Deployable Interstitial Cystitis Urine Diagnostic Technology Development

Abstract

This proposal directly focuses on the PRMRP Topic Area of Interstitial Cystitis (IC), including the Area of Encouragement for the identification of biological markers for making a definitive diagnosis of IC. This is not a clinical trial as there is no intervention. The objective of this grant is to develop a new diagnostic tool, the Interstitial Cystitis Risk Score (IC-RS), to identify and classify IC patients. In year 1, we have obtained IRB and HRPO approval for all study sites, optimized study collection materials and tools in English and Spanish including online videos, website, and recruitment tools, and collaborated with patient advocacy organizations. We have started clinical collection with all sites starting recruitment, with 60 samples collected. Although we encountered delays in our research with longer than expected to secure HRPO approval (now approved) and delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we do not expect any further delays. We are on track to proceed with the crowdsourcing in September 2020.
