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 3, we continued online and clinical collection with all sites; we currently have 1817 samples collected. In addition, 3 manuscripts related to this study were published, and our work was presented at the 2022 annual meeting of the American Urological Association. During year 3, this grant got transitioned to a new PI, Dr. Bernadette Zwaans, as Dr. Lamb pursued other career opportunities. Dr. Zwaans is dedicated to completing the aims of this grant. Although we encountered delays in our research due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are on track to complete all the aims of this grant. A request for NCE was approved in spring of 2022.
