Clinical Trial for the Assessment of Safety, Usability and Efficacy of the Vixe Combination for OAB in Female Subjects
- Conditions
- Overactive Bladder
- Interventions
- Combination Product: ViXe XombinationCombination Product: Placebo + Sham
- Registration Number
- NCT06345677
- Lead Sponsor
- Vensica Therapeutics Ltd.
- 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.

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description ViXe Combination ViXe Xombination 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 Placebo + Sham 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.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Adverse Events Rate 12 weeks Incidence of drug and device related adverse events from treatment to 12-weeks post treatment
Usability and ease-of-use perception by investigator, subject and technician Procedure Satisfaction of investigator, participant and technicain from the treatment, as assessed by the sponsor designed usability questionnaire.
Investigator's questionnaire consists of 43 questions on a scale of 1-7 each (total range 43-301). The higher the total score, the better the investigator satisfaction. Subject usability questionnaire consists of 11 questions on a scale of 0-10 (total range 0-110). Thr higher the score, the more statisfied the subject from the treatment. Technician's questionnaire consists of yes/no questions only.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Urinary Urgency 12 weeks Mean Change from baseline in Urinary grade 3 or 4 Urgency Episodes at 6 and 12-weeks post treatment based on a 3-day voiding diary
Daily Urgency Urinary Incontinence 12 weeks Mean change from baseline in the average number of daily Urgency Urinary Incontinence (UUI) Episodes at 6 and 12-weeks post treatment based on a 3-day voiding diary
Nocturia 12 weeks Mean change from baseline in the average number of daily Nocturia episodes at 6 and 12-weeks post treatment based on a 3-day voiding diary
Total Daily Episodes 12 weeks Mean change from Baseline in the average number of daily voiding episodes at 6 and 12-weeks post treatment based on a 3-day voiding diary
Voiding Leaks 12 weeks Mean change from baseline in Number of large leaks at 6 and 12-weeks post treatment based on a 3-day voiding diary
Quality of Life Queationnsaire 12 weeks Change from baseline in OAB-q (Overactive Bladder - quality) total score at week 12. OAB-q is a two-domain questionnaire (symptom bother and health related quality of life), each of which is a 100-point scale. Higher scores reflect higher quality of life.
