What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of LPP Responders for Group D-Denovo and Group D-527.51 Rollover

    Group D-Denovo: Leak point pressure (LPP) Response at(response defined as a subject who achieves an LPP pressure <40 cm H2O) at the end of treatment based on two confirmatory values. Group D-527.51 Rollover: Leak point pressure (LPP) Response at (response defined as a subject who achieves an LPP pressure <40 cm H2O) last value of the treatment based on two confirmatory values. The last value on treatment included any final value prior to discontinuation of treatment, regardless of the length of treatment. Detrusor leak point pressure (LPP) recorded in cm H2O which was obtained using a standard urodynamic technique, a cystometrogram. Descriptive statistics were used to assess this endpoint. This Outcome Measure was only pre-specified for Group D-Denovo and Group D-527.51 Rollover subjects, so results of these two groups are provided.

    Measured: Group D-Denovo: Week 52. Group D-527.51 Rollover: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3 and Week 4 prior to dose administration and Week9 (optional), Week 13 (additional), Week 26 (optional) and Week 52 after drug administration.

  2. Number of LPP Responders at Each Visit Over Time (Classified by Last Value on Treatment) for Group D-527.51 Rollover.

    Number of Leak point pressure (LPP) Responders at each visit (week) over time (classified by last value on treatment). Due to the early termination of the study, most of the LPP assessments were conducted within Weeks 1-9 of treatment. Summary of LPP response rates provided over time.The subjects are classified according to the treatment they were receiving at the last value on treatment. Therefore, no assumptions can be made regarding what dose they were receiving at a particular time point. LD: Low Dose, MD: Medium Dose and HD: High Dose This Outcome Measure was only pre-specified for Group D-527.51 Rollover subjects, so results of this group is provided.

    Measured: Week 1 (Visit 3) , Week 2 (Visit 4) , Week 3 (Visit 5) and Week 4 (Visit 6) prior to dose administration and Week 9 (Visit 7) (optional), Week 13 (Visit 8) (additional), Week 26 (Visit 9) (optional) and Week 52 (Visit 11) after drug administration.

Medium dose: Week 1, 2 \& 4 prior to dose and Week 3, 9(optional), 13(additional), 26 (optional) \& 52 post dose. High dose: Week 1, 2 \& 3 prior to dose administration and Week 4, 9(optional), 13(additional), 26 (optional) \& 52 post dose.

The results from Week 1 were reported because there were very few subjects who reported data at subsequent visits due to the termination of the trial. This Outcome Measure was only pre-specified for Group D-527.51 Rollover subjects, so results of this group is provided.

    Measured: Baseline and week 1

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in LPP for Group D-527.51 Rollover

Baseline assessments were obtained from trial 527.51 for Group D-527.51 Rollover. The overall treatment duration was not sufficient to reach any meaningful conclusions regarding improvement or stabilization of hydronephrosis in the Group D-527.51 Rollover. Hydronephrosis response is defined as an improvement or stabilization based upon ultrasound grading at the end of the study. The lower or same grade at end of treatment compared to baseline is considered an improvement or stabilization.
