About this study

Official title: A 4-week, Open-label, Multicenter, Urodynamic Pilot Study to Explore the Efficacy, Tolerability and Safety of Darifenacin (7.5 mg With Up-titration to 15 mg) in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis and Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity

The objective of this study is to explore the effects of darifenacin in patients with multiple sclerosis and neurogenic detrusor overactivity. The efficacy, safety and tolerability of darifenacin are already well established in idiopathic detrusor overactivity. Patients with multiple sclerosis and neurogenic detrusor overactivity without detrusor-sphincter-dyssynergia (DSD) will be allocated to darifenacin therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in volume at first detrusor contraction as determined by urodynamics

    Measured: At week 4

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Detrusor pressure at first contraction

    Measured: At week 4

  2. Volume at first detectable leakage

    Measured: At week 4

  3. Volume at 10/20/30/40 cm H2O

    Measured: At week 4

  4. Compliance

    Measured: At week 4

  5. Maximum cystometric bladder capacity

    Measured: At week 4

  6. 7-day micturition diary: Micturitions

    Measured: At days 0, 14, 28

  7. 7-day micturition diary: Urgency episodes

    Measured: At days 0, 14, 28

  8. 7-day micturition diary: Urge urinary incontinence episodes

    Measured: At days 0, 14, 28

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Darifenacin (BAY79-4998) in people with Multiple Sclerosis and Overactive Detrusor, run by Bayer at 15 sites in Germany.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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 2 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Germany. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: The enrollment rate at most centers was unlikely to result in the recruitment of the planned sample size of 40 evaluable subjects.). 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?

Change from baseline in volume at first detrusor contraction as determined by urodynamics (time frame: At week 4). 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 2 Dec 2014.
