About this study

The objective of this study is to find out what the pharmacokinetic/dynamic (PK/PD) characteristics of desmopressin melt are in nocturia patients (compared to healthy volunteers and children). The main questions the investigators want to answer are:

  • Are differences related to the pathophysiological factors involved in nocturia?
  • Are there age/gender/size differences?
  • Can the investigators identify patients who are likely to develop hyponatraemia?
  • Can the investigators individualize treatment and reduce risk for hyponatraemia?

Day 1:

  • Patient is being hospitalized in the morning
  • General anamnesis and clinical examination
  • Uroflow and residue measurements (3x)
  • Sober blood sample, to determine plasma concentrations of Na+, Cl-, osmolality and creatinin

Day 1-2:

  • In the evening at 20h:
  • start (with empty bladder!) 24h miction-incontinence-residue registration: urine collections every 3 hours (every portion of urine within a period of 3 hours must be collected in the same collection device), with: registration of volumes and measurement urinary concentrations of Na+, Cl-, osmolality and creatinin
  • Measurement of blood pressure during 24h

Day 2-3:

  • In the evening at 19h (day 2): drink 15mL/kg water
  • At 20h: take desmopressin melt 120µg + start:
  • 24h miction-incontinence-residue registration: registration of volumes and measurement urinary concentrations of Na+, Cl-, osmolality and creatinin (U1-U7)
  • Measurement of blood pressure during 24h
  • Collection of urine:U1 at 19h, U2 at 20h, together with intake of first desmopressin melt, U3 at 21h = 1h after desmopressin melt intake, U4 at 22h = 2 after desmopressin melt intake,U5 at 23h = 3h after desmopressin melt intake, U6 at 2h (day 3) = 6h after desmopressin melt intake, U7 at 8h = 12h after desmopressin melt intake
  • Blood samples for blood levels of desmopressin: 1h, 2h, 3h, 6h after desmopressin melt intake, 12h after desmopressin melt intake + plasma concentrations of Na+, Cl-, osmolality and creatinin (safety profile)
  • At 8h in the morning (day 3): drink 15mL/kg water + collection of urine per hour during 3h with measurement of urinary concentrations of Na+, Cl-, osmolality and creatinin: U8 at 9h, U9 at 10h, U10 at 11h
  • Patient can go home on day 3, unless he is at high risk for side effects, high-risk patients are hospitalized for 7 days

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetic and dynamic evaluation of desmopressin melt for treatment of nocturnal polyuria in adults

    • blood analysis for plasma concentration of desmopressin: 1h, 2h, 3h, 6h and 12h after drug intake
    • urine analysis for urinary concentration of sodium, potassium, creatinin and osmolality:
    • after water load with 15ml/kg body weight (evening day 2): the moment of drug intake, 1h, 2h, 3h, 6h and 12h after drug intake
    • after water load with 15ml/kg body weight (morning day 3): 1h, 2h, 3h after water load

    Measured: hospitalisation of 3 days of which 15h specific for primary outcome measurements

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. 24h miction-incontinence-residue registration: urine collections every 3 hours

    24h miction-incontinence-residu registration: urine collections every 3 hours (every portion of urine within a period of 3 hours must be collected in the same collection device), with:

    • Registration of volumes
    • Measurement urinary concentrations of Na+, Cl-, osmolality and creatinin

    Measured: 2x 24h: day 1 19h - day 2 19h ; day 2 20h - day 3 20h

  2. Measurement of blood pressure during 24h

    Measured: 2x 24h: day 1 19h - day 2 19h ; day 2 20h - day 3 20h

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Desmopressin in people with Nocturnal Polyuria, run by University Hospital, Ghent at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 inclusion and 10 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 5 Dec 2014. 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 Belgium. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Pharmacokinetic and dynamic evaluation of desmopressin melt for treatment of nocturnal polyuria in adults (time frame: hospitalisation of 3 days of which 15h specific for primary outcome measurements). 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 5 Dec 2014.
