clinical trial for the assessment of safety, usability and efficacy of the vixe combination for oab in female subjects

Conditions: Overactive Bladder

Summary: the goal of this interventional clinical trial is to assess the safety, usability and initial efficacy of xeomin and vibe combination (vixe) compared to placebo + sham in female subjects with idiopathic overactive bladder. the main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: • the rate of device and drug related serious adverse events during treatment and throughout the follow up period • investigator, subject and technician satisfaction from treatment, and • assess the initial efficacy of the drug-device combination compared to placebo-sham combination. participants will be treated a single time with the vixe combination and will be followed up for a period of 12 weeks, during which they will visit the clinic after 2, 6 and 12 weeks. participants will complete a 3-day voiding diary prior to the 6- and 12-week fu visit.
