About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Study to Evaluate Bladder Contractions in the Storage Phase (Non Voiding Activities) and Related Bladder Sensation in Healthy Females and Untreated Females With Overactive Bladder ("OAB") Using High Resolution and Conventional Urodynamics

This study aims to identify differences in bladder contractions during the storage phase (non voiding activities) between OAB subjects and healthy subjects, using high resolution urodynamics.

The study is divided into two parts:

  • PART 1: Consists of 5 females with overactive bladder
  • PART 2: Consists of 25 females with overactive bladder and 15 healthy females

Part 1 subjects will be enrolled followed by part 2 subjects. The data from part 1 subjects will be reviewed and analysed by a group of experts before starting the second part (part 2) of the study.

Read the detailed description

The subjects will complete a total of 2 visits and a follow up telephone call (or visit at the investigator's discretion).

Upon meeting eligibility criteria subjects will be screened and complete visit at hospital (Visit 1). They will then be asked to complete procedures such micturition diary, questionnaires and if applicable discontinued their ongoing OAB medication. Upon confirmation of eligibility criteria subjects will then be enrolled and complete visit 2 within 6 to 31 days post V1. At Visit 2 subjects will complete high resolution urodynamic assessment followed by the conventional urodynamic assessment. The visit will take approximately half a day. Safety follow up phone call (or visit at investigator's discretion) will take place 4 to 6 days post visit 2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identify objective parameters to characterize Non Voiding Activity (NVA) in healthy and OAB subjects using high resolution urodynamic assessment

    NVA is defined as changes of pressure in the bladder lumen. These changes are measured as detrusor pressure (Pdet) calculated from substraction of intra-abdominal pressure (Pabd) from intra-vesical pressure (Pves). All Pdet with an amplitude of at least 1cm of water, frequency below 0.2 Hz and pulse duration between 5 and 60 seconds qualify as NVA.

    Measured: During the High resolution urodynamics (Day 1)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Identify NVA in healthy and OAB subjects using conventional urodynamic assessment

    Measured: During High resolution and conventional urodynamic (Day 1) assessments

  2. Assess the subjects bladder sensations measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) and 5-points categorical scale (Appendix 8 & 7) during the high resolution urodynamic and conventional assessments

    Measured: During High resolution and conventional urodynamic assessments (Day 1)

  3. Assess the correlation between NVA and subjects bladder sensations

    Measured: During High resolution and conventional urodynamic assessments (Day 1)

  4. Explore NVA in a subgroup of subjects defined by the severity of OAB symptoms collected as background information (3-days bladder diary)

    Measured: During High resolution and conventional urodynamic assessments (Day 1)

  5. Illustrate the amount of NVA detected with high resolution urodynamic test methodology compared to NVA detected with conventional urodynamic assessments

    Measured: During High resolution and conventional urodynamic assessments (Day 1)

  6. Assess symptoms severity, bother and its impact on quality of life using: OAB-Q short form and Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) questionnaires and a 3-Day micturition bladder diary as background information to characterize the study population

    Measured: During High resolution and conventional urodynamic assessments (Day 1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing High resolution urodynamic assessment and Conventional urodynamic assessment in people with Healthy Subjects and Overactive Bladder, run by Astellas Pharma Europe Ltd. at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 26 inclusion and 0 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 15 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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: It was decided to discontinue the study due to insufficient recruitment). 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?

Identify objective parameters to characterize Non Voiding Activity (NVA) in healthy and OAB subjects using high resolution urodynamic assessment (time frame: During the High resolution urodynamics (Day 1)). 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 Oct 2014.
