Trial Outcomes & Findings for Inflammation in Women With Urgency Urinary Incontinence Treated With Anticholinergics (NCT NCT04090190)

NCT ID: NCT04090190

Last Updated: 2022-11-15

Results Overview

Statistical testing was used to determine if there was a difference in inflammatory markers in the urine of patients between baseline visit and 6 week visit. 7 markers were chosen and compared, all inflammatory markers present in urine.

Standard of Care Anticholinergic Treatment
Women presenting to the Urogynecology clinic with urgency urinary incontinence symptoms will receive standard of care anticholinergic treatment and will have their urinary microbiome evaluated before and after treatment Oxybutynin, Solifenacin, Tolterodine, Sanctura or Toviaz: Study participants will be evaluated for urgency urinary incontinence and will be offered treatment with a standard of care anticholinergic medication for 6 weeks. All study participants will fill out the UDI-6 and two day bladder diary at baseline before starting anticholinergic medication treatment. Participants will then provide a urine sample and blood draw to be assessed for urinary microbiome and inflammation. Anticholinergic medication will be taken daily for 6 weeks and the same procedures (UDI-6 questionnaire, bladder diary, urine sample except the blood draw for assessment) will be performed at the 6-week time period.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 weeks

Population: 20 patients were involved in the study, however only 13 returned for follow-up, hence 13 patients involved in "follow-up" group.

Statistical testing was used to determine if there was a difference in inflammatory markers in the urine of patients between baseline visit and 6 week visit. 7 markers were chosen and compared, all inflammatory markers present in urine.
