Phase 1 Study With OAB Assessing the Safety and Activity of hMaxi-K Gene Transfer (OAB)
Overactive Bladder
About this trial
This is an interventional other trial for Overactive Bladder focused on measuring Overactive Bladder, OAB, gene therapy
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Healthy women of ≥18 years of age and non-childbearing potential
Symptoms of overactive bladder for ≥6 months including at least one of the following:
- Frequent micturition ≥8 times per 24 hours
- Urinary urgency or nocturia
- Urge urinary incontinence five or more incontinence episodes per week
- Detrusor overactivity with ≥1 uncontrolled phasic contraction(s) of the detrusor of at least 5 centimeters/H20 pressure documented on cystometry at Screening Visit 1A
- Residual urine volume of ≤200 milliliters (ml)
- Non-response or poor tolerance to previous treatment for symptoms of OAB/urinary incontinence and do not wish to continue these treatments
- Have screening laboratory values and electrocardiogram that are within the normal range
- Able to understand study requirements (i.e., literate in English), give written informed consent, and comply with all study procedures and requirements.
Exclusion Criteria:
- A woman with a positive serum (HCG) pregnancy test or who is lactating
- History of three or more culture-documented recurrent urinary tract infections per year
- Current history or previous diagnosis of painful bladder syndrome (interstitial cystitis) with pain in the region of the pelvis, perineum, or lower abdomen relieved by voiding
- Current history of neurological bladder dysfunction
- A life expectancy of less than 12 months
- Current history of Grade 2 or greater cystocele
- An indwelling urethral catheter or need for clean intermittent self-catheterization
- Recent heart attack
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Latex allergy
- Stress urinary incontinence as determined by observation of the participant coughing while standing with a full bladder and/or response of 2 or 3 on the following Stress Urinary Incontinence question: Do you experience leakage when laughing, coughing, lifting heavy objects or other types of discreet, moderately intense activities? 0=NONE: No leakage. 1=MILD: Minimal leakage on rare occasions during these types of activities; easily tolerated; do not use pads for this. 2=MODERATE: Enough leakage that it requires occasional use of pads and may interfere with usual activity and tasks. 3=SEVERE: Extreme leakage and discomfort that stops all activity and tasks and requires the use of pads on all occasions

Placebo (PBS-20% sucrose)
hMaxi-K 16000 µg
hMaxi-K 24000 µg
PBS-20% sucrose administered during two single-treatment dose levels (16000 micrograms [µg] and 24000 µg) by direct bladder wall intramuscular injections, 20 to 30 injections depending on active dose comparator.
Single treatment (16000 µg by 20 intramuscular injections). A total of 6 participants will receive hMaxi-K, and 3 will receive placebo.
Single treatment (24000 µg by 30 intramuscular injections). A total of 6 participants will receive hMaxi-K, and 3 will receive placebo.
