General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of treatment with 2 different doses of oral AQX-1125 (100 mg or 200 mg) administered once daily compared to placebo on the change from Baseline (Visit 2) to Week 12 (Visit 4) in maximum daily bladder pain in subjects with IC/BPS using a standardized 11-point NRS pain score recorded daily by electronic diary (e-diary).
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles of the “Declaration of Helsinki” and International Council on Harmonisation guideline on Good Clinical Practice (GCP). This clinical trial was reviewed and approved by the appropriate Regulatory Health Agency and Ethics Committee.
