About this study

Official title: A Combined Treatment Program for the Symptoms of Urinary Urgency and Frequency With Toviaz and Premarin Vaginal Cream

The use of vaginal estrogen cream in conjunction with Toviaz will be more effective than the use of Toviaz alone for the treatment of overactive bladder.

Read the detailed description

Participants will be randomized to two treatment arms with 45 patients enrolled in each study arm: Toviaz and Premarin Vaginal Cream and Toviaz and Placebo Premarin Vaginal Cream. The Toviaz will be dosed at 4mg tablet given as a once daily dose. Premarin vaginal cream will be dosed at 1 gram per vagina twice weekly. Compliance will be assessed at the 4-week mark and again at completion of the study, 8 weeks after the commencement of treatment.

The questionnaires chosen for this study have been designed and validated as effective tools to assess and evaluate OAB. Patients will be asked to complete three symptoms questionnaires and a 3-day voiding dairy. The questionnaires include Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q), The Patient Perception of Bladder Condition, and Urgency Severity and Impact Questionnaire. The voiding diary and questionnaires will be filled out and collected at the initial visit and again at the end of the study which is defined as 8 weeks after the commencement of treatment.

Additionally, patients will be asked to rate their symptoms associated with urogenital atrophy at the start of the study and then again at 8 weeks. The severity of each symptom will be graded based on a four-point scale (0=none, 1=mild, 2= moderate, 3=severe) and a composite score will then be generated. Examiners will also rate the severity of signs of urogenital atrophy at the first visit and at the conclusion of the study.

An objective evaluation of the effectiveness of the estrogen cream treatment will be accomplished by a pathological evaluation of the vaginal cell samples at the beginning of treatment and then again at the 8 week point. These cells will be collected and analyzed by an independent pathologist to determine the percentage of parabasal, intermediate, and superficial cells and to document the change in these three categories of cells as a result of the vaginal estrogen treatment. A 3-Day voiding diary will be used to document changes from baseline for urinary urgency, frequency, and incontinence episodes. Based on previous studies we predict there will be a 45% improvement on urinary frequency from baseline when using both Toviaz and vaginal Premarin cream. Secondary outcomes will be measured using the following validated questionnaires given at the start of the study and again at completion: OAB-q, Patient Perception of Bladder Condition, Urgency Severity and Impact Questionnaire.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Toviaz and Premarin in people with Overactive Bladder, run by The Cleveland Clinic 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 2 inclusion and 15 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 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. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Alexandriah Alas, MD (954-659-6342, alasa@ccf.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Urinary frequency as measured by a 3 day voiding diary (time frame: 1 year). 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 20 Apr 2017.
