• Currently pregnant or trying to get pregnant 
• Contraindications to Botox® - hypersensitivity to Botox®, inability to 
self-catheterize/refusal to have indwelling catheter 
• Have a UTI (can enroll after treatment) 
• Have urinary retention (PVR>150cc on two occasions) 
• Do not speak English or Spanish 
 
Study Endpoint 
The primary outcome variable will be the OAB-q symptoms severity subscale 
score (urinary symptom questionnaire) as a marker of efficacy. The secondary 
outcome variables will include UTI rate, PVR, urinary retention, inter-injection 
interval, catheter use within 3 months, PGI-I, and VAS pain score. 
Statistical Methods 
The target sample size was determined by using the typical standard 
deviation of the OAB-q score (20 points per literature review) and the known 
minimally important clinical difference of 10 points of the OAB-q severity 
subscale, our primary outcome. Using this data, we calculated the sample size 
of N=102 maximum total (expect to enroll ~40 at KP, ~60 at UCI, ~20 at 
PSJH), 51 subjects in each arm for a 80% power with 5% significance level. 
With an estimated 15% lost to follow up rate, we calculated need to enroll 
116 subjects.

1 INTRODUCTION 
1.1  
Background 
Intradetrusor (bladder) Botulinum toxin A (BTA or Botox®) is a well-established treatment for urinary 
urgency incontinence (UUI). 1,2 While this treatment’s efficacy in comparison to alternative therapies 
including anticholinergic medications and sacral neuromodulation for treatment of UUI has been studied, 
the ideal number of injection sites within the bladder has not been well established.3,4 Intradetrusor BTA 
injections are often completed as an office procedure while the patient is awake. Each injection site can 
cause discomfort for the patient during the procedure. Urinary tract infection and urinary retention are risks 
associated with this procedure and could potentially be related to number of injection sites. Currently, there 
is a lack of information in the literature regarding the optimal number of intravesical BTA injection sites. 
Prior studies evaluated efficacy using 100u BTA spread across 20 injections sites, however current 
practices at local institutions safely use 10 injections sites based on studies showing similar effect and 
adverse event profiles between use of 10, 20, and 40 injection sites.5,6 Research using animal models has 
shown diffuse distribution of BTA within the entire detrusor muscle after just a single BTA injection at one 
site.7 This has been corroborated in human studies.8 A recently published observational pilot study shows 
promise for single site intradetrusor Botox® injection as it reported a lower rate of urinary retention and 
similar durability.9 Similar clinical efficacy with only one to three intravesical BTA injection[s] has also been 
reported.10  
 
1.2 Hypothesis 
We hypothesize that one injection of intradetrusor Botox® will have similar efficacy to ten injections, better 
tolerability, due to decreased procedure time and less pain, along with potential for lower adverse event 
rates, specifically urinary retention and urinary tract infections. 
2 OBJECTIVES AND PURPOSE 
2.1 PRIMARY OBJECTIVE 
Our primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of intradetrusor Botox® in an outpatient population 
based on patient questionnaire scores (OAB-q) in one versus ten Botox® injection [s].  
 
The primary outcome variable will be the OAB-q (urinary symptom questionnaire) symptom severity 
subscale score. The secondary outcome variables will include UTI rate, PVR, urinary retention, inter-
injection interval, catheter use within 3 months, PGI-I, and VAS pain score. 
 
3 STUDY DESIGN 
 
We plan for a prospective, single-blinded, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial. We will evaluate the 
efficacy, safety, and tolerability of one intradetrusor Botox® injection (study) versus ten injections 
(control/standard of care). The patient will be blinded. There will be 1:1 randomization. The physician doing 
the procedure will not be blinded.

 3.1 
Treatment Arms 
 
There will be two arms for this trial: study arm (one injection) and control arm (10 
injections). Across all sites we will plan to enroll 116 maximum participants with anticipated 
enrollment at Kaiser Permanente being approximately 40 participants.  
3.2 
Study Duration 
 
We anticipate completion of enrollment with approximately 1.5 years. Each subject will 
participate in the study for 3 months (one 3 week post-procedure visit and one 3 month 
post-procedure visit). Charts will be reviewed for approximately 6-12 months after 
procedure completion.

STUDY PRODUCT INFORMATION 
4.1 Description 
Botox® (onabotulinumtoxina) is an FDA approved treatment of OAB, urinary urgency and frequency, and 
urinary urgency incontinence via intradetrusor injection. A standard approved dose of 100units will be 
injected into the detrusor muscle. There is no investigational drug being studied in this trial.  
 
4.2 
Dosage, Preparation and Administration 
 
The physician will inject 10 mL of (100u/10mL) Botulinum Toxin A in either one or ten sites  
located in the midline, supra-trigonal posterior bladder wall at a depth of 3mm into the 
detrusor. Each participant will undergo one injection procedure for the duration of the 
study.  
4.3 
Toxicity and Safety Information 
 
The most common adverse reactions associated with intradetrusor administration of 
Botox® include urinary tract infection and urinary retention. These will be monitored as 
described below in adverse events section.  
4.4 
Concomitant Medications/ Treatments 
 
Current treatment with either: SNM, PTNS, or OAB medications – need wash out as below: 
1 SNM – turn device off for at least 2 weeks prior to procedure, off during 3-month follow up window 
2 PTNS – no treatments within 2 weeks of start, none during 3-month post-procedure follow up 
window

7.1 
Adverse Events Reporting 
7.1.1 
Adverse Event Definition 
Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in 
humans, whether or not considered drug related. 
All adverse events, including those that are reported by the patient spontaneously, those the 
study investigator observes, and those that the study investigator elicits in response to open-
ended questions. Recorded adverse events should be assessed by the study investigator 
indicating the causal relationship of the event with the study drug and whether it meets the criteria 
for a Serious Adverse Event. 
7.1.2 
Time Period and Frequency for Event Assessment and Follow-up 
 
Adverse events will be collected from the procedure date through at least 
3 months after the Botox® injection procedure.  
7.1.3 
Serious Adverse Event Definition 
SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENT (SAE) is an adverse event or suspected adverse reaction if, in 
the view of either the study investigator, meets one or more of the following criteria: 
Ø Results in death 
Ø Is a life-threatening adverse event (places the subject at immediate risk of death from 
the event as it occurred) 
Ø Results in inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
Ø Results in a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to 
conduct normal life functions 
Ø Results in a congenital anomaly/ birth defect 
Ø An important medical event that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical 
judgment, they may jeopardize the patient and may require medical or surgical 
intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition 
7.1.4 
Serious Adverse Event Reporting 
If the site personnel identifies a potential SAE the Investigator will be notified immediately.  If the 
study investigator determines that the adverse event meets the criteria for an SAE, the 
Investigator will report the event as follows:  document the SAE in the adverse event log. t The 
study investigator will also notify the KPSC Institutional Review Board (IRB) of unanticipated 
SAEs within 10 business days per the KPSC IRB SOP 502, Principal Investigator Reportable 
Event and Incident Requirements.

8.1 
Study Procedure 
8.1.1 
Informed Consent 
 
Subjects will typically have the time between their clinic initial/consultation visit and their procedure 
appointment (typically at least 1 week) to consider whether to consent. If the study is not discussed at their 
prior visit or via telephone script prior to procedure appointment, subjects will be given up to 60 min to 
consider and ask the Investigator questions. Participants will be consented by the Principal Investigator or 
any of the physician co-investigators who will be performing the Botox® procedure. The participant will be 
provided a copy of the signed informed consent.  
8.1.2 
Eligibility Review 
 
Eligibility will be assessed by review of inclusion and exclusion criteria posted in all recruitment locations by 
co-investigators. After consent and enrollment  the participants will be screened and randomized via 
permuted blocks in a 1:1 fashion to either the study group (1 injection) or the control group/standard of care 
(10 injections). The pre-assigned randomization by permuted block design will be determined at the time of 
the procedure by opening of a sealed, opaque envelope containing the group allocation.  
 
Pre-Procedure Requirements 
Prior to the procedure each subject will have the following (at either prior/consultation visit or procedure 
visit see study calendar below): 
 
[ ] sign consent form 
(prior to any non-standard of care procedures) 
[ ] Post-void residual 
[ ] Urinalysis (formal UA OR poct udip) 
[ ] OAB-Q LF Questionnaire completion

Study Procedure 
 
Botox Injection Procedure 
 
Arm 1: 1 injection  
Subjects will be blinded to the allocation group by turning the cystoscope screen away from patient. 
Cystoscopic injection will be standardized using an injection cystoscope and 100-200 mL of intravesical 
fluid. Subjects undergoing the procedure in clinic will receive a lidocaine instillation prior to the procedure 
along with a urethral lidocaine jelly. The physician will inject 10 mL of (100u/10mL) Botulinum Toxin A in 
one midline, supra-trigonal posterior bladder wall site at a depth of 3mm, as diagramed below. The bladder 
trigone and ureteral orifices will not be injected. Each subject will undergo a single injection procedure as 
part of this trial. Each subject will void prior to leaving clinic.

9 CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION AND ENDPOINT DEFINITIONS 
The outcome status (in terms of toxicity, response, reason off study, progression, and survival) of all 
eligible patients will be reported. All eligible patients who begin treatment will be included in the 
analysis of efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the Botox® procedure.  
9.1 
Primary Endpoints 
 
The primary outcome variable will be the OAB-q symptoms severity subscale score 
(urinary symptom questionnaire) as a marker of efficacy.  
9.2 
Secondary Endpoints 
 
The secondary outcome variables will include UTI rate, PVR, urinary retention, inter-
injection interval, catheter use within 3 months, PGI-I, and VAS pain score.

DATA HANDLING AND RECORD KEEPING 
10.1 
Source Documentation 
 
Documentation that will be considered as source will be the electronic medical records and questionnaires 
(OAB-Q, PGI-I, and VAS-pain). 
10.2 
Case Report Forms 
 
10.3 
CRF attached as appendix. The electronic medical record and questionnaires (OAB-Q, PGI-I, and 
VAS-pain) will be considered data sources. Study data will be captured using REDCap for data 
management purposes.Record Retention 
 
Data will be stored securely in REDCap and retained through presentation and publication 
of study results. At site for 1 year after the IRB has closed out the study. Following that all 
study related documents will be archived for 15 years at Iron Mountain Retention facility 
(8700  Mercury Lane, Pico Rivera, CA 90660). 
10.4 
Data Management 
 
Data will be stored securely in KPSC REDCap. This data will be encrypted and password 
protected on the KPSCnetwork via REDCap. Only delegated study personnel will have 
access to the database.

STUDY OVERSIGHT 
11.1 
Data Safety Monitoring Board  
 
An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) has been chartered and will meet as specified in the 
DSMB charter agreement to assist with safety oversight. The DSMB will report back to the PI. See 
Appendix D, DSMB Charter for details.  
11.2 
Study Site Monitoring 
 
Internal monitoring of sites will be conducted quarterly by the PI and site lead investigators, 
Dr. Crowder, Dr. Whitcomb, Dr. Brueseke, respectively. The monitoring will be done 
remotely through scheduled teleconferences with the lead investigator and/or designee. 
On-site visits will also be conducted quarterly. See satellite site management plan, 
appendix E for details.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
12.1 
Study Hypothesis 
 
We hypothesize that one intradetrusor Botox® injection site has similar efficacy to ten injections sites based 
on OAB-Q symptoms severity score change from pre-procedure to 3-week post-procedure with a minimal 
clinical important difference of 10.  
12.2 
Sample Size Considerations 
 
The target sample size was determined by using the typical standard deviation of the OAB-q symptom 
severity score (20 points per literature review) and the known minimally important clinical difference of 10 
points of the OAB-q severity subscale, our primary outcome. Using this data, we calculated the sample size 
of N=102 maximum total (expect to enroll ~40 at KP, ~60 at UCI, ~20 PSJH), 51 subjects in each arm for 
an 80% power with 5% significance level. Based on review of prior clinical data at UCI and KP, we expect 
to complete enrollment within 1 – 1.5 years. With an estimated 15% lost to follow up rate, we calculated 
need to enroll 116 subjects. 
12.3 
Final Analysis Plan 
 
We will describe the study population, including patient age, race/ethnicity, baseline severity scores (OAB-
Q), BMI, medical history (prior surgery, menopausal status, prior Botox, etc.), overall, by arm, and stratified 
by study site (KPSC, UCI, PSJH).  We will summarize continuous measures using means and standard 
deviations and categorical measures using percentages.  We will compare study arms using the t-test or 
Fisher’s exact test, as appropriate. 
 
We will examine the outcome measures (OAB-Q and any secondary measures) to 
determine whether they are approximately normally distributed.  If not, we will apply a

transformation prior to analysis to make the analytic variable approximately normal.  If no 
transformation successfully achieves approximate normality, we will apply non-parametric 
tests for analysis, including Wilcoxon’s rank-sum test instead of the t-test and quantile 
regression instead of linear regression. 
 
We will analyze the main study outcome (OAB-Q score) initially using a t-test to compare 
the two study arms, overall and stratified by study site.  We will further analyze the 
outcome using generalized estimating equations to account for correlation within study 
sites.  These models will adjust for any potential differences in age, race/ethnicity, baseline 
severity scores, or any other baseline measures, and will account for any potential 
differences between study sites. 
 
Secondary outcomes will be analyzed in the same manner as the primary outcome. 
 
Primary analyses will be performed using intention-to-treat to determine study arm.  If 
multiple individuals are not treated according to the randomization plan, we will perform a 
sensitivity analysis using as-treated, per-protocol study arms. 
 
For any individuals who are lost to follow-up, we will first compare those individuals who 
are lost to those who complete follow-up in terms of demographics, baseline 
characteristics and any outcome assessments prior to the time that they are lost to follow-
up.  For primary analysis of OAB-Q scores, we will analyze complete data including only 
those who have completed the follow-up questionnaires within the prescribed timeframes.  
If more than 10% are lost to follow-up, we will additionally perform multiple imputation in an 
attempt to capture data of those lost to follow-up.

REGISTRATION GUIDELINE 
 
The patients will be enrolled and registered for the study in person, however if needed this number can be 
used: 833-574-2273. In order to register a patient the following forms and records will be needed: informed 
consent, confirmation of meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria via checklist review, Screening Enrollment Log, 
Patient Enrollment Log,Patient Screening #, Patient ID Log, completion of pre-procedure OAB-Q. Patient 
will be randomized via permuted block design in a 1:1 fashion to one of the two arms,  Arm 1: 1 Injection or 
Arm 2: 10 injections  at their Botox® procedure visit.
