简要总结
Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) is a poorly understood chronic disorder of unknown etiology consisting of irritative bladder symptoms and pelvic pain that dramatically affects quality of life.
Preclinical study data (obtained by using an IC/PBS model in Sprague-Dawley female rats) have demonstrated normalization of urinary frequency indicating that LP may be a potent protectant of the bladder mucosa against inflammation and irritation. Intravesical LP has so far demonstrated an excellent safety profile and minimal toxicity at concentrations of 2 mg/ml. Thus, we hypothesize that intravesical instillation of LP may form a molecular film on bladder ulcer surfaces in patients with IC and provide a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment option to alleviating symptoms.
详细描述
Liposomes (LP), the treatment article in this proposal, were discovered in the process of exploring a "control" compound when measuring the efficacy of liposomally encapsulated capsaicin for the intravesical treatment of interstitial cystitis. Liposomes are lipid vesicles composed of concentric phospholipid bilayers, which enclose an aqueous interior. Liposomes have the ability to form a molecular film on cell and tissue surfaces and are currently being tested as possible therapeutic agents to promote wound healing. Application of liposomes at the wound surface provides a moist protective film over the wound and augments wound healing without chronic inflammatory reactions in the neodermal layer.

- •Willing and capable of understanding and complying with all requirements of the protocol, including proper completion of the voiding diaries and self-administered questionnaires
排除标准
- •• Subjects currently taking prescribed medications for IC/PBS will be able to continue the medications throughout the course of the study. If the patient cannot be maintained on a stable dose of the medication(s) throughout the treatment and follow-up period they will be excluded.
- •Subjects must not have had intravesical treatment(s)/bladder installations of the following medications: dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), lidocaine and/or heparin within 1 month prior to study visit 1
- •Pregnant or lactating
- •History of bleeding diathesis
- •Currently on anticoagulant therapy (e.g. warfarin, clopidogrel)
- •Active bleeding peptic ulcer disease
- •Obvious neurological impairment which may be affecting bladder function
- •Known allergy to liposomes and/or egg yolk
- •Current or previous participation in another therapeutic or device study within 6 months of the screening visit
- •The presence of any clinically significant systemic disease or condition that in the opinion of the investigator would make the patient unsuitable for the study
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Symptom Severity at 4 and 8 Weeks Post-Treatment as Measured by the Total O'Leary-Sant IC Symptom and Problem Index (ICSI/ICPI) Score
时间窗: 4 and 8 weeks post-treatment
The O'Leary-Sant IC Symptom Index (ICS-I) total score ranges from 0 to 20 and the Problem Index (ICP-I) total score ranges from 0 to 16. Each index has 4 questions and lower scores represent a better outcome. A total ICSI/ICPI score is obtained by adding the total scores from both indices. The combined ICSI/ICPI total score ranges from 0 to 36.
次要结局
- Change in Pain Scores at 4 and 8 Weeks Post-Treatment as Measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)(4 and 8 weeks post-treatment)
