Official Title: A Phase II/III Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Induced Reflex Cough Test Plus Urodynamics to Identify Stress Urinary Incontinence in Female Subjects With a History of Stress Urinary Incontinence

Further study details as provided by Pneumoflex Systems, LLC:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Sensitivity to identify SUI in women with a history of SUI and specificity to not identify SUI in healthy women without a history of SUI [ Time Frame: Study Day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of the IRCT administered with urodynamic testing [ Time Frame: Study Day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Urodynamic parameters after IRCT and VCT in normal healthy women and women with a history of SUI [ Time Frame: Study Day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 180
Study Start Date: December 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date: June 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date: April 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
