About this study
Official title: An Open Label Study to Measure the Efficacy of Fesoterodine (Toviaz) on Continued Detrusor Overactivity in Patients That Have Undergone Treatment for Bladder Outlet Obstruction
The subjects who have symptoms of overactive bladder (many trips to the bathroom, and urgency with or without the inability to hold your urine until you get to the toilet) are invited to participate in this research study.
Read the detailed description
Overactive bladder is a common sequelae of long-term bladder outlet obstruction in men. Unfortunately, it does not often resolve after treatment of the obstruction (transurethral resection of the prostate). These patients are usually started empirically on alpha-blockers or occasionally anticholinergic agents, former used to treat enlarged prostate medically, and latter, to treat overactive bladder. We hypothesize that these patients would be significantly improved with a long-acting anticholinergic agent such as long acting Fesoterodine or Toviaz.
Earlier studies have shown that anticholinergic drugs seem to have a beneficial effect on symptoms of patients with bladder outlet obstruction and overactive bladder. In addition, anticholinergic drug Toviaz is not associated with increased incidence of complication like acute urinary retention, a state where patient is unable to empty the bladder as an adverse effect of the drug.
A large proportion of our patients that are undergoing treatment for bladder outlet obstruction also have overactive bladder. We propose an open label trial to evaluate the efficacy of Toviaz (fesoterodine) 4mg to 8 mg in patients that have continued symptoms of overactive bladder one month following transurethral resection of the prostate. Toviaz is an antimuscarinic and anticholinergic agent, and is a newer formulation of Detrol. Patients with overactive bladder on urodynamic test preoperatively will be considered. If these patients continue to have symptoms at the one-month post-operative visit, they will be enrolled into the study. We expect a total of 25 patients to be enrolled within 4 months. All patients will receive Toviaz 4mg to 8 mg. The patients will be followed at 3 months post-op, 4 months post-op, and 7 months post-op. At each post-op visit, the patients will fill out an AUA symptom score questionnaire, have noninvasive uroflowmetry performed, and have a post-void residual measured by bladder scan. Using standard statistical analysis, we will see if there is a difference in symptoms, post-void residual, or maximum flow rate between baseline and 7 months post-op. We will continue the study to evaluate long-term efficacy, dropout rate, and complications. An FDA approved flexible dosing regimen will be allowed for the duration of the study.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
IPSS Obstructive
International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) -is a 7 point scale used to screen, track and manage symptoms associated with BPH for obstructive, irritative, nocturia. The symptoms questions include feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, frequency, intermittency, urgency, weak stream, straining and nocturia. Scores range from 1 to 5 for a total of maximum 35 points (0-7 Mildly symptomatic, 8-19 Moderately symptomatic, 20-35 Severely symptomatic). This measure was taken for patients with obstructive symptoms which includes hesitancy or difficulty initiating the stream, straining to void, a reduced flow, an intermittent stream or a sensation of incomplete emptying.
Measured: screening (Month 0), 2-months, 3-months, 7-months
IPSS Irritative
International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) -is a 7 point scale used to screen, track and manage symptoms associated with BPH for obstructive, irritative, nocturia. The symptoms questions include feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, frequency, intermittency, urgency, weak stream, straining and nocturia. Scores range from 1 to 5 for a total of maximum 35 points (0-7 Mildly symptomatic, 8-19 Moderately symptomatic, 20-35 Severely symptomatic). This measure was taken for patients with irritative symptoms which includes frequency, urgency, nocturia and urge incontinence
Measured: screening (Month 0), 2-months, 3-months, 7-months
IPSS Nocturia
International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) -is a 7 point scale used to screen, track and manage symptoms associated with BPH for obstructive, irritative, nocturia. The symptoms questions include feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, frequency, intermittency, urgency, weak stream, straining and nocturia. Scores range from 1 to 5 for a total of maximum 35 points (0-7 Mildly symptomatic, 8-19 Moderately symptomatic, 20-35 Severely symptomatic). This measure was taken for patients with nocturia meaning individuals who wake up during sleeping hours to urinate.
Measured: screening (Month 0), 2-months, 3-months, 7-months
International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) Quality of Life (QoL)
IPSS Quality of Life (QoL) is one question used to assess how the patient's symptoms affect their quality of life. A score ranges from 1 to 6, with 6 being the worse outcome.
Measured: screening (Month 0), 2-months, 3-months, 7-months
Maximum Flow Rate (Qmax)
Urodynamics was used to meause maximum flow rate (Qmax) which is the maximum recorded flow rate of urinary
Measured: screening (Month 0), 2-months, 3-months, 7-months
Average Flow Rate (Qavg)
Average (mean) flow rate (Qavg) is the the volume of urine voided divided by the continuous flow time
Measured: screening (Month 0), 2-months, 3-months, 7-months
Postvoid Residual Volume (PVR)
Postvoid residual volume (PVR) is the volume of fluid remaining in the bladder immediately after the completion of micturition.
Measured: screening (Month 0), 2-months, 3-months, 7-months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Toviaz (Fesoterodine) in people with Bladder Outlet Obstruction, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University at 1 site in United States.
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 6 inclusion and 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Apr 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
IPSS Obstructive (time frame: screening (Month 0), 2-months, 3-months, 7-months). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Apr 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
