Trial summary

Urinary urgency is a key symptom of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and may be more bothersome to a patient than the symptom of urinary frequency. Unfortunately, controversy continues to surround the term 'urgency' and there is no good tool to evaluate the severity of urgency. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Validation of a Real-time Urodynamic Measure of Urinary Urgency as a Measure of the Success of Drug Treatment

Urinary urgency is a key symptom of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and may be more bothersome to a patient than the symptom of urinary frequency. Unfortunately, controversy continues to surround the term 'urgency' and there is no good tool to evaluate the severity of urgency. This fact has constrained the performance of clinical research in this field. The cause of urinary urgency is not fully understood and may vary from patient to patient.

Although clinicians regularly obtain measures of bladder sensation during cystometry, little attention has been paid to the patient experience of urinary urgency. In this study, the researchers will use a non-significant risk device (i.e., an Urgeometer) to measure urinary urgency in women with overactive bladder.

Read the detailed description

At baseline, a small catheter is placed inside the participant's bladder. The bladder is filled with sterile water through the catheter. As the bladder is filled, the participant is asked to rate their urinary urgency using the Urgeometer. The Urgeometer lever marks a continuous scale from 0 'no urge at all' to 100 'maximum urge which you can tolerate'. The testing is stopped once the bladder is filled. To minimize the chance of infection, participants receive one dose of oral antibiotics prior to the bladder testing.

Following completion of the bladder test, participants will take 10mg solifenacin succinate (VesicareR) daily for 30 days. Afterward, participants repeat the bladder test. The change in participants' maximal tolerated cystometric capacity (MCC) will be measured in milliliters and used to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Maximal Cystometric Capacity (mL)

    At baseline, a small catheter is placed inside the participant's bladder. The bladder is filled with sterile water through the catheter and participants' maximal tolerated cystometric capacity (MCC) is measured in milliliters. Following completion of the bladder test, participants take 10mg solifenacin succinate (VesicareR) daily for 30 days. After 30 days of treatment, participants repeat the bladder test. Change in the MCC is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug.

    Measured: 30 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Solifenacin Succinate in people with Overactive Bladder Syndrome, run by Loyola 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 24 May 2017. 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 24 May 2017). 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 in Maximal Cystometric Capacity (mL) (time frame: 30 Days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00909428, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 24 May 2017.
