Study summary

Subjects with neurogenic bladder secondary to spina bifida refractory to medical treatment will be enrolled. The hypothesis is that augmentation cystoplasty using an autologous neo-bladder construct will significantly increase bladder compliance.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Responders as Assessed by Compliance

    Efficacy of the autologous neo-bladder construct as assessed by a responder analysis (comparing each patient's baseline with 12 month data). Improvement in compliance (i.e. improved bladder pressure/volume relationship) was measured by urodynamics at predetermined bladder pressure points. This was coupled with an assessment of clinical benefit and used to determine responders versus non-responders

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Safety Profile - Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event

    clinical evaluation of adverse events, laboratory parameters and urinary imaging to assess any safety issues emerging from this technology and to allow a comparison of a safety profile with standard of care enterocystoplasty. Please refer to the Adverse Event section for detailed information.

    Time frame: periodically within first 12 months as well as during long term follow up out to 5 years

Participant flow

11 patients were recruited between Dec 2006 and July 2007. Patients were recruited from 4 academic centers across the US. One patient withdrew from the study prior to implantation of the Neo-bladder construct and is included in the safety analysis, but not in the efficacy analysis (all implanted population).
