Trial Outcomes & Findings for Intranasal Oxytocin for the Treatment of Pain Associated With Interstitial Cystitis (NCT NCT00919802)

NCT ID: NCT00919802

Last Updated: 2017-05-23

Results Overview

This is a seven-point symmetric scale previously validated for use in IC studies in which patients are asked relative to baseline (over the last 6 hours for purposes of this study), -3 -are you markedly worse, -2 -moderately worse, -1 -slightly worse, 0-no change, +1-slightly improved, +2-moderately improved, or +3-markedly improved. A +2 or +3 can be defined categorically as a positive treatment response

Measure
Intranasal Oxytocin, Followed by Intranasal Saline
Oxytocin, 40 IU intranasally, once Oxytocin: A single dose of oxytocin 40 IU (20 IU to each nostril) will be dispensed in a random fashion to subjects. Patients will be monitored for one hour by a physician investigator for toxicities and efficacy, and then contacted for follow-up information at 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours. The patient will be asked to return within a one-week period at which time the patient will receive the alternative intranasal agent. Following the second dose, the patient will be monitored for one hour and contact made at 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours as previously described.
Intranasal Saline Followed With Intranasal Oxytocin
Saline, 4ml intranasally, once Patients will be randomized to receive saline as a nasal spray: A single dose of saline will be dispensed in a random fashion to subjects. Patients will be monitored for one hour by a physician investigator for toxicities and efficacy, and then contacted for follow-up information at 2, 4, 6 and 24 hours. The patient will be asked to return within a one-week period at which time they will receive the alternative intranasal agent, Oxytocin a single dose of oxytocin 40 IU (20 IU to each nostril). Following the second dose, the patient will be monitored for one hour and contact made at 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours as previously described.

Measure
Oxytocin
n=25 Participants
Oxytocin, 40 IU intranasally, once Oxytocin: A single dose of oxytocin 40 IU (20 IU to each nostril) will be dispensed in a random fashion to subjects. A log will be kept so that the subject will receive a single does of saline as an alternate agent on the second day if needed.
Saline as a Nasal Spray
n=25 Participants
Saline, 4ml intranasally, once Saline as a nasal spray: A single dose of saline will be dispensed in a random fashion to subjects. A log will be kept so that the subject will receive a single does of oxytocin 40 IU as an alternate agent on the second day if needed.
Change From Baseline Measured as Global Response Assessment (GRA) Score at 6 and 24 Hours

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 hours post drug or placebo administration

A verbal anxiety report (VAR; 0-10 with 0 being no anxiety and 10 being the worst possible anxiety); a change from baseline measure was calculated for value measured 6 hours post drug/placebo administration
