Last Updated: 2024-04-09

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 48 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2023-06-09
• Study Completion Date: 2024-02-01

Brief Summary

The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to assess the safety, usability and initial efficacy of Xeomin and Vibe combination (ViXe) compared to placebo + sham in female subjects with idiopathic Overactive Bladder. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • The rate of device and drug related serious adverse events during treatment and throughout the follow up period • Investigator, subject and technician satisfaction from treatment, and • Assess the initial efficacy of the drug-device combination compared to placebo-sham combination. Participants will be treated a single time with the ViXe combination and will be followed up for a period of 12 weeks, during which they will visit the clinic after 2, 6 and 12 weeks. Participants will complete a 3-day voiding diary prior to the 6- and 12-week FU visit.

Study Groups

ViXe Combination

This arm includes a combination of the Xeomin medication, a generic of the Botulinium Toxin A drug that is not currently approved for this indication, and the Vibe medical device, an experimental device for the delivery of Botulinium Toxin to the bladder for overactive bladder

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

ViXe Xombination

Intervention Type: COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Combination of Xeomin and the ultrasound based delivery system (Vibe) for intravesical administration of the drug in a minimally invasive procedure

Placebo + Sham

The placebo that will be used in the study is identical in its physical properties to the investigational drug and will be used in the same manner as the active drug. Sham procedure will include all the steps for device preparation and activation, without the actual transmission of ultrasound eneregy to the participant.

Group Type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo + Sham

Intervention Type: COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Placebo identical in package and appearance to Xeomin together with all steps of Vibe device preparation and activation, but without the actual operation of the ultrasound energy
