NCT02577302

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center, study in which 150 evaluable subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive either a Protect CAN-Stim or SNS InterStim® system. Subjects from both groups will immediately start with therapy. The primary endpoint is a ≥ 50% reduction in number of incontinence episodes associated with urgency at the 3-month visit, with additional measurements assessed at 14 days, 1, 6, 9 and 12-months.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Response rate: a ≥ 50% reduction in number of urgency related incontinence episodes

    The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as a ≥ 50% reduction in number of urgency related incontinence episodes at 3 months post-implant of the CAN-Stim system compared to SNS InterStim® system therapy. The number of urgency incontinent episodes per day is taken as an average of two 3-day consecutive bladder diaries, with at least 24 hours between when the first diary ends and the second diary begins

    3 Months

  • device- and procedure-related Adverse Events (AE)

    The safety endpoint is the device- and procedure-related Adverse Events (AE) rate at 3 months in the CAN-Stim and SNS groups.

Study Arms (2)

CAN-Stim Group - CAN-Stim System

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention: tibial medical device Subjects randomized to this group will have the Protect CAN-Stim System tibial medical device implanted for the duration of the study.

Device: CAN-Stim - Protect CAN-Stim System

SNS Group - Interstim® System

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Intervention: SNS Medical device Subjects randomized to SNS will have their Stage I device implanted and tested during a 2-week period. Stage I will have a tined, quadripolar lead placed in the S3 (preferred) or S4 (alternate) foramen in the standard fashion using fluoroscopic guidance and motor response. Motor responses can include a contraction of the levators ("bellows" response) with or without plantar flexion of the great toe. Subjects who are not demonstrating an appropriate motor response will not have the device implanted and will be exited from the study.

Device: SNS - InterStim® System

Interventions

CAN-Stim subjects will be implanted unilaterally (implantation side is up to the investigators discretion) with the CAN-Stim System. Subjects will be educated on the use of the transmitter and programmer. Therapy will be delivered for a minimum of 8 hours per day for 2 weeks. Subjects who are considered a responder at the 2-week follow-up, will continue therapy and followed for a total of 12 months.

CAN-Stim Group - CAN-Stim System

Subjects randomized to SNS will have their Stage I device implanted and tested during a 2-week period. Stage I will have a tined, quadripolar lead placed in the S3 (preferred) or S4 (alternate) foramen in the standard fashion using fluoroscopic guidance and motor response. Motor responses can include a contraction of the levators ("bellows" response) with or without plantar flexion of the great toe. Subjects who are not demonstrating an appropriate motor response will not have the device implanted and will be exited from the study.Therapy will be delivered for a minimum of 8 hours per day for 2 weeks. Subjects who are considered a responder at the 2-week follow-up, will receive a full implant and followed for a total of 12 months.

SNS Group - Interstim® System

Eligibility Criteria

  • Less than 1 year post-partum and/or are breast-feeding;
  • Neurogenic bladder (i.e. Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, Spinal Cord Injury);
  • Patients with spinal hardware that would limit access to the sacrum;
  • Botox use in bladder or pelvic floor muscles in the past nine months;
  • Have a post-void residual urine volume \>150 cc at baseline;
  • Current urinary tract infection (UTI);
  • Previous treatment with sacral neuromodulation;
  • Previous treatment with percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation, pelvic floor muscle stimulation, or biofeedback within the past 60 days;
  • Conditions requiring Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) evaluation or diathermy procedures;
  • Inability to operate the CAN-Stim System or InterStim System;
