Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purposes of this study are:
  1. To provide evidence from a randomized controlled trial that InterStim Therapy provides better relief of symptoms of OAB than standard medical treatments in current use.

  2. To fulfill the requirements of the FDA-mandated post-approval study of the safety of the tined lead using a minimally invasive approach.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: InterStim
  • Drug: Standard Medical Therapy
Phase 4

Detailed Description

Approximately 30 million Americans meet the criteria for overactive bladder (OAB). Urinary voiding dysfunction symptoms impose a significant physical and psychosocial impact on individuals, including loss of self-esteem and a decrease in the ability to maintain an independent lifestyle. These symptoms can substantially affect a subject's daily activities.

Patients with OAB are managed with diet modification, bladder training or retraining, pelvic muscle rehabilitation, medication and biofeedback. Medications are used as the first-line therapy for urgency frequency and urinary urge incontinence.

InterStim Therapy utilizes sacral nerve stimulation and is indicated in the US for the treatment of urinary retention and the symptoms of OAB, including urinary urge incontinence and significant symptoms of urgency-frequency alone or in combination, in subjects who have failed or could not tolerate more conservative treatments.

InSite OAB Protocol 1634 consists of two phases; Phase I which is the randomized portion of the trail and Phase II the non-randomized portion.

Phase 1: A minimum of 60 subjects randomized to InterStim and a minimum of 60 subjects randomized to SMT.

Phase 2: Non-randomized, all qualified subjects will receive InterStim, approximately 297 enrolled Subjects previously enrolled in Protocol 1634 for Urinary Urge Incontinence and Protocol 1635 for Urgency-Frequency will be included in Phase I of the new Protocol 1634 of OAB.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Randomized Cohort: OAB Therapeutic Response [6 months]

    To demonstrate that the OAB therapeutic response rate at 6 months is greater for the InterStim therapy group than for the Standard Medical Therapy group. OAB therapeutic response rate was calculated as number of subjects with OAB therapeutic response divided by number of subjects included in the analysis. OAB therapeutic response was defined as: at least 50% or greater improvement in average leaks/day from baseline for subjects with urinary incontinence at baseline or at least 50% improvement in average voids/day from baseline or a return to normal voiding frequency (<8 voids/day) for subjects with urgency-frequency at baseline.

  2. All Implanted Cohort: Adverse Events Related to the Tined Lead That Require Surgery [5 years]

    To demonstrate that the upper bound of the 95% CI for the cumulative five-year rate of adverse events related to the tined lead that require surgery is less than 0.33. Adverse events on or after neurostimulator implant with an etiology of lead and with an intervention of surgical intervention/revision are the event of interest.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. All Implanted Cohort: Tined Lead Migration Rate [5 years]

    To estimate the suspected cumulative tined lead migration rate at 5 years in subjects with a full system implant. Suspected tined lead migration resulting in an adverse event of lead migration/dislodgement meets the definition of this endpoint.

  2. All Implanted Cohort: Infection Rate Associated With the Tined Lead [5 years]

    To characterize the cumulative infection rate at 5 years associated with the tined lead in subjects with a full system implant.

Study Results

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details Thirty-eight centers were activated to enroll subjects. In total, 571 subjects were enrolled: 243 randomized cohort (96 excluded due to eligibility failure); 328 non-randomized cohort (102 excluded due to declined to participate; did not meet inclusion criteria and other). Subjects were enrolled between November 2007 and March 10, 2011.
Pre-assignment Detail The study has 2 cohorts. The randomized cohort included subjects who were randomized 1:1 to either InterStim Therapy (IST) or Standard Medical Therapy (SMT) and were followed for 6 months. The all implanted cohort include implanted subjects from the randomized cohort plus additional subjects enrolled after randomized cohort enrollment completion.

Arm/Group Description Adverse events are summarized for those subjects randomized to the InterStim Therapy group and received full system implant (n=51). Out of 70 subjects, there are 11 subjects who were not implanted with any device component, and 8 subjects who were implanted with lead only, but no neurostimulator. These subjects were not included in this summary. For comparision purpose, adverse events are tabluated between those subjects who received InterStim therapy vs. those who were compliant with Standard Medical Therapy. Adverse events are summarized for those Subjects randomized are compliant to Standard Medical Therapy group (n=75). Out of 77 subjects, 2 subjects crossovered to InterStim Therapy group and received implant. These subjects are not included in this summary. For comparision purpose, adverse events are tabluated between those subjects who received InterStim therapy vs. those who were compliant with Standard Medical Therapy. The all implanted cohort included implanted subjects from the initial randomized cohort plus additional subjects enrolled in the study after the randomized cohort enrollment was complete.
