Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Daily Average Bladder Pain to Treatment 1 Week 4 Follow-up
Baseline (Days -7 to 0) to Treatment 1 Week 4

The participant recorded their bladder pain over the previous 24-hour period in a 7-day pain assessment tool using an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) (0 to 10) where 0=no pain to 10= worst pain. Pain data recorded over the 7-day period were averaged. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. An Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with baseline value as a covariate and treatment group and stratification factors (age group: \< 40 years or ≥ 40 years and baseline bladder pain NRS: ≤ 6 or \> 6) as factors was used for analysis.

Change From Baseline in the Daily Average Bladder Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
Baseline (Day -7 to Day 0) to Week 4

The participant recorded their daily bladder pain score over the previous 24-hour period on a 7-day pain assessment tool as measured by an NRS on an 11-point scale where 0=no pain to 10=worst pain imaginable. The daily pain scores over the 7-day period were averaged. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with Baseline value as a covariate and treatment group and stratification (baseline bladder pain NRS: ≤ 5 or \> 5) as factors was used for analysis.

Percentage of Participants by Change From Baseline in Appearance of Hunner's Lesions at Day 14
Baseline, Day 14

The appearance of the Hunner's lesions was assessed by the investigator using video capture of the bladder mucosa during the cystoscopic examinations. Complete responders (CR)=no lesions observed at day of last LiRIS removal; Partial responders (PR)=presence of residual lesions on day of last LiRIS removal however there is cystoscopic evidence of a decrease in either: i) the affected area as calculated by size and dimension of individual lesions summed together or ii) the lesion number or iii) the lesion(s) severity (mild, moderate, severe) as compared with Baseline assessment; Stable Disease=no change in the appearance of lesions and no new lesions on day of last LiRIS removal compared with Baseline assessment; Non-responders=worsening of mucosal appearance on day of last LiRIS removal.

Percentage of Participants by Change From Baseline in Appearance of Hunner's Lesions at Day 28
Baseline, Day 28

The appearance of the Hunner's lesions was assessed by the investigator using video capture of the bladder mucosa during the cystoscopic examinations. Complete responders (CR)=no lesions observed at day of last LiRIS removal; Partial responders (PR) = presence of residual lesions on day of last LiRIS removal however there is cystoscopic evidence of a decrease in either i) the affected area as calculated by size and dimension of individual lesions summed together or ii) the lesion number or iii) the lesion(s) severity (mild, moderate, severe) as compared with Baseline assessment; Stable Disease=no change in the appearance of lesions and no new lesions on day of last LiRIS removal compared with Baseline assessment; Non-responders=worsening of mucosal appearance on day of last LiRIS removal.

Frequently asked questions about LiRIS

What is LiRIS used for?

LiRIS is being developed for the treatment of interstitial cystitis, also called bladder pain syndrome, including chronic interstitial cystitis and cases with Hunner's lesions. It is an investigational therapy studied in adult women. LiRIS has not been approved for commercial use and remains in clinical development.

Who makes LiRIS?

LiRIS is developed by AbbVie Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABBV. AbbVie holds the development program for this investigational interstitial cystitis therapy.
