Fesoterodine for Amelioration of Autonomic Dysreflexia (AD) Following Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

September 5, 2019 updated by: Andrei Krassioukov, University of British Columbia

A Phase II, Open-Label Exploratory Study Investigating the Efficacy of Toviaz for Treatment of Adult Patients With Spinal Cord Injury With Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity for Amelioration of Autonomic Dysreflexia(PIIR-AK-TOVIAZ-AD)

This study will be investigating the effects of fesoterodine on autonomic dysreflexia (AD) in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI). The goal of the study is to examine the effect of increasing daily use of fesoterodine on episodes of high blood pressure triggered by urinary bladder contractions.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 2, open-label exploratory study investigating the efficacy of fesoterodine for treatment of adult patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) with autonomic dysreflexia (AD) triggered by neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 60 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

The inclusion criteria include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Male or female, 18 - 60 years of age

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
