A Randomized Trial of Transurethral Bulking Agent Injection Versus Single-Incision Sling for Stress Urinary Incontinence
NICHD Pelvic Floor Disorders Network
Summary
This is a multicentered, double-blind, randomized controlled, surgical trial of 358 women with inadequate symptom relief of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or stress predominant mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) after conservative care. The Primary Aim is to determine the comparative effectiveness (as defined by "much" or "very much" better on PGI-I) of transurethral bulking agent (TBA) \[for 1 or 2 injections in 12 months\] vs. single-incision sling (SIS) 12 months after treatment intervention in women with predominant stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Description
The BASIS trial is a multicentered, double-blind, randomized controlled, surgical trial with two active interventions, 1) a transurethral bulking agent (TBA) or 2) a single-incision sling (SIS). Both interventions are FDA-approved treatment options for urinary incontinence and will be used in line with their approved use. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the interventions. A total of 358 women will be randomized 1:1 to TBA or SIS. All participants will have data including demographics, medical history, and quality of life assessments as they relate to urinary incontinence coll…
