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 2, we started both online and clinical collection with all sites; we currently have 1705 samples collected. Although we encountered delays in our research due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we do not expect any further delays and are on track to complete all the aims of this grant. Indeed, we are very proud of all that was accomplished given this unpreceded pandemic including Dr. Lamb was the recipient of the 2021 COVID Pandemic-related Outstanding Research Accomplishment (Individual) to be the awarded at the Military Health System Research Symposium in August, 2021.
