Study summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of an anticholinergic drug treatment administered by transdermal patch to treat overactive bladder in adults who have spinal cord injury.

Read the detailed description

The Dose Titration Period began with a 3.9 mg/day or 7.8 mg/day as a starting dose after the completion of a 3-day diary for baseline evaluations, including urodynamic testing. The clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) frequency remained constant throughout the Dose Titration Period. The dose was adjusted every two weeks during the Dose Titration Period by increasing one dose level, at the investigator's discretion, based on the patient's symptoms. If a patient achieved complete continence and reported tolerable or absence of side effects, the patient was continued at that dose for the duration of the 8-week Titration Period. If a patient reported unacceptable side effects, the dose was reduced by one level. This reduced dose was considered the maximum tolerable dose for the patient and the patient continued at that dose for the duration of the 8-week Titration Period. The dose levels evaluated were 3.9 mg/day, 7.8 mg/day, 9.1 mg/day, and 11.7 mg/day. Of the 22 subjects in the modified intent-to-treat population evaluated for efficacy, 0 were in the 3.9 mg/day dose group, 3 were in the 7.8 mg/day dose group, 8 were in the 9.1 mg/day dose group, and 11 were in the 11.7 mg/day dose group.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • At least 18 years of age at day of consent;
  • Is a male, or is a non-pregnant non-lactating female who is either of non-, or is using adequate means of ;
  • Has a h/o of urinary incontinence from neurogenic bladder of spinal cord injury etiology;
  • Has impairment based on the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA);
  • Use clean intermittent catheterization;
  • Has urinary incontinence between scheduled catheterization;
  • Capable of understanding and complying with the protocol.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have one or more treatable conditions, other than neurogenic bladder dysfunction, that may cause urinary incontinence or urgency;
  • Have any medical condition that precludes their participation in the study, or may confound the outcome of the study;
  • History of major lower urinary tract surgery, procedures;
  • Has an active skin disorder, affecting TDS application site areas;
  • to the drug;
  • Has participated in any study involving administration of an investigational compound within 30 days before this study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
