About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Solifenacin (VESIcare) for Improving Urinary and Bladder Functions in Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy of the Prostate

The purpose of this study is to determine if Vesicare (Solifenacin succinate) is effective in treating over-active bladder symptoms during radiation therapy of the prostate.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized double blind placebo controlled flexible dose 12 week study. Following screening, subjects will receive their first dose of study medication following completion of AUASS questionnaire on the first day of radiation treatment (baseline) and will continue for twelve weeks. Subjects will be started on 5 mg of study medication. The AUASS will be completed at baseline, weeks 4, 8 and 12. A 16 week visit conducted over a phone interview.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline to End of Study Measured by the American Urology Association Symptom Score Questionnaire (AUASS).

    The AUASS score range is 1-7 (mild), 8-19 (moderate) and 20-35 (severe). The AUASS asks 7 questions scored 0-5, the scores are summed for the total score.

    Measured: baseline and 16 weeks

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jan 2015). 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?

Change From Baseline to End of Study Measured by the American Urology Association Symptom Score Questionnaire (AUASS). (time frame: baseline and 16 weeks). 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 NCT01777217, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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.
