  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The Trans-MAPP EP Study population will include adult participants, at least 18 years of age, with urological chronic pelvic pain syndromes. Approximately half of the participants will be male, and half will have recent onset (within two years) of pelvic pain symptoms and/or limited treatment as determined by self-report.

Who may be able to join

  • Participant has signed and dated the appropriate Informed Consent document.
  • Agreed to participate in Trans-MAPP EP Study procedures.
  • Participant reports a response of at least 1 on the pain, pressure or discomfort scale.
  • For males or females (IC/PBS criteria)
  • 1. Participant reports an unpleasant sensation of pain, pressure or discomfort, perceived to be related to the bladder and/or pelvic region, associated with lower urinary tract symptoms for the majority of the time during any 3 months in the previous 6 months or for the majority of the time during the most recent 3 months.
  • For males only (CP/CPPS criteria)
  • 1. Male participant reports pain or discomfort in any of the 8 domains of the Male Genitourinary Pain Index for the majority of the time during any 3 months in the previous 6 months

Who cannot join

  • Individuals will not be eligible for enrollment in the Trans-MAPP EP Study if they meet any of the criteria listed below. Participants who develop any of these exclusion criteria during the follow-up phase of the study will continue to be followed, and included in the cohort study.
  • Participant has an on-going symptomatic urethral stricture.
  • Participant has an on-going neurological disease or disorder affecting the bladder or bowel fistula.
  • Participant has a history of cystitis caused by tuberculosis, radiation therapy or Cytoxan/cyclophosphamide therapy.

About this study

Official title: Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain: Trans-MAPP Epidemiology and Phenotyping (EP) Study

The Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network has been established to focus on a broader approach to the study of Interstitial Cystitis (IC)/Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS) in men and women, and Chronic Prostatitis (CP)/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) in men, than previously undertaken. Participants with some form or symptoms of IC or CP are being asked to join the Trans-MAPP Epidemiology and Phenotyping (EP) Study.

As with many chronic pain disorders, IC and CP are poorly understood, and treatment is often not helpful. The goal of this study is to better understand how pain is felt in people with IC or CP. The MAPP EP Study is an observational study that will enroll approximately 360 participants from 6 Discovery Sites and 3 Satellite Sites across the U.S. We will ask questions and gather information about the health and life of the participants for research purposes. No study treatment or interventions will be given to participants in MAPP. We hope that this study will lead to improvement in the treatment of IC and CP.

Read the detailed description

Potentially eligible participants will be scheduled for an eligibility screening session, followed by an extensive baseline phenotyping session, which together are expected to take approximately 2.5 hours to complete. Participants will be provided with breaks as needed during the clinic visit. The eligibility screening session is intended to collect the minimally sufficient data to confirm eligibility, so that the extensive baseline phenotyping session is initiated only for participants highly likely to be confirmed after the 48 hour urine culture results are known.

Participants who enroll in the study and complete a baseline clinic visit will be followed up with bi-weekly and bi-monthly internet-based questionnaires, as well as in-clinic visits at 6 and 12 months.

Participants will provide self-reported symptom data using web based internet tools on a bi-weekly basis. These questions are expected to be completed within 5-7 minutes.

A more extensive set of questionnaires will be administered to each participant every two months during the 12-month study period. The bi-monthly assessment will also be administered via the internet, and the questions are expected to be completed within 10-15 minutes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Longitudinal outcomes for MAPP Participants

    Extensive data on risk factors and outcomes measures will be collected for the Trans-MAPP EP Study. These measures can be classified into a number of primary domains as described below.

    1. Single point in time: this includes measures that do not change over time, such as demographic information, "trait measures" (e.g., personality), and early life history measures. In general, these measures are collected at the initial in-person clinic visit, although some are collected in the second (6-month) in-person visit to reduce participant burden at baseline;
    2. Baseline, 6-month and 12-month phenotyping in-clinic visits;
    3. Bi-monthly personal internet-based assessment;
    4. Bi-weekly personal internet-based assessment.

    Measured: Baseline/6 month/12 month/ bi-weekly/bi-monthly

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Longitudinal outcomes for MAPP Participants (time frame: Baseline/6 month/12 month/ bi-weekly/bi-monthly). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01098279, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
