Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a vaginal radiofrequency (RF) device called MORPHEUSV works to treat overactive bladder (OAB) in women. Researchers also want to learn how safe the device is for this indication. This study will include women ages 22 to 80 who have had OAB symptoms for at least 6 months. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the MORPHEUSV device lower the number of daily episodes of accidental urine leakage caused by urgency? Does it work better than a sham (placebo) treatment? Researchers will compare the MORPHEUSV device to a sham treatment to see how well it reduces symptoms of overactive bladder. Participants will: 1) Receive one session of either the MORPHEUSV or sham treatment. 2) Track their symptoms using a diary and questionnaires 3) Return for three to six follow-up visits over 12 months. This study is being conducted at multiple clinics in the United States.

Read the detailed description

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition that significantly impacts the quality of life in women, especially those with urge urinary incontinence (UUI) or mixed incontinence with a predominant urgency component. Current treatments for OAB, including behavioral therapy and pharmacologic agents, often have limited long-term efficacy, tolerability issues, or low adherence rates. There is a significant need for alternative, non-invasive therapies that can provide symptom relief with fewer side effects. The MORPHEUSV system is a vaginally delivered radiofrequency (RF) energy device designed to remodel submucosal tissue through controlled thermal stimulation. This technology is currently being investigated for its ability to improve bladder control by targeting pelvic tissue support and neuromodulation pathways. The device is investigational for this indication and is being studied under an FDA-approved Investigational Device Exemption (IDE G250071). This is a prospective, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the MORPHEUSV RF device in women aged 22 to 80 with idiopathic OAB and at least 7 episodes of UUI per week. The study will enroll approximately 202 participants at up to 12 sites across the United States. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to either a single session of active RF treatment or a sham (placebo) treatment. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants achieving a ≥50% reduction in UUI episodes from baseline at 6 months. Secondary and exploratory outcomes include symptom reduction across urgency, frequency, nocturia, and quality of life metrics, as well as device-related adverse events. Blinding will be maintained through the use of an identical sham applicator with no RF energy delivery. A crossover option is available for sham subjects who complete the 6-month follow-up, allowing them to receive the active treatment. All participants will be followed for 12 months after their initial intervention to evaluate durability of response and long-term safety. An internal data review committee will periodically evaluate cumulative safety data. The study is conducted under Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and will be overseen by Sterling IRB.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

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.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    MORPHEUSV Treatment Arm

    Participants in this arm will receive a single session of radiofrequency (RF) treatment using the MORPHEUSV device. The treatment is delivered vaginally using a bipolar RF applicator at a therapeutic energy setting. No anesthesia is required. Participants will be followed for 12 months to evaluate safety and effectiveness.

    Device: Detrusor nerve radiofrequency ablation

  • Sham comparator
    Sham Control Arm

    Participants in this arm will undergo a procedure using a visually identical MORPHEUSV applicator, but without RF energy delivery (sham). The procedure mimics the appearance and duration of the active treatment. Participants will be followed for 12 months. After completing the 6-month follow-up, they may elect to cross over and receive a single session of the active RF treatment.

    Device: Simulated (sham) detrusor nerve radiofrequency ablation

Interventions

  • DeviceDetrusor nerve radiofrequency ablation

    A single, vaginal radiofrequency (RF) treatment. The procedure is performed with a bipolar RF applicator and requires no anesthesia. Delivered in a single session in an outpatient setting.

  • DeviceSimulated (sham) detrusor nerve radiofrequency ablation

    A simulated (sham) radiofrequency (RF) treatment, but with no energy delivered. The procedure mimics the appearance, duration, and positioning of the active device, without therapeutic effect.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of participants achieving ≥50% reduction in weekly urge urinary incontinence (UUI) episodes

    The percentage of participants who achieve at least a 50% reduction from baseline in the number of UUI episodes per week, as recorded in a 7-day bladder diary. This is the primary efficacy endpoint used to evaluate the effectiveness of the MORPHEUSV device compared to sham.

    Time frame: 6 months post-treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in mean number of UUI episodes per week

    Mean change in UUI episodes per week from baseline, based on 7-day bladder diary.

    Time frame: 6 months

  2. Change from baseline in mean number of urgency episodes per week

    Mean change in urgency episodes per week from baseline, based on bladder diary.

    Time frame: 6 months

  3. Change from baseline in mean number of micturitions per 24 hours

    Change in average number of daily voids as measured via bladder diary.

    Time frame: 6 Months

  4. Change from baseline in Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL) total score

    Mean change from baseline in total score on the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QOL), a validated 22-item patient-reported outcome measure assessing the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life. Total scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

    Time frame: 6 Months

  5. Change from baseline in Urgency Perception Scale (UPS) score

    Mean change from baseline in urgency perception severity measured using the Urgency Perception Scale (UPS), a validated patient-reported scale assessing urinary urgency severity. UPS scores range from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating greater urgency severity (worse symptoms).

    Time frame: 6 Months

  6. Incidence and severity of adverse events

    Frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events in each arm, collected at all follow-up visits.

    Time frame: 12 Months

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 Jan 30, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
