Brief Summary

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

Single-site prospective observational pilot feasibility study of women with overactive bladder/urge urinary incontinence undergoing onabotulinum toxin type A intradetrusor injections in order to achieve the following objectives:

* Establish a record of successful collaboration with Dr. Ravel, an expert researcher in the female microbiome based at the University of Maryland
* Demonstrate the investigators' ability to recruit subjects from the diverse population of postmenopausal women undergoing BTX for OAB within MedStar Health Urogynecology clinics
* Collect, process and analyze urine specimens collected prior to and 4-weeks after BTX injection, and to compare the GU microbiome of self-collected versus clinic-collected samples
* Assess response to BTX treatment and explore rates of and risk factors for urinary tract infection and incomplete voiding requiring catheterization within the first 4-weeks after BTX

Detailed Description

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

Participants will be recruited from MedStar Urogynecology clinics. English-speaking postmenopausal natal female \> 55 years old scheduled to undergo BTX for treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) will be eligible for enrollment.

All subjects will be scheduled to undergo Onabotulinum toxin type A intradetrusor injection for management of OAB. On Day 0, subjects will undergo BTX injection by a licensed clinical provider and receive a one-time dose of Nitrofurantoin for infection prevention per standard clinic protocol. Per standard clinic protocol, all patients undergoing BTX receive a one-time dose of oral nitrofurantoin for infection prevention unless they have allergy/contraindication to nitrofurantoin or they are at high risk of UTI (3 or more culture-proven UTIs in the past year). BTX dose, any prior BTX treatments and time since last BTX injection will be recorded.

Voided urine specimens will be collected at the baseline and follow-up visits. Each subject will be asked to complete one self-collection and one clinic-collection at each time point for a total of four collections over the course of the study

Sample size is 40 subjects in this pilot feasibility study. Subjects will be followed for approximately 1 month after BTX injection. Self-collected and clinic-collected urine specimens will be obtained at baseline and 4 weeks after BTX injection. Subjects will also complete baseline questionnaires and validated patient reported outcome measures at baseline and 4 weeks follow-up. Subjects will be provided reimbursement for parking costs ($17/visit) for the procedure visit and for the follow-up visit. Subjects will be provided a payment of $50 upon completion of the follow-up visit activities.
