A new research study is being conducted at investigational sites in the US and Canada for women diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, effectiveness and tolerability of an investigational product that delivers the drug lidocaine continuously over 14 days directly into the bladder. Known as LiRIS® , the product is a soft silicone tube containing lidocaine that is placed in the bladder using standard urological procedures in the urologist’s office and then is removed 14 days later. This study compares the lidocaine system with a placebo system, the same silicone tube with no active drug.

The study requires participants to complete up to five clinic visits and two phone calls over an eight week period. You may be eligible to participate in this study if you are a female 18 years of age or older, diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis, and experiencing bladder pain, along with additional criteria.
