About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of AV608 in Subjects With Idiopathic Detrusor Overactivity

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of AV608, a neurokinin 1 (NK-1) antagonist, in subjects with Idiopathic Detrusor Overactivity.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AV608 in subjects with idiopathic detrusor overactivity. Female subjects between 18 and 65 years of age with a diagnosis of Overactive Bladder Syndrome and urodynamic observation of involuntary detrusor contractions during the filling phase will be eligible for the trial.

Eligible subjects will complete a baseline urodynamic assessment. All subjects who participate in the study will receive 3 weeks of treatment with AV608 or placebo. At the end of the treatment period, subjects will complete a second urodynamic assessment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison between treatment groups of the change from baseline in maximum cystometric bladder capacity

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Delay of the first involuntary detrusor contraction associated with symptomatic urgency

  2. Urgency, frequency and urge incontinence events as recorded in the Subject Micturition Diary

  3. Urgency Perception Scale

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AV608 in people with Overactive Bladder Syndrome, run by Avera Pharmaceuticals at 13 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United Kingdom, Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Animal Safety Data). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison between treatment groups of the change from baseline in maximum cystometric bladder capacity. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Feb 2008.
