Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Patient Global Assessment (PGA)
For the primary analysis, a responder was defined as a participant who had an improvement on the PGA scale (i.e., PGA evaluated as markedly improved, moderately improved, or slightly improved. In case of slightly improved, participants were considered as responder only if the question "Did therapy have a positive effect on your life, and would you undergo this treatment again?" is answered with "Yes".).
Up to week 12
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Assessment of Bladder Pain/ Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Score
Up to week 12 and additionally at Month 6
Assessment of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Bladder Pain
Up to week 12 and additionally at Month 6
Assessment of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Urinary Urgency.
Up to week 12 and additionally at Month 6
Assessment of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Quality of Life (QoL)
Up to week 12 and additionally at Month 6
Interventions
Cystistat will be instilled into the bladder according to the instructions for use and in line with the routine clinical practice.
Eligibility Criteria
Approximately 74 female patients with IC/BPS will be included in the study
You may qualify if:
- First prescription of Cystistat according to instructions for use.
- Female patients of any ethnic origin with clinical diagnosis of interstitial cystitis (IC)/bladder pain syndrome (BPS). If in accordance with routine clinical practice at the site, ESSIC diagnostic criteria will be used.
- Age: 18 years and older.
- At least 6 months duration of bladder pain/discomfort symptom(s), e.g. constant bladder pain/discomfort or bladder pain/discomfort when voiding or as a burning sensation between voids as the bladder fills with urine.
- At least one accompanying intermittent or persistent lower urinary tract symptom, such as urinary frequency, urgency, or nocturia during the previous 6 months.
- Bladder Pain/ Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Score (BPIC-SS) \> 18 prior to first treatment.
- Written informed consent.
You may not qualify if:
- Known hypersensitivity reactions to sodium hyaluronate.
- Pregnancy / planned pregnancy or breastfeeding during the course of this NIS.
- Known history of any GAG substitution therapy within the last 2 years.
- Known history of fulguration or resection of Hunner's lesions.
- Known diagnosis of recurrent urinary tract infection or overactive bladder.
- Any other conditions or diseases that can cause similar symptoms, using information from medical history, physical examination findings, laboratory studies (e.g., urine bacterial culture), and other previously performed procedures (e.g., urodynamics, cystoscopy, laparoscopy, radiological studies).
- Patients are not able to fulfil study requirements according to physician's opinion.
