Conditions: Interstitial Cystitis
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 31
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The purposes of the study is to determine if LiRIS®, an investigational drug-delivery system, is safe and tolerable in women with Interstitial Cystitis (IC), and to evaluate any change in IC symptoms following LiRIS administration.

Detailed description:
The study is conducted in 2 parts: a randomized, blinded part in which subjects are assigned randomly (by chance) to LiRIS 400 mg or LiRIS placebo; subjects who complete this part and are eligible to continue, may participate in the open-label part in which all subjects receive LiRIS 400 mg.

In both parts of the study (blinded and open-label), LiRIS is inserted into the bladder during cystoscopy, remains in the bladder for 14 days, and is removed during cystoscopy. In addition to the 14 day period with the LiRIS/LiRIS Placebo, there is a screening period of up to 2 weeks and a follow up period of 4 weeks.

Arms:
arm 1: LiRIS 400 mg: investigational drug-delivery system which contains Lidocaine; the system remains in the bladder for 14 days. If eligible, participants could participate in the Open Label Extension where all participants were treated with LiRIS 400 mg. arm 2: LiRIS Placebo: investigational drug-delivery system which contains Lactose and no Lidocaine; the system remains in the bladder for 14 days. If eligible, participants could participate in the Open Label Extension where all participants were treated with LiRIS 400 mg.

Interventions: intervention 1: LiRIS 400 mg intervention 2: LiRIS Placebo
