Frequently Asked Questions
If you qualify for participation in this study, you may be eligible for compensation and/or reimbursement from the study sponsor covering your site visits to the Westlake Village, CA location. This includes roundtrip airfare/transportation, hotel/lodging, and all travel-related incidental expenses, for all required visits directly related to the study. For more information on the amount of travel expenses allowed per visit, please discuss this with the research site.
The investigational product, called “autologous muscle-derived cells for urinary sphincter repair” (AMDC), is made from your own cells! We’ll take a bit of your muscle cells from your leg with an outpatient procedure. Then, we’ll give those cells back to your body, in your urinary sphincter, which is often the root problem for SUI.
Examples of previous surgery for stress urinary incontinence could include synthetic midurethral sling, autologous fascial sling, or retropubic urethropexy or suspension. Please note that bulking agent treatment does not qualify as surgery.
A placebo is a treatment that is not active. In clinical trials, we give some people a placebo and some people the investigational drug, then compare the two to see if the study drug works.
Yes, there is a placebo. You’ll have a 50% chance of getting the placebo and a 50% chance of getting the investigational product. However, if you do get the placebo, you will have the opportunity to get the investigational product at no cost, after the first year of the study.
No, there is no cost to participate, and you don’t need to have insurance.
Stress urinary incontinence is a very common condition in women of all ages, where urine leaks when there is a sudden increased pressure on the bladder, such as when laughing, coughing, sneezing, or exercising.
