About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Cross-over Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of SAF312 in Subjects With Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity Due to Spinal Cord Lesions Who Are Inadequately Managed by Antimuscarinic Therapy

This study will assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of SAF312 in patients with overactive bladder disease due to spinal cord lesions. The overactive bladder of patients who qualify for this study is insufficiently managed by antimuscarinic therapy, or patients poorly tolerate the treatment with antimuscarinic drugs. The efficacy of SAF312 will be primarily determined via urodynamic measurements.

Being tested
SAF312, Placebo to SAF312
Keywords
Neurogenic detrusor overactivity, spinal cord lesions, spinal cord injury

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum cystometric capacity (MCC)

    Examined during filling cystometry as measured by changes from baseline following treatment for one week.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety

    Safety (physical exam, vital signs, haematology, coagulation parameters, clinical chemistry and urinalysis, ECG, pregnancy test, hand immersion test and PK [concentrations of SAF312 in blood]).

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Bladder threshold vol, threshold pressure, instilled vol at first leak, detrusor pressure at first leak, vol/detrusor pressure at first sensation and at first desire to void, maximum detrusor pressure during filling/storage, bladder wall compliance

    All parameters examined during filling cystometry as measured by changes from baseline following treatment for one week

    Measured: 1 week

  3. Micturition or catheterization frequency

    Changes from baseline, as measured by daily diaries.

    Measured: 1 week

  4. Incontinence episodes

    Changes from baseline as measured by daily diaries.

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SAF312 in people with Neurogenic Urinary Bladder and Neurogenic Bladder Disorder, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 3 sites in 3 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 19 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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. 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?

Maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) (time frame: 1 week). 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 NCT01598103, which also lists 3 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 19 Dec 2020.
