Primary outcomes
- Number of Responders Defined as Having at Least a 30% Reduction in the O'Leary-Sant Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index (ICSI) From Baseline to Study Endpoint — Baseline to Week 24
The ICSI is a four-item self-administered instrument developed for the evaluation and management of patients with interstitial cystitis. The index measures the presence and extent of symptoms including urinary urgency, urinary frequency, nocturia and pain/burning in the bladder. Each question in the ICSI is on a 0-5 scale, where each answer is given a specific rating. The sum of the individual question ratings is the score for the ICSI. The range of the test is a score of 0 to 20. A lower score indicates a better condition.
