Study population: Patients will be identified from the Consultants routine clinics and the decision to treat a patient with Vesitirim™ will be made by the treating physician prior to enrolment into this non interventional study

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of non-neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) with bothersome storage disorder defined as urgency, and/or frequency and/or Urge Urinary Incontinence (UUI) at the discretion of the Investigator

About this study

Official title: An Irish Observational Study to Evaluate LUTS Storage Symptom Improvement in Men Being Treated With Vesitirim™ (Solifenacin)

This is an observational study which will look at the improvement in Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in Irish men being treated with Vesitirim™ (solifenacin).

Vesitirim™ is a competitive specific muscarinic receptor antagonist and has been used extensively for the treatment of OAB (Over Active Bladder) in women and has shown significant impact on urgency, frequency and incontinence in females. It is also indicated for the symptomatic treatment of urgency incontinence and/or increased urinary frequency and urgency in men. The purpose of this study is to evaluate LUTS storage symptom improvement in men with non neurogenic LUTS who have been prescribed Vesitirim™.

The effect of Vesitirim (solifenacin) treatment on bothersome symptoms improvement will be measured using Over Active Bladder-q Short Form (OAB-qSF) and the Perception of Treatment Satisfaction (TS-VAS). The study will also help define some of the characteristics of the male population in Ireland who are treated with Vesitirim™ (solifenacin) as well as evaluating the effect of Vesitirim™ monotherapy or combination therapy on storage symptoms improvement (urgency, frequency and urge incontinence) using a bladder diary and IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score). The study will also evaluate the effect of Vesitirim™ monotherapy or combination therapy on nocturia using IPSS. The impact of LUTS on quality of life will also be assessed. Data will also be collected regarding adverse drug reactions.

Read the detailed description

This is a post marketing, non-interventional study (NIS) of patients who are to be treated with Vesitirim™. The decision whether or not to treat with Vesitirim™ will be made by the treating physician prior to the entry of the patient into the study. The patient will be informed of the study and written consent will be obtained prior to screening and determination of eligibility.

No study drug will be supplied as part of this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline to visit 2 in Over Active Bladder questionnaire Short Form (OAB-q SF) score

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  2. Change from baseline to visit 2 in patient assessment of treatment satisfaction (TS-VAS)

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change from baseline to visit 2 in voiding function assessed by Qmax and PVR

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  2. Change from baseline to visit 2 in patient perception of voiding symptoms assessed by: IPSS scores and number of urge incontinence (UUI) episodes per week

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  3. Change from baseline to visit 2 in storage symptoms assessed by micturition diary; number of urgency episodes per 24 hours; number of micturition per 24 hours and number of nocturia episodes per 24 hours

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  4. Change from baseline to visit 2 in quality of life assessed by IPSS score

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

  5. Adverse drug reactions- incidence of acute urinary retention and urinary tract infection

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

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 to visit 2 in Over Active Bladder questionnaire Short Form (OAB-q SF) score (time frame: Baseline and 12 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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.
