This study looks at the effects of a medicine called V117957 for people with interstitial cystitis (IC) or bladder pain syndrome (BPS). IC/BPS is when someone feels pain or pressure in the bladder that lasts over six weeks without any infection. The study compares V117957 to a placebo, which is a fake medicine that doesn't have any active ingredients. The goal is to see if V117957 is safe and helps reduce symptoms.

• The study is for females aged 18 and up who meet specific criteria.
• Participants must not have recent urinary infections or serious bladder issues.
• Participants will be monitored to ensure they meet safety standards.

If you're interested in joining, be ready for evaluations and to use birth control. This study might help understand if V117957 can ease the pain from IC/BPS. There are risks to consider, like potential medicine side effects. Be sure to discuss your medical history with the study team to determine if this study is right for you.
