About this study

Official title: The Use of Toxin Botulinum A Toxin in Patients With Parkinson's Disease and Multiple System Disease, Affected by Refractory Detrusor Overactivity.

The researchers investigated the effectiveness and safety of BoNT/A injected into the detrusor muscle in patients with PD and MSA all of whom had detrusor muscle overactivity unresponsive to conventional medical therapy.

Read the detailed description

Patients included will have overactive bladder symptoms refractory to medical therapy. Other causes of overactive bladder symptoms including urogenital prolapse and recurrent urinary tract infections were excluded. None of the patients will be under anticoagulant therapy or drugs interfering with neuromuscular transmission. The study was approved by the local ethical committee and patients gave their informed consent. Patients will be informed about the possible need for intermittent catheterization after BoNT/A treatment.

As outcome measures we assessed clinical and urodynamic variables.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intravesical injection of Botulinum A toxin in people with Parkinson's Disease and Multiple System Atrophy, run by University Of Perugia.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 2009. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

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?

As primary outcome measures, patients attended for clinical evaluation (daily voiding diary an QoL questionnaire). (time frame: One, three and five months after intravesical treatment). 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 15 Jan 2009.
