Wireless, Implantable Tibial Nerve Stimulator System (eCoin™) for the Treatment of Refractory Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Patients With MS

Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Prospective, Single Arm, Interventional, Self-controlled Pilot Study to Assess the Performance and Safety of the New Generation, Wireless, Implantable Tibial Nerve Stimulator System (eCoin™) for the Treatment of Refractory Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

Prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients with MS increases with disease duration. Current management of urinary clinical symptoms in MS is mainly conservative. Its long-term outcome is often poor because of the progressive disease course and the treatment related side effects. Alternative therapeutic options are botulinum toxin injections, electrical stimulation of dorsal penile/clitoral nerve, and sacral nerve modulation. Posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is a second minimally-invasive method of electrical stimulation. Multiple benefits may derive from the development and validation of a dedicated protocol of a new self-activated neuromodulation therapy, which may improve therapy compliance/effectiveness, quality of life and social life in MS patients with refractory LUTS. Furthermore, it may contribute to reduce outpatient visits, health costs and work absenteeism. To investigate the performance and safety of the medical device eCoin™ for the treatment of refractory LUTS in patients with MS over a period of 6 months.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a prospective, interventional, single arm, self-controlled pilot study in patients with multiple sclerosis and OAB symptoms with a 6-month treatment period of posterior tibial nerve stimulation with the medical device eCoin. It is a pilot study to explore the effectiveness and safety of using this device to treat MS patients with OAB in daily clinical practice in. Based on feasibility considerations, we plan to include approximately 20 patients. It consists of: 1. wash-out period from PTNS treatment of at least 2 months; 2. baseline assessments; 3. implantation of eCoin; 4. system activation; and 5. treatment and follow-up visits for a 6-month period post implant activation. Seven Visits are foreseen during the trial. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
