
  • The participant's experience on the procedure on a 5-point scale: "1- very unsatisfied", "2- unsatisfied", "3- neither unsatisfied or satisfied", "4- satisfied", "5-very satisfied"

Side effects:

  • Questions on symptoms of UTI: dysuria, cloudy urine, pollakiuria nocturia,
  • Hematuria
  • Inability to empty the bladder
  • Other symptoms

What is being measured

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

  1. 100 mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score

    The maximum pain score reported by using VAS

    Measured: The participant is handed the VAS in paper form and asked to grade the intensity of pain according to the VAS by making a handwritten mark on the VAS immediately after the BTX-A injections

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Post-void residual requiring Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC)

    The participant is contacted after each treatment and asked about any inability to empty the bladder

    Measured: Phone consultation one week after each treatment

  2. Urinary tract infection (UTI)

    The participant is contacted after each treatment and asked about symptoms of UTI: Dysuria, cloudy urine, pollakiuria, nocturia

    Measured: Phone consultation one week after each treatment

  3. Hematuria

    The participant is contacted after each treatment and asked about blood in the urine

    Measured: Phone consultation one week after each treatment

  4. 5-point rating scale

    The participant is contacted one week after every treatment and asked about the experience on the procedure. The participant's experience on the procedure on a 5-point ordinal scale: "1- very unsatis-fied", "2- unsatisfied", "3- neither unsatisfied or satisfied", "4- satisfied", "5-very satisfied"

    Measured: Phone consultation one week after each treatment

Model description
The study is a randomized, controlled, double-blinded, crossover study. The participants are their own control in the evaluation of the effect of intravesical alkalinized Lidocaine solution versus placebo as anesthesia prior to intravesical injection of onabotulinum toxin A. The chosen model is advantageous as a smaller sample size is needed, and error variance is reduced.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Alkalinized Lidocaine in people with Urge Incontinence and Overactive Bladder, run by Herlev and Gentofte Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2022. 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 Denmark. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Meryam El Issaoui, MD (+4553252379, meryam.el.issaoui.01@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

100 mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score (time frame: The participant is handed the VAS in paper form and asked to grade the intensity of pain according to the VAS by making a handwritten mark on the VAS immediately after the BTX-A injections). 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 NCT05415865, which also lists 19 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 22 Sep 2022.
