Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to see whether Botox A (injected into the bladder muscle) can improve symptoms of urge incontinence that has not improved with usual medical treatments.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Women who suffer with urge incontinence may not get relief with usual medical treatment (such as medications or behavioral techniques). We plan to enroll women with refractory urge incontinence in centers across the US. Study participants will undergo cystoscopy (telescope look into the bladder) and injection of either Botox A or placebo. If symptoms are not adequately relieved, subjects participants will receive a second injection that is Botox A. Participants are interviewed monthly by study personnel to determine symptoms and health status.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Botox A

up to two injections of 200 Units of intra-detrusor Botulinum Toxin A , which must be separated by at least eight weeks and no more than 52 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Botulinum Toxin A, bladder detrusor muscle injection

Intervention Type DRUG

200 U provided as a total of 6 cc of the masked substance into approximately 15 to 20 different detrusor muscle sites under direct visualization. Injections will be spread out to equally cover the entire dome of the bladder, but spare the bladder trigone and ureteral orifices.

Placebo

up to two injections of inactive injection (carrier saline), which must be separated by at least eight weeks and no more than 52 weeks

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Vehicle saline as placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

A total of 6 cc of the masked substance into approximately 15 to 20 different detrusor muscle sites under direct visualization. Injections will be spread out to equally cover the entire dome of the bladder, but spare the bladder trigone and ureteral orifices
