About this study

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of botulinum toxin Type A for the treatment of urinary incontinence overactive bladder in patients with a spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis.

Read the detailed description

Botulinum toxin Type A 300U has been discontinued from the study after regulatory approval of botulinum toxin Type A 200U. Patients remaining in the study who were allocated to receive botulinum toxin Type A 300U at treatment 2 (and had not yet received it) will receive botulinum toxin Type A 200U instead.

Being tested
botulinum toxin Type A, Normal Saline (Placebo)
Medical subject headings
Urinary Bladder, Overactive

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    Also called BOTOX®, onabotulinumtoxinA

    Botulinum toxin Type A injection into the detrusor.

  • Normal Saline (Placebo)Drug

    Placebo (Normal Saline) injection into the detrusor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)

    Spirometry was conducted according to American Thoracic Society standards. A spirometer was used to measure FVC, the maximum amount of air exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible, at Baseline and Week 6. A positive change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6

  2. Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1)

    Spirometry was conducted according to American Thoracic Society standards. A spirometer was used to measure FEV1, the maximum amount of air exhaled in one second, at Baseline and Week 6. The highest value at each time-point was recorded. A positive change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6

  3. Change From Baseline in FEV1/FVC Ratio

    The FEV1/FVC ratio was calculated by dividing the FEV1 value by the FVC value representing the portion (or ratio) of FVC exhaled in one second. A positive change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change From Baseline in the Number of Urinary Incontinence Episodes

    The number of urinary incontinence episodes or leakage occurring over the previous 3 days was recorded in the patient bladder diary at Baseline and prior to Week 6. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement (less incontinence/leakage).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6

  2. Change From Baseline in the Maximum (Amplitude) Detrusor Pressure (MDP)

    MDP was measured at the first involuntary detrusor contraction using urodynamic testing. A catheter was inserted into the bladder at Baseline and Week 6 and the pressure [measured in centimeters water (cm H20)] was determined as the bladder filled. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement (less Detrusor pressure).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6

  3. Change From Baseline in Maximum Cystometric Capacity (MCC)

    MCC (the maximum amount of urine the bladder could hold) was measured using urodynamic testing. The amount of urine collected was subtracted from the total volume infused measured as milliliters (mL) of urine. A positive change from Baseline indicated improvement (fuller bladder/ less incontinence).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing botulinum toxin Type A in people with Overactive Bladder, run by Allergan at 4 sites in 4 countries.

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 3 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 24 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, Australia, Canada, India. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Jan 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) (time frame: Baseline, Week 6). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Jan 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
