Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare methenamine hippurate prophylaxis to routine antibiotic prophylaxis following onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX-A) injections in women with overactive bladder (OAB). Participants will be randomly selected to receive one of the two post-procedural prophylaxis medications. The primary outcome measure will be urinary tract infection (UTI) rates within 30 days from the BOTOX-A procedure. Secondary outcomes will assess patient satisfaction with the two post-procedural prophylaxis medications.

Detailed Description

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

The purpose of this randomized controlled non-inferiority study is to determine if methenamine hippurate is non-inferior in regards to UTI rate when compared to routinely prescribed antibiotic prophylaxis following intradetrusor BOTOX-A injections for women with OAB. As a secondary aim, this study will also compare patient medication satisfaction, as measured by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Treatment Satisfaction-General (FACIT-TS-G) for the two prophylactic medication arms.

Comparators: Methenamine hippurate versus routinely prescribed antibiotic prophylaxis Methenamine hippurate is an oral non-antibiotic antiseptic medication widely used in the prevention of recurrent UTIs.

164 women will be randomly assigned to each treatment option: 82 to methenamine hippurate and 82 to routinely prescribed antibiotic prophylaxis. The primary outcome of UTI rates within 30 days of the BOTOX-A procedure will be calculated for each study arm. The FACIT-TS-G will be administered to participants at the conclusion of the 30-day period.

Study Groups

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

Typically prescribed oral antibiotic prophylaxis

Typically prescribed oral antibiotic prophylaxis for the purposes of this study is defined as oral antibiotics that are routinely prescribed following BOTOX-A injections for UTI prophylaxis. Given known heterogeneity in antibiotic prophylaxis type and duration as well as the lack of standardized antibiotic recommendations for intradetrusor BOTOX-A injections, the choice of antibiotic prophylaxis is deferred to the physician performing the BOTOX-A injections. The duration of treatment will be standardized to three days, based off previous studies.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Typically prescribed oral antibiotic prophylaxis

Intervention Type DRUG

Drug: typically prescribed oral antibiotic prophylaxis following intradetrusor BOTOX-A injections. This includes, but is not limited to, antibiotic medications such as nitrofurantoin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Dosage will be determined per usual care. Duration of treatment will be standardized to three days.

Methenamine hippurate prophylaxis

Participants in the experimental arm will receive methenamine hippurate 1 gram by mouth twice daily for three days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Methenamine Hippurate

Intervention Type DRUG
