FDA has approved a Valencia Technologies IDE to conduct a 20-site pivotal clinical trial using its eCoin device technology to treat overactive bladder. The device is intended to work by sending out electrical impulses to the tibial nerve which processes signals to the brain area that controls bladder response. It is about the size of a nickel andValencia says it is implanted in a 10-minute in-office procedure. The protocol approved by the agency will evaluate the device’s effectiveness compared to the published results of a leading drug, the company says. If proven, patients will have an effective alternative to drugs currently on the market—without side-effects.
