About this study

Official title: A 14-day, Open-label, Multicenter, Dose-escalating, Sequential Cohort Study to Evaluate Pharmacodynamics (Urodynamics) and Pharmacokinetics, Clinical Efficacy, Tolerability and Safety Following Multiple Doses (mg/kg/Day) of a Darifenacin Liquid Oral Suspension Given BID in Children, Ages 2 - 15 Years, With Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity

This study will evaluate the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of darifenacin liquid oral suspension in children, ages 2-15 years, with neurogenic detrusor overactivity. The results will support a benefit-risk based dosage recommendation for phase IIIa clinical trials.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Maximum Bladder Capacity (MBC)

    MBC was defined as the volume of urine at which significant urinary leakage (i.e. leakage that prevents further volume increase) or significant discomfort/pain occurs, or a detrusor pressure at 40 centimeter (cm) H2O was reached.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 14

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Volume at First Contraction

    Average volume of urine collected by catheterization at first contraction.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 14

  2. Change From Baseline in Detrusor Pressure at First Contraction

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 14

  3. Change From Baseline in Mean Volume at First Detectable Leakage

    Average volume of urine collected by catheterization at first detectable leakage.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 14

  4. Change From Baseline in Mean Volume at 10, 20, 30, and 40 cm H2O Detrusor Pressure

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 14

  5. Change From Baseline in Mean Catheterization Volume

    Average volume of urine was collected by catheterization and was recorded in a bladder diary. Bladder volume was assessed by urodynamics. The bladder diary entries completed on any 2 consecutive days after completing wash-out and prior to the baseline urodynamic examination on Visit 2 was used to calculate the baseline (Day-1) i.e. Visit 2 values. Similarly, the bladder diary entries completed on any 2 consecutive days during the week prior to the final study visit on Day 14 i.e. Visit 4 was used to calculate the Visit 4 values. The positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline (Day -1) to 2 consecutive days during the week prior to final study Day 14

  6. Change From Baseline in Total Pad Weight In-between Catheterizations

    Urodynamic test was used to assess the total pad weight in-between catheterizations. The change in total pad weight in-between catheterizations was recorded in the bladder diary. The bladder diary entries completed on any 2 consecutive days after completing wash-out and prior to the baseline urodynamic examination on Visit 2 was used to calculate the baseline (Day-1) i.e. Visit 2 values. Similarly, the bladder diary entries completed on any 2 consecutive days during the week prior to the final study visit on Day 14 i.e. Visit 4 was used to calculate the Visit 4 values. The positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline (Day -1) to 2 consecutive days during the week prior to final study Day 14

  7. Change From Baseline in Mean Catheterization Volume at First Awakening

    The change in urine volume at first awakening catherization was recorded by the participant in a bladder diary. Bladder volume was assessed by urodynamics. The bladder diary entries completed on any 2 consecutive days after completing wash-out and prior to the baseline urodynamic examination on Visit 2 was used to calculate the baseline (Day-1) i.e. Visit 2 values. Similarly, the bladder diary entries completed on any 2 consecutive days during the week prior to the final study visit on Day 14 i.e. Visit 4 was used to calculate the Visit 4 values. The positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline (Day -1) to 2 consecutive days during the week prior to final study Day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Darifenacin in people with Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity, run by Warner Chilcott at 12 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 6 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 9 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, Colombia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jun 2022). 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?

Change From Baseline in Mean Maximum Bladder Capacity (MBC) (time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Day 14). 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 9 Jun 2022.
