The URIS® trial was an international, prospective, randomized, an active comparator-controlled, multicenter trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of peroneal eTNM^® using URIS® neuromodulation system versus solifenacin in patients with OAB symptoms, including frequent urination, sudden urge to urinate, and/or urge incontinence. A total of 77 patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio into one of two groups for a 12-week treatment period with a four-week safety follow-up period: URIS^® neuromodulation system was administered once daily for 30 minutes, while Solifenacin 5 mg was administered orally once daily.

In the trial, URIS^® neuromodulation system demonstrated consistent efficacy, was well tolerated and showed a significantly better safety profile over solifenacin.

"The results of this study demonstrate that peroneal eTNM^® using the URIS® neuromodulation system is safe, well tolerated, and effective, with over 85% of patients experiencing clinically significant improvement in most bothersome OAB symptoms. Importantly, peroneal eTNM^® is associated with significantly lower incidence of treatment-related adverse events compared to solifenacin," says Prof. Jan Krhut, a key investigator in the URIS® trial, a Professor of Urology at University of Ostrava and adds: "The results of this clinical trial have demonstrated that URIS® neuromodulation system could provide an important new non-invasive modality to oral treatment for patients suffering with OAB." 

"Over hundreds of millions worldwide suffer from OAB symptoms, and more than 80% of patients cannot find relief due to side effects or low effectiveness of oral pharmacotherapy. URIS® neuromodulation system is safe and effective for overactive bladder treatment associated with a considerably better benefit-risk profile over oral pharmacotherapy and significantly positive impact on patient´s Quality of Life," says Dr. Roman V. Dvorak, Chief Medical Officer of Stimvia.
