Active clinical trials for "Cystitis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the consistency of therapeutic response of gepotidacin at the Test of cure (TOC) Visit (Days 10 to 13) in female participants with acute uncomplicated cystitis with qualifying bacterial uropathogen(s) at baseline that all are susceptible to nitrofurantoin in Japan, with that from global studies (Studies 204989 [NCT04020341] and 212390 [NCT04187144]).

IT001-310 is a clinical study which compares the effectiveness of oral sulopenem versus oral amoxicillin/clavulanate for the treatment of adult women with uncomplicated urinary tract infection.

To assess the efficacy of oral chlorophyllin tablets for urinary bleeding following radiation therapy for cancers of pelvic organs.

Women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) have debilitating urinary frequency and urgency, and chronic pelvic or bladder pain perceived to be related to the bladder. Although many clinicians think that IC/BPS symptoms result from a bladder problem, tight pelvic floor muscles can cause similar symptoms and might be responsible for ICBPS symptoms instead of the bladder. Inadequate assessment of the problem leads to delays in treatment and often years of suffering. This clinical trial will test a bladder directed therapy (bladder instillations) compared to a course of pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) to assess the role of the pelvic floor as a major contributor to pelvic pain and voiding dysfunction in adult women with non-ulcerative IC/BPS. Early assessment of the pelvic floor muscles in patients with IC/BPS symptoms may prevent common delays in proper diagnosis and allow for early, more effective treatment.

The purpose of this research study is to determine if gentamicin is as effective treatment of acute uncomplicated cystitis (urinary tract infection) using aminoglycosides versus the current standards of care. The current standards of care in our region are often to prescribe a multi-day antibiotic prescription that is taken multiple times per day whereas gentamicin will be a one-time dose in the emergency department. Gentamicin is the medicine being studied.

The aim of this study is to assess whether IW-3300 is safe and works for the treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The main question the study aims to answer is whether IW-3300 helps bladder pain and other symptoms (for example, bladder burning, pressure and discomfort). Subjects will be assigned to receive either the study drug or placebo by chance.

The EPPIC (Easing Pelvic Pain Interventions Clinical Research Program) study evaluates an ultra-brief, 4 session cognitive behavioral pain treatment transdiagnostic in design for urologic chronic pain syndrome (UCPPS) with clinical and practical advantages over existing behavioral therapies whose length and focus limits their adoption by clinicians and coverage for mechanistically similar comorbidities. A theoretically informed, practical, empirically grounded approach will systematically unpack CBT's working mechanisms, clarify for whom it works, ease dissemination, appeal to patients, providers, payers, and policy makers in the COVID-19 era favoring low resource intensity treatments, and reduce cost and inefficiencies associated with high intensity therapies whose complexity, length, and scarcity restricts uptake and impact.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a potentially curative therapy for many malignant or nonmalignant hematological diseases. Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is one of the common and major causes of morbidity in patients undergoing allo-HSCT. Its incidence ranges from 7 to 52%, and its manifestations range from painless microscopic hematuria to severe bladder hemorrhage, leading to clot formation within the urinary tract and even renal failure. This complication results in much pain to the patient and increasing treatment cost. Late-onset HC (two weeks after stem cell infusion) has been associated with reactivation of viruses, including cytomegalovirus, polyoma BK and JC viruses, and adenovirus types I and II. Former studies have confirmed that the bladder is also considered to be one of the immune attacked organs in acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). The classic treatments for HC include hydration, alkalization, and bladder irrigation, immunosuppressant reduction, and platelet transfusion. Patients with viral infection may be treated with antiviral agents, but their efficacy is limited. When the HC was considered to be associated with aGVHD, some immunosuppressive agents such as glucocorticoids will be added in. However, too intensive immunosuppressive measures leave the patients susceptible to infection and, in turn, increases the accidence of non-relapse mortality (NRM). The mechanism underlying the development of HC remains largely unidentified, and its optimal treatment has not yet been established. It is important to explore novel, less-toxic, higher effective, and cost-effective strategies to improve HC. The elevated levels of available oxygen and partial pressure of arterial oxygen provide the main benefits of Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in clinical practice that addresses these areas of inadequate or poor tissue healing. HBOT is utilized as primary or adjunctive therapy for many medical conditions in which tissue damage is triggered by hypoxic injury. The pharmacological and physiologic effects of HBOT have direct and indirect mechanisms and effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS) most beneficial to that of wound healing and antibacterial treatments. HBOT can stimulate fibroblast proliferation, angiogenesis, and wound healing. It has been shown effective in the treatment of radiation-induced HC by promoting fibroblast proliferation and capillary angiogenesis, decreasing edema, and facilitating damaged hypoxic urothelium. Based on the above clinical and pre-clinical practice, the investigators deduce that HBOT may benefit patients with HC after HSCT. In the investigators' limited early-onset investigation, the investigators found HBO was largely successful in 20 patients suffering HC post-allo-HSCT, showed a quick resolution or improvement of HC. The investigators also observed more rapid responses in patients who started HBOT earlier after the diagnosis of HC. The investigators confirmed that HBOT was effective and well-tolerated in the patients, regardless of the infective- or non-infective- caused HC. Therefore, the investigators design this prospective, randomized, and single-arm clinical trial to establish the definitive efficacy and safety of HBOT in patients with HC after allo-HSCT.

Rationale: Efficacy study (RCT) for glycosaminoglycan(GAG)-therapy for the indication bladder pain syndrome / interstitial cystitis with Hunner lesion subtype (BPS-IC H+). reason for this study is a current lack of evidence regarding its efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Main objective is to determine short and long term efficacy of GAG therapy (bladder instillations) for people with BPS-IC H+ as compared to placebo treatment on dominant symptoms such as pain and Quality of Life (QOL)

This trial will study the safety and efficacy of intravenous and intracavernosal or interstitial delivery of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of Peyronie's disease, erectile dysfunction , and Interstitial Cystitis
