Fecal Incontinence Indication in U.S. CONFIDeNT Study (United Kingdom)Physician-initiated, multi-center, double-blinded RCT of PTNS vs. sham12 weekly PTNS treatments, 30 minutes per treatment1:1 randomization, 227 patients (115 PTNS arm, 112 sham arm)Primary outcome: Proportion of patients achieving ≥ 50% reduction in weekly fecal incontinence episodes (FIE) similar in both arms; 38% in the PTNS arm vs. 31% in the sham armConclusion from 12 week CONFIDeNT results: PTNS has no significant benefit over sham electrical stimulation in the treatment of fecal incontinence.
U.S. Fecal Incontinence Pivotal Trial Status Patient outcomes seen in the CONFIDeNT Study differ from other published clinical data as well our own unpublished U.S. fecal incontinence (FI) pilot study results.However, additional studies will be needed to resolve differences in data before initiating a pivotal study of PTNS for FI in the U.S.There are significant costs and time delays associated with additional pilot studies needed to determine the optimal FI population and evaluation parameters for a pivotal study of PTNS for FI.Due to these high additional costs and delays before we can initiate a pivotal trial, we will suspend efforts to obtain a FI indication for PTNS in the U.S.The clinical experience with PTNS outside the U.S. continues to be positive, and the value of PTNS as a minimally invasive therapy for patients suffering from fecal incontinence continues to be demonstrated by its ongoing use by physicians and other clinicians in several countries outside the U.S. The clinical experience with PTNS outside the U.S. continues to be positive, and the value of PTNS as a minimally invasive therapy for patients suffering from fecal incontinence continues to be demonstrated by its ongoing use by physicians and other clinicians in several countries outside the U.S.
