EG110A Gene Therapy for Overactive Bladder
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial focuses on the long-term safety and effectiveness of a gene therapy treatment called EG110A for individuals with overactive bladder, a condition causing a strong, sudden urge to urinate. The study aims to assess how well this treatment is tolerated and identify any side effects over five years. It specifically targets those who have already participated in a previous study involving at least one dose of EG110A. Participants should not be involved in any other gene therapy studies and must not have current health issues that might interfere with the trial. As a Phase 1 trial, the research seeks to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this innovative therapy.
Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the study team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that EG110A is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that EG110A, a gene therapy for overactive bladder, demonstrates promising safety results. In one study, patients experienced over an 88% reduction in episodes of urinary incontinence. Importantly, this treatment was well-tolerated, causing no systemic side effects. Another study found similar results, with more than an 80% reduction in symptoms. This evidence suggests that EG110A is generally safe for participants, although ongoing studies continue to assess long-term effects.12345
Why are researchers excited about this study treatment for overactive bladder?
Unlike standard treatments for overactive bladder, which often involve medications that relax the bladder muscle or procedures like nerve stimulation, EG110A is a gene therapy. This innovative approach works by potentially altering the genes responsible for bladder control, aiming to provide a long-lasting solution rather than just temporary relief. Researchers are excited about EG110A because it targets the underlying causes of bladder dysfunction at the genetic level, which could offer significant improvements in quality of life and reduced symptoms for patients.
What evidence suggests that EG110A might be an effective treatment for overactive bladder?
Research has shown that EG110A, a gene therapy, holds great promise for treating overactive bladder. In previous studies, EG110A reduced episodes of urinary incontinence by more than 80%. Even at the lowest dose, it decreased these episodes by over 88% after just 12 weeks. This treatment alters genes to improve bladder control. These results suggest that EG110A could effectively manage symptoms of overactive bladder. Participants in this trial will receive EG110A, regardless of dose, to further evaluate its effectiveness.13678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for individuals who have previously received at least one dose of EG110A in an earlier study, targeting those with overactive bladder and spinal cord injury. Participants will be monitored long-term to assess the effects and dosage tolerance of EG110A.Inclusion Criteria
