About this study

Official title: Prevention of Bladder Dysfunction in Acute Spinal Cord Injury. A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Explore the Effect of Early Treatment With Onabotulinumtoxin A on Development of Detrusor Overactivity

This study is a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial to explore the effect of early treatment with Onabotulinumtoxin A in patients with acute complete motor spinal cord injury (SCI) on the development of neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO). A total of 20 patients will be randomized to intra-detrusor injection of 300 U Onabotulinumtoxin A in 30 ml NaCl 0.9 % or placebo with 30 ml NaCl 0.9 %. Bladder biopsies will be obtained in the same procedure. The treatment will be repeated after three months. All included patients will be evaluated with urodynamic examinations. Follow-up is 12 months after the first treatment. The primary endpoint of the study is development of NDO.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of neurogenic detrusor overactivity during cystometry, defined as contractions with amplitudes above 40 cm H2O.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Urodynamic parameters

    Maximal detrusor pressure (cmH2O), maximal bladder capacity (ml), compliance (ΔcmH2O/Δml), and occurrence of DSD.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Quality of life (QOL) in the treated group compared to the placebo group 12 months after first treatment.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Occurrence of complications.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Onabotulinumtoxin A in people with Spinal Cord Injuries and Urinary Bladder, Overactive, run by Oslo University Hospital at 2 sites in Norway.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Norway. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Presence of neurogenic detrusor overactivity during cystometry, defined as contractions with amplitudes above 40 cm H2O. (time frame: 12 months). 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 23 Nov 2022.
