Open Label, Pilot Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Intravesical Sustained Release System of Lidocaine and Oxybutynin (TRG-100) for Patients With Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome, Overactive Bladder and Patients With Retained Ureteral Stents Following Endourological Interventions.

Background: Intravesical instillation of analgesic and anticholinergic drugs have shown efficacy in the treatment of pain and voiding symptoms. Unfortunately, drug loss with urination and dilution in the bladder limit their durability and clinical usefulness. We have recently developed and tested in vitro, a sustained delivery system (TRG-100) of fixed-dose combination of lidocaine and oxybutynin designed to allow for a longer exposure of the urinary bladder to the drugs.

Intravesical sustained release system of lidocaine and oxybutynin results from in vitro and animal study.

Purpose: Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic debilitating condition of unknown etiology. Intravesical lidocaine demonstrated pain relief in patients with IC/BPS. Intravesical oxybutynin has shown therapeutic efficacy in patients with urinary bladder disorders.

Objective: The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the 11 million people currently incarcerated worldwide is the subject of many concerns. Prisons and jails are filled with people suffering from many preexisting medical conditions increasing the risk of complications. Detainees' access to medical services is already limited and overcrowding poses a threat of massive contagion.

Disruption of adolescents' circadian clock: The vicious circle of media use, exposure to light at night, sleep loss and risk behaviors.

Although sleep is a key element in adolescent development, teens are spending increasing amounts of time online with health risks related to excessive use of electronic media (computers, smartphones, tablets, consoles…) negatively associated with daytime functioning and sleep outcomes. Adolescent sleep becomes irregular, shortened and delayed in relation with later sleep onset and early waking time due to early school starting times on weekdays which results in rhythm desynchronization and sleep loss. In addition, exposure of adolescents to the numerous electronic devices prior to bedtime has become a great concern because LEDs emit much more blue light than white incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent bulbs and have therefore a greater impact on the biological clock.
