Evaluating the safety and potential activity of URO-902 (hMaxi-K) gene transfer by intravesical instillation or direct injection into the bladder wall in female participants with idiopathic (non-neurogenic) overactive bladder syndrome and detrusor overactivity from two double-blind, imbalanced, placebo-controlled randomized phase 1 trials.

ABSTRACT: AIMS:Two phase 1 trials were performed in healthy women with the overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome and urodynamically demonstrated detrusor overactivity (DO), with the aim to demonstrate the safety and potential efficacy of URO-902, which comprises a gene therapy plasmid vector expressing the human big potassium channel ? subunit. METHODS:ION-02 (intravesical instillation) and ION-03 (direct injection) were double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter studies without overlap in enrollment between studies. Active doses were administered and evaluated sequentially (lowest dose first) for safety. ION-02 participants received either 5000?µg or 10?000?µg URO-902, or placebo. ION-03 participants received either 16?000 or 24?000?µg URO-902, or placebo, injected directly into the bladder wall using cystoscopy. Primary outcome variables were safety parameters occurring subsequent to URO-902 administration; secondary efficacy variables also were evaluated. RESULTS:Among the safety outcomes, there were no dose-limiting toxicities or significant adverse events (AEs) preventing dose escalation during either trial, and no participants withdrew due to AEs. For efficacy, in ION-02 (N?=?21), involuntary detrusor contractions on urodynamics at 24 weeks in patients receiving URO-902 (P?
