About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Randomized, Multi-center, Placebo-Controlled Sequential Dose Titration Study to Assess Efficacy, Safety and Population Pharmacokinetics of Solifenacin Succinate Suspension in Pediatric Subjects From 5 to Less Than 18 Years of Age With Overactive Bladder (OAB)

Solifenacin succinate as a tablet formulation is already on the market for the treatment of symptoms of overactive bladder in adults. For the use in children and adolescent patients a new formulation of solifenacin has been developed.

This study investigated the effect and safety of solifenacin succinate liquid suspension compared to a non-active drug (placebo) over a 12-week period. The 2 weeks prior to the double blind period was a single-blind placebo run-in period in combination with behavioral urotherapy (Non-interventional diary assisted urotherapy consisting of overactive bladder (OAB) information, awareness, instruction, life-style advice and documentation of voiding habits and symptoms for OAB), followed by a 12 week daily treatment period. The study also investigated how well solifenacin succinate suspension is taken-up by the body and how long it stays in the body during this time.

What participants receive

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

  • Solifenacin Succinate SuspensionDrug

    Also called YM905

    Children aged 5 to 11 years and adolescents aged 12 to 17 years received solifenacin succinate liquid suspension once a day orally via syringe for 12 weeks along with non interventional diary assisted urotherapy consisting of overactive bladder (OAB) information, awareness, instruction, life-style advice and documentation of voiding habits and symptoms for OAB. The initial dose started with the equivalent of 5 mg in adults, referred to as pediatric equivalent dose (PED) of 5 mg (PED5), based on body weight for three weeks and was titrated up or down in up to three titration steps of three weeks each to reach the optimal dose. Titration up or down could lead to weight-based doses equivalent to doses in adults of 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg or 10 mg once daily and were referred to as PED2.5, PED5, PED7.5 and PED10. The minimum dose was PED2.5, and the maximum dose was PED10. The decision to titrate up or down was made by the investigator using information from the 7 day patient diary.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Children aged 5 to 11 years and adolescents aged 12 to 17 years received matching placebo liquid suspension once a day orally via syringe for 12 weeks along with non interventional diary assisted urotherapy consisting of overactive bladder (OAB) information, awareness, instruction, life-style advice and documentation of voiding habits and symptoms for OAB. The initial dose started with the equivalent of 5 mg in adults, referred to as pediatric equivalent dose (PED) of 5 mg (PED5), based on body weight for three weeks and was titrated up or down in up to three titration steps of three weeks each to reach the optimal dose. Titration up or down could lead to weight-based doses equivalent to doses in adults of 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg or 10 mg once daily and were referred to as PED2.5, PED5, PED7.5 and PED10. The minimum dose was PED2.5, and the maximum dose was PED10. The decision to titrate up or down was made by the investigator using information from the 7 day patient diary.

  • UrotherapyBehavioural

    Also called Bladder training

    Non interventional diary assisted urotherapy consisting of overactive bladder (OAB) information, awareness, instruction, life-style advice and documentation of voiding habits and symptoms for OAB.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment (EoT) in Mean Volume Voided (MVV) Per Micturition

    The mean voided volume was calculated from the participant diary data recorded during two measuring days (i.e., those days when the participant recorded the volume of each micturition) in the 7 days prior to the baseline and end of treatment visits. The MVV is equal to the mean of the non-zero volumes recorded over the 2 measuring days. A micturition is any voluntary urination, excluding episodes of incontinence.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Daytime Maximum Volume Voided (DMaxVV) Per Micturition

    The mean daytime maximum volume voided (DMaxVV) was determined using the participant diary data recorded during two measuring days (i.e., those days when the participant recorded the volume of each micturition) in the 7 days prior to the Baseline and end of treatment visits. The daytime maximum volume voided (DMaxVV) is the largest (non-zero) volume recorded over both of the 2 measuring days in the diary. The first morning void is excluded from the calculation. Daytime is defined as the time between waking up in the morning and going to bed later the same day. A micturition is any voluntary urination, excluding episodes of incontinence.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Incontinence Episodes Per 24 Hours

    An incontinence episode is defined as an episode with any involuntary loss of urine. The mean number of incontinence episodes was determined using the patient diary data recorded by the participant in the 7 days prior to baseline visit and end of treatment visit.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  3. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Daytime Incontinence Episodes Per 24 Hours

    The mean number of incontinence episodes was determined using the patient diary data recorded by the participant in the 7 days prior to baseline visit and end of treatment visit. An incontinence episode is defined as an episode with any involuntary loss of urine. Daytime is defined as the time between waking up in the morning and going to bed later the same day.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  4. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Nighttime Incontinence Episodes Per 24 Hours

    The mean number of incontinence episodes was determined using the patient diary data recorded by the participant in the 7 days prior to baseline visit and end of treatment visit. An incontinence episode is defined as an episode with any involuntary loss of urine. Nighttime is defined as the time between going to bed and waking up the following morning.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  5. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Dry (Incontinence-Free) Days Per 7 Days

    The mean number of dry days was determined using the patient diary data recorded by the participant in the 7 days prior to baseline visit and end of treatment visit. An incontinence episode is defined as an episode with any involuntary loss of urine.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  6. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Dry (Incontinence-Free) Nighttimes Per 7 Days

    The mean number of dry nights was determined using the patient diary data recorded by the participant in the 7 days prior to baseline visit and end of treatment visit. An incontinence episode is defined as an episode with any involuntary loss of urine.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  7. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Micturitions Per 24 Hours

    The mean number of micturitions was determined using the patient diary data recorded by the participant in the 7 days prior to baseline visit and end of treatment visit. A micturition is any voluntary urination, excluding episodes of incontinence.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  8. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Daytime Micturitions Per 24 Hours

    The mean number of micturitions was determined using the patient diary data recorded by the participant in the 7 days prior to baseline visit and end of treatment visit. A micturition is any voluntary urination, excluding episodes of incontinence. Daytime is defined as the time between waking up in the morning and going to bed later the same day.

  9. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Nighttime Micturitions Per 24 Hours

    The mean number of micturitions was determined using the patient diary data recorded by the participant in the 7 days prior to baseline visit and end of treatment visit. A micturition is any voluntary urination, excluding episodes of incontinence. Nighttime is defined as the time between going to bed and waking up the following morning.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  10. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Grade 3 or 4 Urgency Episodes Per 24 Hours in Adolescents

    Adolescent participants were asked to record the degree of urgency associated with each micturition and incontinence episode according to the Patient Perception of Intensity of Urgency Scale (PPIUS) scale (0 - no urgency, 1 - mild urgency, 2 - moderate urgency, 3 - severe urgency, 4 - urge incontinence). The mean number of grade 3 or 4 urgency episodes was determined using using diary data recorded by the participant in the 7 days prior to baseline visit and end of treatment visit.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12
