PG - 2291-5 LID - 10.1007/s11255-014-0828-5 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: Intravesical instillation of liposomes is a potentially new therapeutic option for subjects with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The aim of this study was to explore the safety and clinical outcomes of 4 weekly instillations of sphingomyelin liposomes in an open-label cohort of subjects with IC/BPS. METHODS: Fourteen symptomatic IC/BPS subjects were treated with intravesical liposomes once a week for 4 weeks. Safety measurements included laboratory specimen collection, vital signs, post-void residual, and assessment of adverse events (AEs). Efficacy measurements included pain visual analog scales (VAS), voiding diaries, global response assessments (GRAs), and O'Leary-Sant Interstitial Cystitis Symptom and Problem Indices (ICSI and ICPI). RESULTS: No treatment-related AEs were reported at any time over the course of the study. Urgency VAS scores significantly decreased at 4 weeks (p = 0.0029) and 8 weeks (p = 0.0112) post-treatment. Pain VAS scores significantly decreased at 4 weeks post-treatment (p = 0.0073). Combined ICSI and ICPI scores improved significantly at 4 and 8 weeks (p = 0.002 for both time points) post-treatment. Responses to GRA showed improvement at 4 weeks post-instillation. No significant decrease in urinary frequency was found. CONCLUSIONS: Sphingomyelin liposome instillations were well tolerated in subjects with IC/BPS with no AEs attributed to the test article. Treatment was associated with improvements in pain, urinary urgency, and overall symptom scores. Placebo-controlled clinical trials are needed to assess this potential therapy for IC/BPS.
