Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study is an open label, prospective, feasibility study with the Nolix device used for temporary treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) in subjects, serving as their own controls.
Detailed Description
This is an open label, prospective, feasibility study with the Nolix device used in subjects with SUI, serving as their own controls. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness (both objective and subjective) and safety of the Nolix device when used for the temporary management of SUI in women. In addition, the study is aimed to evaluate changes in the quality of life (QoL) and comfort during use of the Nolix device. The primary effectiveness endpoint is the percent change in the mean Pad Weight Gain (%PWG) between the device (during the last 7 days of the 14-days Nolix use period) and control periods , with the success criterion defined as at least >-50% of the mean %PWG change during the last 7 days of the treatment phase as compared to the control phase. Additional effectiveness endpoints include the number of self-reported SUI episodes per week, the percentage of subjects who experience a greater than -50% change in the number of self-reported daily incontinence episodes, as well as the changes in the QoL, leak scores and overall satisfaction levels. The safety of the Nolix device is also evaluated by assessing the adverse events, including the results of urinalysis, vaginal swab, and vaginal examination.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Device-related adverse events
Time Frame: 21 days
Discomfort / pain, vaginal irritation or itching, vaginal spotting, vaginal or urinary tract infections
Mean pad weight gain (PWG) change of >50% when comparing the PWG control phase as compared to the Nolix device phase.
Time Frame: 21 days
The primary effectiveness endpoint is the percent change in the mean Pad Weight Gain (%PWG) between the device (during the last 7 days of the 14-days Nolix use period) and control periods , with the success criterion defined as at least \>50% of the mean %PWG reduction during the last 7 days of the treatment phase as compared to the control phase.
