Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tamsulosin in Children With Neurogenic Bladder (NCT NCT00796614)

NCT ID: NCT00796614

Last Updated: 2015-10-29

Results Overview

The primary endpoint was response to treatment defined as patients who decreased their detrusor leak point pressure (LPP) based upon two evaluations on the same day to less than 40 cm H2O at Week 14 (end of treatment). Detrusor leak point pressure (LPP) recorded in cm H2O was obtained using a standard urodynamic technique, a cystometrogram. On treatment (OT): Consist of all on treatment data. Observations measured ≤3 days of stopping treatment was considered as on treatment. Missing data in these analyses was not replaced or imputed.

Participant Flow

The trial included children from 2-16 years of age, with elevated detrusor leak point pressure associated with a known neurologic defect (e.g., spina bifida). The three age strata were 2-\<5 years, 5-\<10 years and 10-16 years of age. In this study, 231 subjects were enrolled, 162 subjects were randomised and 161 subjects were treated.

Measure
Placebo
Subjects were orally administered to matching placebo to tamsulosin hydrochloride, with once daily by sprinkling the content of 2 capsules over a single teaspoonful (5 mL) of apple sauce or yogurt, taken 30 minutes after meal / snack (breakfast). A teaspoonful of water was taken after ingesting the applesauce or yogurt.
Tamsulosin - Low Dose Level
Subjects were orally administered to low dose level (0.001 - 0.002 mg/kg) of tamsulosin hydrochloride, once daily dependent on a patient's body weight (12.5 kg -100.0 kg), by sprinkling the content of 2 capsules over a single teaspoonful (5 mL) of applesauce or yogurt, taken 30 minutes after meal / snack (breakfast). A teaspoonful of water was taken after ingesting the applesauce or yogurt.
Tamsulosin - Medium Dose Level
Subjects were orally administered to medium dose level (0.002 - 0.004 mg/kg) of tamsulosin hydrochloride, once daily dependent on a patient's body weight (12.5 kg -100.0 kg), by sprinkling the content of 2 capsules over a single teaspoonful (5 mL) of applesauce or yogurt, taken 30 minutes after meal / snack (breakfast). A teaspoonful of water was taken after ingesting the applesauce or yogurt.
Tamsulosin - High Dose Level
Subjects were orally administered to high dose level (0.004 - 0.008 mg/kg) of tamsulosin hydrochloride, once daily dependent on a patient's body weight (12.5 kg -100.0 kg), by sprinkling the content of 2 capsules over a single teaspoonful (5 mL) of applesauce or yogurt, taken 30 minutes after meal / snack (breakfast). A teaspoonful of water was taken after ingesting the applesauce or yogurt.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From first drug administration until 28 days after last study drug administration, upto 160 days

Population: Treated Set (TS). All subjects began treatment with their low dose and then they were titrated to their randomised medium or high dose. Therefore some of the subjects were counted more than once for having reported adverse events with different doses of the study.

Number of participants with Clinically Relevant Abnormalities for Physical Examination, Vital Signs/Orthostatic testing (blood pressure, pulse and respiratory rate), Electrocardiogram (ECG), Laboratory Values inclusive of hormonal assays, vision testing, Cognitive Testing, Occurrence of treatment emergent adverse events, Premature discontinuation of study drug due to AE and Urinalysis. Relevant findings or worsening of baseline conditions were reported as adverse events.
