Filter by:This open-label extension study, for subjects from the G201002 study, will provide additional long-term safety and tolerability data for GTx-024. All subjects in this study will receive GTx-024 3 mg orally, once daily.
The study will enroll only from the first 225 subjects who were randomly assigned to treatment in G201002 (irrespective of the treatment allocation, i.e., GTx-024 or placebo) and who have completed the 12-week treatment period and 16-week durability period to assess the long-term durability of response to GTx-024 on SUI symptoms. The extension study will follow subjects for an additional 20 weeks to help better assess the durability of response in these subjects and will provide additional efficacy and safety data for the subjects. Subjects will not be provided with any study treatments and will be off-drug during this extension study.
The Voiding School is a simple educational intervention to treat children with daytime incontinence or enuresis.The purpose of this study is to implement the intervention in primary care, child welfare clinics. Half of the participated children will receive treatment according the Voiding School protocoll and half of them will receive treatment as usual. Patient outcomes are evaluated by measuring changes in wetting episodes. Aim is also to evaluate the implementation process.
For ageing men, Health related quality of life ( HRQoL) is challenged by two common issues: the onset of bothersome urinary symptoms attributable to prostate enlargement and diminishing ability to maintain normal sexual activity and function; both issues are important to men, yet often the treatment of the former has adverse effects on the latter. Current medical and surgical treatments offer symptomatic improvement of urinary symptoms. However long recovery times, degradation of sexual function and incontinence may negatively affect a patient's QoL. Prostatic urethral lift (PUL) and prostate artery embolization (PAE) represent two evolving techniques with contrasting mechanisms of action (mechanical decompression vs angiographic embolization). Both are minimally invasive, yield relief of urinary symptoms and have similar safety profiles. More importantly neither causes degradation of sexual function or urinary continence. Although multiple studies are being reported on PUL and PAE alike, currently there are no prospective clinical trials comparing these two technologies. We aim to prospectively evaluate and compare HRQol outcomes of PUL and PAE. Results of this study could have a great impact on patient outcomes in men opting for minimally invasive, sexual function sparing treatment options for symptom relief from prostate enlargement.
The purpose of this study is to compare two methods for assessing patients with pelvic organ prolapse for occult stress urinary incontinence. Urodynamic testing is the most widely accepted and well-studied method for diagnosing occult stress urinary incontinence preoperatively, but an ambulatory pessary trial is a less expensive option that is available to a wider group of practitioners and evaluates patient while they are engaged in their daily activities.
The study will investigate the safety and efficacy of UroGen's TC-3 Gel for sustained release of Botulinum Toxin A (BTX) in urinary bladder in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder.
We propose a randomized non-blinded comparison of standard vs. transcorporal approach for placement of an artificial urinary sphincter in male patients with stress urinary incontinence after radiation and radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. In the United States, the artificial urinary sphincter (AUS), manufactured by American Medical Systems, is the gold standard surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in men. The cuff, which is the portion of the device that encircles and occludes the urethra, is typically placed directly around the urethra (i.e., "standard" placement). The cuff can erode into the urethra. Transcorporal placement has been introduced as a method to reduce the risk of erosion. Transcorporal placement involves tunneling the cuff through the erectile bodies so as to protect the dorsal aspect of the urethra. This approach has never been compared to standard placement in a randomized fashion. In our randomized trial, no additional procedures beyond the normal care protocol will be required of the patients. We will conduct the study through our established, IRB-approved multi-institutional network of surgeons. Success will be assessed via objective and subjective methods; complications will be tallied in a standardized fashion. Outcomes will be measured at two years.
The purpose of this pivotal study is to illustrate the safety and effectiveness of the StimGuard Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS) System in the treatment refractory urge incontinence. This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center, study in which 92 subjects will receive a StimGuard SNS System.
Constipation treatment has been found to ameliorate symptoms in some patients with nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting at night). This study aims to explore if treatment of patients without overt constipation (As defined by the ROME III criteria) will also respond to stool softening and GI behavioral therapy with reduction of their urinary tract symptoms when added to standard urotherapy.
Urinary incontinences is a highly prevalent and distressing condition which has a significant impact on health related quality of life in millions of women worldwide. Of all women with incontinence, 90% will have overactive bladder symptoms (OAB), and 50% will have detrusor overactivity (DO) on cystometry. The overactive bladder syndrome is defined by the International Continence society as "Urinary urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia if there is a no infection or proven pathology" (Abrams et al 2002) Initial management of OAB and DO consists of conservative measures such as altering fluid intake, bladder retraining and drug therapy. The next step consists of interventions such as cystoscopy and urethral dilatation, on the basis that it will allow intrinsic bladder problems such as interstitial cystitis to excluded, excluded, and may confer a symptomatic benefit. The original study showed no benefit of urethral dilatation versus no dilatation at 6 months follow up (Duckett 2007). The investigators do not know the natural history of patients with voiding dysfunction. Therefore reviewing their symptoms will give a better idea of what happens to these patients symptoms over time.
