Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy, safety, and tolerability of JNJ-42160443 compared to placebo in patients with moderate to severe, chronic bladder pain from interstitial cystitis and/or painful bladder syndrome.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized (study drug assigned by chance), double-blind (neither the physician nor the patient knows the name of the assigned drug) study to evaluate the analgesic efficacy, safety, and tolerability of JNJ-42160443 compared with placebo in patients with moderate to severe, chronic bladder pain from Interstitial cystitis (IC) and/or painful bladder syndrome (PBS). Interstitial cystitis (IC) and PBS are urological disorders characterized by symptoms of bladder pain, urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and the need to get up during the night in order to urinate. The study has 3 phases: a screening phase (up to 3 weeks), a double-blind treatment phase (12 weeks), and a post-treatment phase that ends 26 weeks after the last dose of study medication. The study duration will be approximately 36 to 46 weeks.

A single dose of JNJ-42160443 (9 mg/ml) or matching placebo given as an injection under the skin once every 4 weeks for up to 12 weeks.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Chronic pelvic pain (>6 months) perceived to be related to the urinary bladder and accompanied by urinary symptoms such as frequent urination during the day and/or night, and/or urgency to void
  • Total score of 8 or greater on the O'Leary-Sant Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index (ICSI)
  • The mean of the average pain intensity scores at screening phase >=5 (on a scale of 0 to 10)
  • Medically stable

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Urinary culture is positive for a urinary tract infection; Recent invasive therapy to the bladder
  • History or current conditions indicating that the bladder pain can be caused by diagnoses other than IC/PBS (eg, pain caused by a confirmed or suspected neoplasm)
  • History of within the past 2 years, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma that has been successfully treated
  • Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding
  • A (BMI) of >39 kg/m2
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 18, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
