- Ages 8 to 21 years
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Child, Adult
Study population: The study population will consist of children (ages 8-21) with Hemoglobin SS, SC, SB0thal or SB+thal and with Nocturnal Enuresis who are treated at the children's hospitals outpatient hematology clinic and/or the inpatient hematology unit.
Who may be able to join
- Patients with Hemoglobin SS, SC, SB0thal or SB+thal
- Patients with at least two episodes of primary nocturnal enuresis per week or four episodes over the two weeks prior to enrollment.
- Patients with secondary enuresis who have been evaluated and cleared by a pediatric urologist as not having other etiologies of enuresis (e.g. overactive detrusor activity, a genitourinary anatomic abnormality)
Who cannot join
- Patients with developmental delay or neurologic dysfunction secondary to stroke.
- Patients with hypertension or underlying renal disease.
- Patients with genitourinary anatomic abnormalities. Any prior renal ultrasound showing normal genitourinary anatomy is sufficient to clear a patient for the study.

About this study
Official title: Desmopressin as a Therapy for Nocturnal Enuresis in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
This study assesses if using the medication desmopressin will decrease nightime bedwetting in children with sickle cell disease.
Read the detailed description
Night time bedwetting is a common complication of sickle cell disease, and affects up to 30 % of children . Desmopressin is an oral medication that increases water reabsorption in the kidneys. Studies have shown that it is effective in decreasing bedwetting episodes in children without sickle cell disease. Chronic sickling episodes causing damage to the kidneys could cause permanent damage and may make this treatment ineffective in sickle cell disease. This trial will inform pediatric sickle cell doctors if desmopressin is an appropriate treatment for bed wetting in the investigators patients.
This work is being continued on study ID: 2020-11268.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
DesmopressinDrug
Also called DDAVP
Two desmopressin 0.2 mg tablets at bedtime for 14 days and monitoring if <50 % improvement
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Desmopressin | 0.2mg tablets, dose titrated to effect Receives: Drug: Desmopressin | |
| Placebo | Placebo Comparator |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Reduction in Bedwetting episodes
To prospectively assess if the use of desmopressin in patients with sickle cell disease and nocturnal enuresis will decrease the number of nighttime episodes of enuresis by 50% after initiating DDAVP at 0.4 mg nightly dose with dose escalation as clinically indicated compared to the control group.
Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks
Secondary outcomes (3)
Quality of life measure
To determine if patients with sickle cell disease and nocturnal enuresis receiving desmopressin will have an improved quality of life compared to the control group.
Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks
Reduction in Nighttime awakenings
To determine if the use of desmopressin in patients with nocturnal enuresis improves rates of nocturia, defined as episodes of nighttime awakening to void in children ≥5 years of age, compared to the control group.
Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks
Reduction in Daytime Fatigue
To determine if patients with sickle cell disease and nocturnal enuresis receiving desmopressin will have less daytime fatigue compared to the control group.
Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Nocturnal Enuresis and Anemia, Sickle Cell, run by Montefiore Medical Center 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 8 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 31 May 2022. 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.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: Low recruitment). 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?
Reduction in Bedwetting episodes (time frame: Baseline and 4 weeks). 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 NCT02636387, which also lists 10 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 31 May 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
