Active clinical trials for "Cystitis, Interstitial"

This is a pilot clinical investigation. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria and provide signed informed consent will be randomized to receive either an active product (Uracyst®) or placebo intravesically via a bladder catheter weekly for 6 weeks, followed by 6 weeks of follow-up period.

A total of 40 volunteers women with a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis. Their ages ranged from 25 to 40 years old; their body mass index was > 30 kg/m2 and were randomly assigned to a group (A) received interferential current at the lower abdomen, and also received traditional medicine or group (B) received traditional medicine for 8 successive weeks. Both of the groups received the treatment program for 8 successive weeks. Assessment of pain perception and disability level for all patients in both groups (A&B) were done through Visual analogue scale, O'Leary-Sant Symptom Index or Interstitial Cystitis Index (ICSI) and blood cortisol concentration were done before and after the treatment program.

The hypothesis for this study is that bilateral sacral neuromodulation will improve symptoms of interstitial cystitis by at least 25% when compared to unilateral sacral neuromodulation as reported by patient's responses to the Interstitial Cystitis Symptom and Problem Indices. This study will be a prospective randomized study comparing bilateral to unilateral sacral neuromodulation. The study population will include all patients diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, using the NIDDK criteria, having staged sacral neuromodulator stimulators placed at Hahnemann University Hospital.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate if LiRIS 400 mg is safe and tolerable when administered to women with Interstitial Cystitis with Hunner's lesions, and to evaluate any change in the bladder or in IC symptoms, following LiRIS administration.

The specific purpose of this study is to provide objective data in prospective open label design (n=40) to support the use of Mirabegron as a treatment for pain related urinary frequency and urgency. Women with bladder pain have a poor response to traditional anticholinergic therapy for their symptoms of frequency and urgency.

This study seeks to exploit bladder cannabidiol receptors as a therapeutic drug target by conducting a double-masked, placebo-controlled randomized trial evaluating the effects of vaginal hemp cannabidiol (CBD) suppositories on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), pain severity, and sexual function.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of fremanezumab in reducing pain in patients with interstitial cystitis-bladder pain syndrome (IC-BPS). A secondary efficacy objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of fremanezumab on other efficacy measures, including pain, voiding frequency, urinary symptoms, and quality of life. And another secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of fremanezumab administered subcutaneously in adult patients with IC-BPS. The planned active study period is 8 weeks; the entire planned study duration for each patient is 13 weeks.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, exploratory study of orally administered ERB-041 in subjects with active IC. The primary objectives of this study will be to investigate ERB-041's activity on levels of urinary APF, explore the gene expression response in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and to evaluate the safety of ERB-041 in women with active IC.

In this protocol, investigators are examining the ability for a novel multiplex PCR assay with mixed floral antibiotic resistance profiling is safe and increases effective treatment for urinary tract infections in a urology clinic over traditional culture methods alone and decreases retreatment rates in this population.

This initial pilot project aims to study the use of FDA-approved 40mg triamcinolone injections in the bladder for the management of interstitial cystitis with or without Hunner's lesions. Intradetrusor triamcinolone injections are already the standard of care for IC patients with Hunner's lesions, but its role in management of IC without Hunner's lesions has yet to be determined. Triamcinolone is a long-acting corticosteroid that acts by inhibiting the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which may contribute to attenuation of inflammation in interstitial cystitis. We will recruit 27 females 18 years of age or older that have been diagnosed with IC/BPS. Patients will undergo a one-time cystoscopy along with the triamcinolone injections for IC management as a part of the research study. Validated questionnaires will be provided before the treatment to quantify symptoms at baseline and after treatment at follow-up visits. Follow up visits will occur in clinic every 4 to 6 weeks, which will continue for a maximum of 1 year. Scores at follow-up visits will be compared to baseline.
