Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Two Different Bladder Instillation Treatments for Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Bladder instillation WITH triamcinolone acetonide and Bladder instillation WITHOUT triamcinolone acetonide for Interstitial Cystitis and Bladder Pain Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a condition that results in long-term bladder and pelvic pain. IC/BPS affects women more often than men. How the disorder develops is not completely known. Bladder instillation is a commonly used treatment in which a mixture of different ingredients are passed into the bladder to help IC/BPS symptoms. There is room to learn more about bladder instillations and which ingredients in them work best. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a bladder instillation that contains a steroid (triamcinolone acetonide) to a bladder instillation that does not contain a steroid to treat IC/BPS in women. The study hypothesis is that women with IC/BPS treated with bladder instillations that contain a steroid will have improved outcomes compared to women treated with bladder instillations that do not contain a steroid.
