Evaluation of Botulinum Toxin A Alone Versus Botulinum Toxin A With Hydrodistension for Treatment of Overactive Bladder

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Overactive Bladder
Interventions
Drug: Botulinum toxin-A
Procedure: Hydrodistention
Registration Number
NCT02995967
Lead Sponsor
University of Alabama at Birmingham
Brief Summary

The specific aim of this trial is to determine if hydrodistention at the time of intradetrusor injection of botulinum toxin A has additional benefit in patients with refractory overactive bladder (OAB) and urgency symptoms compared to intradetrusor injection of botulinum toxin A alone.

Consented patients will be randomized to hydrodistention at a pressure of 80 cm H2O for 5 minutes, prior to the intradetrusor injection of 100 units of botulinum toxin A (hydrodistention group) or intradetrusor injection of 100 units of botulinum toxin A alone (botulinum toxin A alone group).

The primary aim will be subjective improvement measured as change from baseline at 12 weeks using the OAB-q bother subscale.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Symptom Bother12 weeks

The primary outcome will be measured as change from baseline at 12 weeks using the OAB-q bother subscale which consists of eight questions assessing symptom bother with a possible score from 0 to 100 with a higher score indicating greater symptom bother.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Subjects Requiring Clean Intermittent Self-catheterization2 weeks

Proportion of subjects requiring clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) post-operatively as reported at 2 week post-operative visit. CISC will be initiated at post-void residual volumes of \> 300 mL or \> 150 mL in the presence of bothersome retention symptoms.

Post Void Residual Volume2 weeks

Post-void residual volume (PVR) at the 2 week follow-up visit measured with catheter or bladder scan.

Rate of UTI2 weeks

Rate of urinary tract infection (UTI) as assessed by positive urine culture in patients having symptoms (dysuria, urgency, frequency, temperature ≥ 38 degrees Celcius, and/or suprapubic pain) at the 2 weeks post-operative visit. Subjects who call throughout the study complaining of symptoms but are unable to give a urine culture in clinic will also be treated and reported as having had a UTI.

Urge Urinary Incontinence Episodes12 weeks

Number of UUI episodes as reported in a 3-day bladder diary at 12 weeks as measured in change from baseline.

Total Number of Voids12 weeks

Total number of voids reported in the 3-day bladder diary at 12 weeks as measured in change from baseline.

Quality of Life Measures24 weeks

Subjective outcome at 24 weeks using the OAB-q

Patient Impression of Improvement12 weeks

Patient global impression of improvement at 12 weeks as measured using the Patient Global Impression of Improvement Questionnaire (PGI-I).

Patient Satisfaction12 weeks

Patient satisfaction at 12 weeks as measured using Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ).
