About this study

Official title: Role of Urinary Neurotrophin and Cytokine Levels in Diagnosis and Management of Overactive Bladder in Children

It is a single-center, prospective, interventional, single-arm study. Aim is to investigate which variables are significantly correlated with prolonged anticholinergic treatment (>6 months) in children with overactive bladder (OAB). Investigated variables will include urinary neurotrophins and inflammatory cytokines, sonographic biomarkers, symptom score scale, demographics, and urodynamic findings. Secondary aim is to analyze sensitivity and specificity of urinary biomarkers in diagnosis and management of OAB compared to urodynamics and treatment outcome.

What participants receive

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

  • OxybutyninDrug

    Also called Driptane

    Anticholinergic

Study groups in NCT02704013
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
InterventionOtherPatients with overactive bladder will receive anticholinergic therapy: oral oxybutynin in daily dose 0.2-0.5 mg/kg divided in two daily doses for 3 to 6 months depending on treatment outcome assessed 3 months after start of intervention.
Receives: Drug: Oxybutynin

What is being measured

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

  1. Initial success

    Nonresponse is defined as a 0% to 49% decrease, partial response is defined as a 50% to 89% decrease, response is defined as a 90% or greater decrease and full response is defined as a 100% decrease or less than 1 symptom occurrence monthly. Symptoms include urgency, daily incontinence, increased daytime frequency, enuresis, nocturia. Symptom frequency will be assessed using validated diary.

    Measured: 6 months after start of intervention

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Long-term success

    Relapse is defined as more than 1 symptom recurrence monthly, continued success is de-fined as no relapse in 6 months after the interruption of treatment.

    Measured: 6 months after stop of intervention

  2. Bladder wall thickness

    Bladder wall thickness will be measured using ultrasonography.

    Measured: 6 months after start of intervention

  3. Improvement in health-related quality of life measured by PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core questionnaire

    Improvement is defined by increase in total and subscale scores by more than defined minimally clinical important difference for PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core questionnaire.

    Measured: 6 months after start of intervention

  4. Urinary neurotrophins

    Urine samples will be collected at urge sensation before and 6 months after start of intervention. Urinary nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels normalized to urinary creatinine will be measured.

    Measured: 6 months after start of intervention

  5. Urinary cytokines

    Urine samples will be collected at urge sensation before and 6 months after start of intervention. Urinary inflammatory cytokines (MCP-1, MCP-2, MCP-3, CaCL-13) levels normalized to urinary creatinine will be measured.

    Measured: 6 months after start of intervention

  6. Urodynamics

    Urodynamic study will be investigated prior and 6 months after start of intervention. Maximum detrusor pressure will be assessed.

    Measured: 6 months after start of intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxybutynin in people with Overactive Bladder, run by Children's Hospital Zagreb at 1 site in Croatia.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Croatia. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Slaven Abdovic, MD, PhD (+385911144333, sabdovic@gmail.hr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Initial success (time frame: 6 months after start of intervention). 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 10 Mar 2016.
