Bladder Pain?

Don't Suffer in Silence.

A Clinical Research Opportunity:
Join in the quest to advance new pain medicines for Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome (IC/PBS). 

People with IC/PBS suffer from unbearable pain and pressure in the bladder area, and a need to urinate suddenly or often. As a result, daily life falls apart. Currently, few good treatments exist to treat IC/PBS pain and other symptoms. New medicines are needed, yet this can only happen through clinical trials and the willingness of those living with IC/PBS to take part.
If you suffer from moderate to severe pain associated with IC/PBS, please consider this an invitation to participate in an important clinical trial. 

Eligible participants must:
  • Be at least 18 years or older
  • Have had IC/PBS symptoms for at least 6 months
  • Agree to attend the required clinic visits for 24 weeks, after a screening process, and follow the treatment plan carefully
  • Agree to keep a daily diary of your symptoms
  • Undergo cystoscopy unless you’ve had this procedure within the past two years

If you qualify and you agree to participate you will:
  • Possibly gain more knowledge about your IC/PBS and how to manage it
  • Have a greater chance (80%) of receiving the study medicine, and less of a chance (20%) of receiving the placebo (no medicine)
  • Keep a daily diary that will start to carefully monitor your pain and other symptoms
  • Receive medical tests that further help you to learn about your body and its response to the study medicine
  • Possibly be compensated for travel
