NCT ID NCT05685433

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing a small device called eCoin that is implanted under the skin to stimulate a nerve in the leg. The goal is to reduce sudden, strong urges to urinate that lead to leaks. Researchers will track 200 adults with overactive bladder to see if the device safely cuts leakage episodes by at least half.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
eCoin tibial nerve stimulation device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a long-term, implanted option to reduce sudden urine leaks for people with overactive bladder.
What could go wrong
This is a single-arm, post-approval study, so there is no comparison group. The device requires a minor surgical implant, and risks include infection or device-related side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Women and men above 18 years old with gender percentages reflective of disease prevalence in the U.S. population * Individual with diagnosis of overactive bladder with urgency urinary incontinence. * Individual has at least one urgency urinary incontinence episode on each of three days as determined on a 3-day voiding diary. * Individual gives written informed consent. * Individual is mentally competent and able to understand all study requirements. * Individual is willing and able to complete a 3-day voiding diary and quality of life questionnaire. * Individual is without pharmacological treatment of overactive bladder (anticholinergic and β3-adrenoceptor agonists) for 2 weeks prior to baseline or longer if the physician judges that the therapeutic effect is still present. * Individual is intolerant of or has an inadequate response to any of anticholinergics, β3-adrenoceptor agonists, onabotulinumtoxinA, or who have undergone percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS). * Individual is determined to be a suitable surgical candidate by physician. * Individual is appropriate for eCoin treatment based on the US FDA-approved IFU requirements. Exclusion Criteria: * Individual is not appropriate for eCoin therapy based upon the US FDA-approved IFU requirements. * Individual has clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction. (Suspected bladder outlet obstruction will be initially assessed by uroflow study with those having a maximum flow rate \< 15mL/s requiring additional evaluation.) * Individual has predominantly stress urinary incontinence (greater than 1/3 of leaks on baseline diary are stress). * Individual has an active urinary tract infection at time of enrollment. * Individual has known polyuria. * Individual has significant lower urinary tract pain or has been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome. * Individual has abnormal post void residual (i.e. greater than 200 cc initially and on repeat testing after double voiding) * Individual has clinically significant urethral stricture disease or bladder neck contracture. (Suspected disease or contracture will be initially assessed by uroflow study with those having a maximum flow rate \< 15mL/s requiring additional evaluation.) * Individual has chronic venous insufficiency with a history of skin change (hyperpigmentation, lipodermatosclerosis, ulceration) in the ankle region. * Individual has morbid obesity and in the opinion of the investigator is not a good candidate for the study. * Individual has had diagnosis of bladder, urethral, or prostate cancer. * Individual has had a prior anti-stress incontinence sling surgery within the last year. * Individual is pregnant or intends to become pregnant during the study. * Individual has the presence of urinary fistula, bladder stone, or interstitial cystitis. * Individual has uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (Hemoglobin A1C\>7) or diabetes with significant peripheral complications. (Uncontrolled diabetes will be ruled out by blood test excluding those with Hemoglobin A1C\>7). * Individual has an implantable neurostimulator, pacemaker, or implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD). * Individual has been treated with onabotulinumtoxinA in the previous 9 months prior to enrollment, or more time if the principal investigator judges that the therapeutic effect is present. * Individual has been treated with percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) within the previous 4 weeks prior to enrollment or more time if the principal investigator judges that the therapeutic effect is present. * Individual is currently using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in the pelvic region, back, or legs. * Individual is aware that he or she will need an MRI scan other than a head/neck/shoulder MRI during the study period. * Individual has a clotting or bleeding disorder or is using anticoagulant therapies and in the opinion of the investigator is not a good candidate for the study (antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy may be continued or held at the discretion of the investigator). * Individual is neutropenic or immune-compromised. * Individual has had previous surgery and/or significant scarring at the implant location. * Individual has ongoing dermatologic condition at the implant site, including but not limited to dermatitis and autoimmune disorders. * Individual has a clinically significant peripheral neuropathy in the lower extremities. * Individual has neurogenic bladder dysfunction. * Individual has pitting edema at implant location (≥ 2+ is excluded). * Individual has inadequate skin integrity or any evidence of an infection or inflammation in either lower leg. * Individual has varicose veins and is symptomatic. * Individual has open wounds, trauma, or prior surgery in the lower extremities. * Individual has arterial disease in the lower extremities. * Individual has vasculitis in the lower extremities. * Individual has bladder stones or neoplasia. (Suspected bladder stones or neoplasia will be ruled out with a urine dipstick showing no more than trace blood, and microscopic analysis (which should be done in that case) shows ≥3 PBC's /HPF unless that subject has been worked up and found negative for clinically significant disease such as malignant neoplasm or stones.) * In the opinion of the investigator, Individual is not a good candidate for participation in the study.
