Description

Summary

This is a Phase 2, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, single-dose, pharmacodynamic study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination product (VNX001) versus placebo and its individual components (heparin sodium and lidocaine hydrochloride (HCl)) for the reduction of bladder pain in patients with interstitial cystitis (IC) / bladder pain syndrome (BPS).

Official Title

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Multi-Center Single Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of VNX001 Compared to Placebo, the Individual Components of Lidocaine, and Heparin in Subjects With Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome

Details

This is a Phase 2, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, single-dose, pharmacodynamic study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination product (VNX001) versus placebo and its individual components (heparin sodium and lidocaine hydrochloride) for the reduction of bladder pain in patients with IC/BPS. The study will enroll a target of 120 subjects, with a maximum of 180 subjects, across approximately 12 sites in the United States. Each study subject will receive a single dose of VNX001, placebo (alkalinized phosphate buffer), alkalinized lidocaine, or alkalinized heparin by random assignment. The randomization ratio will be 3:1:3:1, respectively. At 24-48-hours post-dose, all subjects will be given the option of requesting a single dose of VNX001.
