Effects and Safety of Liposome Encapsulated Botulinum Toxin A for Overactive Bladder Syndrome

Summary

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a bothered symptom syndrome. Traditional medication for OAB is antimuscarinic agent. However, adverse events such as dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and dizziness may prohibit patient to take this drug for OAB. Intravesical botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) is a novel treatment however, BoNT-A can cause acute urinary retention and large postvoid residual. In this grant we will evaluate liquid liposome delivery of BoNT-A (Liposome encapsulated BoNT-A) into the bladder without the need for cystoscopic-guided needle injection for refractory OAB.
