Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phenotyping Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) by Intravesical Contrast Enhanced - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (ICE-MRI) Bladder Permeability Assay (NCT NCT05811377)

NCT ID: NCT05811377

Last Updated: 2026-07-10

Results Overview

Changes in bladder permeability were demonstrated by increased or decreased absorption of the contrast- Gadobutrol. This was measured in artificial units through signal intensity. Increased absorption was shown with brighter color in the bladder wall (associated with higher artificial unit values), while less absorption was demonstrated with darker color (associated with lower artificial unit values). Elevated absorption of instilled Gadobutrol into bladder wall was assessed with the darker appearance of the bladder center.
