| Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events | Three months after stem cell injection | Any TEAEs reported by patients or assessed by laboratory and image work up |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|

| Changes of pain after stem cell injection | Changes of Pain from baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after stem cell injection | Assessed by VAS (Visual Analog Scale) |
| Changes of Hunner lesion after stem cell injection | Changes of Hunner lesion from baseline, 1, 3, 6, 12 months after stem cell injection | Assessed by cystoscopy (number, sized, location) |
| Changes of voiding profiles after stem cell injection | Changes of voiding profiles from baseline, 1, 3, 6, 12 months after stem cell injection | Assessed by voiding diary (frequency, nocturia, urgency, urge incontinence and mean voided volume) |
| Changes of PUF (Pelvic Pain and Urgency/Frequency) scores after stem cell injection | Changes of PUF score from baseline, 1, 3, 6, 12 months after stem cell injection | Assessed by PUF questionnaire |
