About this study

Official title: A Comparative Study of Coadministered Doses of Ibuprofen and Pseudoephedrine HCl and Each Drug Alone in the Treatment of Primary Nocturnal Enuresis in Children

The purpose of the study is to determine if ibuprofen in combination with pseudoephedrine HCl in the treatment of nightime bedwetting in children is more effective than each drug alone and if the individual drugs are more effective than placebo.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel-group study is to determine whether the effectiveness of ibuprofen in combination with pseudoephedrine HCl is greater than the individual drugs alone and greater than placebo for the treatment of nighttime bedwetting in children. After a screening visit, parents of eligible patients are to record in a diary, the number of urinations and wet and dry nights. Patients then return and those who continue to be eligible are randomized to study medication, which they will take for two weeks. Patients are randomized into four treatment groups, and the dose of treatment medication is determined based on body weight. The four treatment groups are: 12.5 mg of ibuprofen suspension/kg of body weight (200-450 mg of ibuprofen) plus 15 mg or 30 mg of pseudoephedrine HCl, 12.5 mg of ibuprofen suspension / kg of body weight (200 - 450 mg of ibuprofen) plus placebo suspension, or two doses of placebo suspension. The primary efficacy measurement is the mean reduction in wet nights, for the 14-day baseline period to the 14-day treatment period. Safety assessments consist of monitoring adverse events, physical examination and assessment of vital signs. The study hypothesis is that ibuprofen in combination with pseudoephedrine HCl has a greater effect in the treatment of nighttime bedwetting than either ibuprofen or pseudoephedrine HCl alone, and the combination is well tolerated. Treatment medication are an oral suspension, expressed as mg/kg body weight. Patients will receive 1 of 4 treatments for 2 weeks: ibuprofen (12.5 mg/kg of body weight) plus 15 or 30 mg of pseudoephedrine, ibuprofen (12.5 mg/kg of body weight) + placebo, 15 or 30 mg of pseudoephedrine, or placebo

A Phase 2 study testing ibuprofen; pseudoephedrine HCl in people with Enuresis, run by Johnson & Johnson Consumer and Personal Products Worldwide.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 29 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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 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?

The mean reduction in wet nights from the 14-day baseline period to the 14-day treatment period.. 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 NCT00240812, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Jun 2011.
