What is being measured

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

  1. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient Between Change From Baseline to Month 1 in Number of Nocturnal Voids and Change From Baseline to Month 1 in Nocturia Impact (NI) Diary Total Score

    This outcome is a measure of sensitivity of the NI Diary to change in nocturia.

    The NI Diary is a 12-item instrument consisting of 11 core items and an overall impact question (Q12). Responses are scored from 0 (no impact) to 4 (highest impact); a lowering of score equals a decrease in impact caused by nocturia. The NI total score is the sum of the 11 core items scores. The NI total score was analyzable only if all 11 items (Q1-Q11) had non-missing responses. Otherwise, it was defined as missing. Missing values were not imputed. The average over the 3-day diary period prior to baseline (Day 1) and Month 1 was used for the overall impact score.

    The correlation was estimated using Fisher's z transformation, i.e. the NI total score was based on a standardized scale from 0 (lowest impact) to 100 (highest impact).

    Corresponding adjusted partial correlation coefficients were based on adjustments for mean number of Baseline voids, Baseline NI total score, age, and gender.

    Measured: Day 1 (Baseline), Month 1

  2. Difference in Mean Change From Baseline to Month 1 in Nocturia Impact (NI) Total Scores and Overall Impact Question for Responders and Non-Responders

    This outcome is a measure of sensitivity of the NI Diary to change in nocturia.

    The NI Diary is a 12-item instrument consisting of 11 core items and an overall impact question (Q12). The NI total score is defined as the sum of the 11 core items scores.

    The overall impact question (Q12) and the NI total score were transformed using Fisher's z transformation, i.e. the scores were based on a standardized scale from 0 (lowest impact) to 100 (highest impact).

    The difference in mean change in NI total score for subjects who experienced a reduction from baseline of <33% in nocturnal voids at the Month 1 visit (non-responders) versus those with a reduction in nocturnal voids from Baseline of ≥33% (responders) was estimated.

    Measured: Day 1 (Baseline), Month 1

  3. Cohen's D Effect Size in Responsiveness in the Nocturia Impact (NI) Total Scores and Overall Impact Question as Measured From Baseline (Day 1) to Month 1

    The responsiveness of the NI Diary was measured with Cohen's D effect size. The effect size was calculated for active treatment versus placebo, based on change from Baseline to Month 1. The effect size was evaluated as "small," "medium," or "large" if D was <=0.35, >0.35 - 0.65, or >0.65, respectively.

    Mean values are the Cohen's D effect size. Standard deviation is the pooled standard deviation.

    Measured: Day 1 (Baseline), Month 1

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Internal Consistency of the Nocturia Impact (NI) Total Score for Each Day NI Diaries Were Completed Assessed as Cronbach's Alpha Values

    Cronbach's alpha (CA) is a measure of the internal consistency of the Nocturia Impact (NI) Total scores. Higher scores indicate a more reliable (precise) instrument. A value of 0.70 set as the benchmark for declaring the scale as internally consistent.

    Cronbach's alpha was assessed for each of the three consecutive days NI diaries were completed during screening (Day -20 to Day -18), baseline (Day -2 to Day 1) and Month 1 (Day 28 to Day 30).

    Measured: Screening (Day -20 to Day -18), Baseline (Day -2 to Day 1) and Treatment (Day 28 to Day 30)

  2. Construct Validity For the Nocturia Impact (NI) Total Scores and Overall Impact Question (Q12) for Participants With High/Low Number of Nocturnal Voids

    The known group validity was assessed by comparing participants who experienced ≥3 nocturnal voids to those who experienced <3 nocturnal voids, using the average over 3 days for the Screening and Baseline diaries. Results are reported for the NI Total Scores and the Overall Impact Question (Q12).

    The NI Diary is a 12-item instrument consisting of 11 core items and an overall impact question (Q12). The NI total score is defined as the sum of the 11 core items scores.

    The overall impact question (Q12) and the NI total score were transformed using Fisher's z transformation, i.e. the scores were based on a standardized scale from 0 (lowest impact) to 100 (highest impact).

    Measured: Screening (Day -20), Baseline (Day 1)

  3. Change From Baseline to Month 1 on Nocturia Impact (NI) Total Score

    The NI Diary is a 12-item instrument consisting of 11 core items and an overall impact question (Q12). Responses are scored from 0 (no impact) to 4 (highest impact); the NI total score is the sum of the 11 core items scores (range of 0-44) which is then transformed to a 0-100 scale (high score indicates high impact). The NI total score was analyzable only if all 11 items (Q1-Q11) had non-missing responses. Otherwise, it was defined as missing. Missing values were not imputed. The average over the 3-day diary period prior to baseline (Day 1) and Month 1 was used for the overall impact score. Negative change from baseline scores indicate a decrease in impact caused by nocturia.

    Measured: Baseline (Day -2 to Day 1), Treatment (Day 28-30)

  4. Minimum Post-Treatment Serum Sodium Levels

    Serum sodium levels were monitored since hyponatremia is a potential serious adverse event associated with daily doses of desmopressin. A participant was to be withdrawn from the trial if the serum sodium level was <=125 mmol/L at any time.

    Measured: Day 1 up to 1 month

  5. Summary of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    A TEAE was any adverse event occurring after start of treatment and within the time of residual drug effect, i.e. within one day of the last dose of desmopressin.

    Measured: Day 1 up to 1 month

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 5 May 2017). 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?

The Pearson Correlation Coefficient Between Change From Baseline to Month 1 in Number of Nocturnal Voids and Change From Baseline to Month 1 in Nocturia Impact (NI) Diary Total Score (time frame: Day 1 (Baseline), Month 1). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01552343, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
