What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new treatment called EG110A for individuals with bladder control issues due to nerve damage from a spinal cord injury. The researchers aim to determine the optimal dose of EG110A by administering low, middle, or high doses to different groups to identify the most effective one. Participants should have experienced frequent bladder leaks (at least 8 times a week) despite other treatments and should regularly use Clear Intermittent Catheterization to manage their condition. As a Phase 1/Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on understanding how EG110A works in people and measuring its effectiveness in an initial, smaller group.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial protocol does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it seems that participants should have been on a stable treatment for Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity for at least 3 months before joining the trial.

Is there any evidence suggesting that EG110A is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that EG110A has promising safety results from early studies. Specifically, participants tolerated the low dose of EG110A well, with no widespread side effects reported. This suggests any side effects were likely mild and did not affect the whole body.

The study also found that this treatment significantly reduced episodes of urinary incontinence by over 88% in some patients. This indicates that EG110A is not only potentially effective but also safe for individuals with bladder control issues due to nerve damage.

This trial is in the early stages, focusing mainly on ensuring EG110A's safety for humans. Safety remains a top priority, and the findings so far are encouraging. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity?

Researchers are excited about EG110A because it offers a potentially novel approach to managing neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO). While current treatments like anticholinergics focus on blocking certain receptors to reduce bladder contractions, EG110A might work differently by precisely targeting the pathways responsible for overactive bladder signals. This could lead to fewer side effects and improved efficacy. Additionally, the trial explores varying doses (high, middle, and low), which could help identify the optimal balance between effectiveness and tolerability, offering more personalized treatment options for patients.

What evidence suggests that EG110A might be an effective treatment for Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity?

Research has shown that EG110A may help treat neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO), a condition causing bladder control problems, often after a spinal cord injury. Early results from previous studies found that even at the lowest dose, EG110A reduced incontinence by over 88%. This trial will test EG110A at various doses—low, middle, and high—to evaluate its effectiveness. Higher doses appear to enhance its efficacy, offering hope for improved bladder management for those with ongoing symptoms. Overall, EG110A is emerging as a strong option for improving bladder control in people with NDO. ^{4 6 7 8 9}

Published Research Related to This Trial

Intravesical oxybutynin therapy significantly increased maximum bladder capacity in both children (77.8 ml) and adults (110.8 ml), indicating its effectiveness in treating neurogenic detrusor overactivity.

The treatment was generally safe, with 76.9% of adults and 74.6% of children reporting improvement or being dry after therapy, although 13.5% experienced side effects, and 20.4% discontinued treatment for various reasons.

In a study involving 420 patients with urge urinary incontinence, individualized dosing of extended-release oxybutynin led to a significant reduction in incontinence episodes, with an average decrease of 79.3% in total episodes and 83.2% in urge episodes.

The treatment was well tolerated, with 81% of patients experiencing at least a 70% reduction in incontinence episodes and 43% achieving total dryness, although 23% reported moderate to severe dry mouth as a side effect.

In a pilot study of 17 male patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity, incobotulinumtoxinA injections led to significant improvements in daily urinary frequency (from 9.4 to 4.6) and daily incontinence episodes (from 2.5 to 0.4), indicating its efficacy in managing symptoms of urgency incontinence.

No serious safety concerns were reported, as there were no urinary tract infections or new urinary retention cases within 30 days post-injection, suggesting that incobotulinumtoxinA is a safe treatment option for neurogenic bladder.

In a study of 214 patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO), Botox therapy significantly improved bladder function, as shown by increased maximum detrusor pressure and capacity, and reduced urinary incontinence episodes.

Post-treatment, the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and the use of incontinence aids dropped significantly, leading to lower healthcare costs for patients, demonstrating the economic benefits of Botox therapy in managing NDO.

In a Phase IIa study involving 47 adult patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity, abobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport) significantly reduced the frequency of daily incontinence episodes, with improvements seen in both 15 and 30 injection groups.

Dysport also led to significant enhancements in urodynamic parameters, such as maximum cystometric capacity and detrusor pressure, while the safety profile showed some serious adverse events related to muscle weakness, particularly in patients receiving 15 injections.

In a study involving 836 participants over 12 weeks, both 4 mg and 8 mg doses of fesoterodine significantly improved symptoms of overactive bladder compared to placebo, including reductions in urinary frequency and urgency.

Fesoterodine was well tolerated, with common side effects being dry mouth, constipation, and urinary tract infections, but overall, the treatment showed a favorable safety profile.

Repeat botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injections can provide sustained improvements in quality of life for patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO), particularly for those receiving four or fewer injections, based on a review of 18 studies involving 1533 patients.

The study found a low rate of adverse events associated with repeat BTX-A injections, indicating that the treatment is generally safe; however, quality of life may decline for patients receiving five or more injections, highlighting the need for further research on long-term effects.

Is repeat Botulinum Toxin A injection valuable for neurogenic detrusor overactivity-A systematic review and meta-analysis. Ni, J., Wang, X., Cao, N., et al.[2019]

In a study of 62 spinal cord injury patients who switched from Onabotulinumtoxin A (OTA) to Abobotulinumtoxin A (ATA) for treating neurogenic detrusor overactivity, 28.9% initially responded to ATA injections, with 14.5% maintaining response after a median follow-up of 17 months.

The switch to ATA may provide long-term efficacy for some patients and potentially delay the need for surgical interventions like augmentation enterocystoplasty, as 51.6% of patients were either awaiting or had undergone this surgery during the follow-up period.

In a study involving 57 children aged 6 to 15 with neurogenic detrusor overactivity, both transdermal and oral oxybutynin significantly improved urine volume, with transdermal oxybutynin showing a mean increase from 95 ml to 125 ml and oral oxybutynin from 114 ml to 166 ml.

Transdermal oxybutynin was found to be well tolerated with fewer side effects compared to oral oxybutynin, indicating it may be a safer alternative for children who have previously used oxybutynin.
