Autologous muscle stem cell therapy for urinary incontinence in epispadias
Part of Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment using your own muscle stem cells to help strengthen the muscle that controls urination. It is designed for boys with epispadias who leak urine, and the goal is to improve bladder control without major surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male and at least 3 years old.
- You have isolated epispadias, a rare birth defect where the urinary opening is not at the tip of the penis.
- You experience urinary incontinence (leaking urine) related to your epispadias.
- You must not have an active infection, bleeding problem, past bad reaction to anesthesia, or a heart condition like a defect or irregular rhythm.

This early-phase trial tests a treatment made from muscle fragments to improve urinary incontinence caused by weakness of the urethral “sphincter” (the valve that holds urine). It may help people with certain types of incontinence, but it also requires meeting several bladder and health criteria for safety.
This study tests a non-invasive (no surgery or needles) electrical stimulation device to help men regain bladder control after prostate removal surgery. The device uses gentle electrical pulses on the pelvic floor muscles to retrain them and reduce urine leakage.
This study tests a new artificial urinary sphincter (a device that helps control urine flow) for men with severe stress incontinence (leakage during activity) that has lasted over a year. If you qualify, the device is implanted to help you stay dry. It is not for everyone, so the study will check your health history carefully.
This trial tests whether a single injection of stem cells from donated fat tissue can help women over 50 with stress urinary incontinence. It is for those who haven't gotten better with exercises or who want to avoid surgery.
This Phase 3 study tests an implant made from a person’s own muscle-related cells to improve fecal “urge” leakage. It’s for adults whose symptoms haven’t improved enough with usual conservative treatments.
This trial tests a surgery that uses a muscle from your belly to help your bladder empty. It may be an option if you have trouble urinating because your bladder muscle is too weak to contract.
