Lead Product: U101

Urigen’s lead product platform, U101, is a novel and proprietary therapy consisting of FDA-approved components for the treatment of pelvic pain and urgency of bladder origin.

The prevalence of chronic pelvic pain in North America is estimated to be 10.5 million, of which 3.8 million would experience severe symptoms. Rosenberg and Hazzard (J. Urol 174:2231-2234, 2005) reported in a population-based study of over 1,000 female primary care patients that prevalence rates for patients experiencing urinary symptoms related to pelvic pain and urgency/frequency may be significantly higher than previous estimates from a Finnish mail-in study (J. Urol 168:139, 2002).

In a successful Phase IIa (open label) clinical trial in patients with chronic pelvic pain of bladder origin, U101 provided near-immediate symptom relief in 94% of patients, with 80% reporting sustained relief of pain and urgency (J. Urol 65: 45-48, 2005).
