Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

A physician sponsored Investigation New Drug (IN) has been acquired from the FDA for compassionate use of this non-approved treatment in one patient from Dr. Peters' private practice. Since this treatment has not been used previously in the US, we propose to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment in this one patient by comparing pre and post treatment symptom changes.

Prior to treatment (visit 1) baseline measures will be assessed: vital signs,pelvic/bladder pain on a visual analog scale (VAS; "0" being none and "10" being severe), concomitant medications, Serum pregnancy test and Antiphospholipid Antibody Panel, Urine cytology, urinalysis (dipstick), and culture.

At visits 2-5 (4 treatment visits) questionnaires will be completed and vital signs, pain VAS, post void residual (measured by bladder scan or catheter), unanticipated events, and voiding history (voiding diary) will also be assessed. Additionally, cystoscopy will be done prior to the first treatment to view the bladder lining. At each treatment visit, the patients will have a solution of liposomes instilled in the bladder with a catheter, retained for 30 minutes, and be carefully monitored for at least 1 hour after the liposomes are drained.

After treatment, visits 6 and 7 (follow up) will include vital signs with VAS pain assessment, post void residual (PVR), urinalysis (dipstick), unanticipated events assessment, questionnaire completion and review of voiding diary. Visit 8 (study exit) will include the same parameters measured at follow up visits 6 and 7 with the addition of cystoscopy and Antiphospholipid Antibody Panel testing.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Symptom and Problem Severity
Time Frame: Baseline to 12 weeks
The primary objective is to determine the impact of 4 weekly bladder instillations of liposomes on symptoms in one patient with ulcerative interstitial cystitis (IC). The primary endpoint will be assessed at the end of the study, 8 weeks after the last bladder instillation, and will be measured by the O'Leary-Sant IC Symptom and Problem Indices (ICSI-PI) questionnaire. The ICSI is composed of 4 questions that address the occurrence of IC symptoms, specifically urinary urgency, frequency, nocturia, and bladder pain. Scores range from 0 (Not at All) to 5 (Almost Always). The IC Problem Indices questionnaire is also composed of 4 questions. Each question asks the patient to indicate how big a problem each of the 4 symptoms are to them. Scores range from 0 (No Problem) to 4 (Big Problem). Responses to all 8 questions are added together to create a total ICSI-PI score. The total ICSI-PI scores ranges from 0 to 36. A lower score indicates less IC symptoms and/or related problem
Baseline to 12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Bladder Appearance
Time Frame: Baseline to 12 Weeks
The secondary objective to assess treatment efficacy will compare the number of bladder ulcers pre-treatment to the number of ulcers visualized at 12 weeks, the end of the study.
Baseline to 12 Weeks
