Official title
Prospective, Multicenter, Single Arm Feasibility and Safety Study of the Axonics External Trial System (ETS-02)
Overview
Evaluation of the new Axonics External Trial System (ETS-02) in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) and/or fecal incontinence (FI).
Detailed description
The trial system is used to determine if patients are responsive to sacral neuromodulation (SNM) prior to receiving the Axonics implantable neurostimulator (INS) which is approved for the treatment of OAB and FI. This study is evaluating the feasibility and safety of the new Axonics External Trial System (ETS-02) in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) and/or fecal incontinence (FI).
Interventions
- Device Axonics External Trial System (ETS)
A temporary electrode wire is passed through the S3 foramen with or without fluoroscopic guidance. The wire is then connected to an external pulse generator (EPG) and is worn for a trial period ranging from 3-7 days.
Primary outcome measures
- Overall Feasibility [Time frame: Day 5-7]
- Adverse Events reporting (Safety) [Time frame: Day 0-7]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- 18 years or older
- Provides written informed consent prior to trial procedures
- Primary indication of OAB (UUI/UF) or chronic FI who are considered candidates for an Axonics PNE procedure as assessed by the physician per product IFU
Exclusion criteria
- Any participant that the study Investigator deems to be a poor candidate for any reason, including, but not limited to, inability to complete a baseline bladder or bowel diary or to be compliant with study visits
- Planned changes to current regimen of medications during the trial period that could impact bladder or bowel function
- Current urinary tract mechanical obstruction (e.g., benign prostatic enlargement or urethral stricture)
- Current symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI)
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
