Clinical Studies

Pelvic Health Electrically Evoked Recording (PEER) 2 Study (PEER2) Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to collect recordings of signals resulting from stimulation of a sacral nerve (stimulation evoked signals) using prototype investigational systems. Signals will be collected using various stimulation paradigms at several time points after lead implant during the therapy evaluation period. Signals will also be collected as the subject completes activities of daily living to understand factors that contribute to signal features.

Long-Term Patient Outcomes Following Vaginal, Open or Robotic Surgery for Post-hysterectomy Vaginal Vault Prolapse Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to determine the degree of symptom relief, and retreatment rates following Mayo-McCall culdoplasty (MMC), open abdominal sacrocolpopexy (ASC), and robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSC) for post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse.

Evaluation of Implantable Tibial Neuromodulation (TITAN 2) Pivotal Study (TITAN 2) Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of tibial neuromodulation using the Medtronic Tibial Neuromodulation (TNM) system by demonstrating that the percentage of subjects considered a UUI responder after 6 months of tibial neuromodulation exceeds a performance goal of 40%.
Multi-Institutional Study To Evaluate DNA Methylation Markers For Detection of Primary Bladder Cancers In Urine Samples From a Cohort Of Patients With Hematuria. Rochester, Minn.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the methylation marker

panel for the detection of bladder cancer in patients with gross or microscopic hematuria.

The secondary objective is to evaluate the predictive accuracy of a risk model including clinical

factors such as age, gender, smoking history, and presence of gross versus microscopic hematuria compared to a model incorporating the same risk factors along with the methylation

marker panel.
