Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety With Solifenacin Succinate to Improve Urinary Continence After Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (NCT NCT01371994)

NCT ID: NCT01371994

Last Updated: 2024-11-21

Results Overview

Urinary continence is defined as the first of three consecutive 24-hour days in which a participant uses no pads, or a pad for security which remains completely dry, during the 12-week treatment period. Participants recorded their daily pad usage in an electronic diary. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate the distribution of cumulative incidence of urinary continence over the 12-week study treatment period. Participants who did not experience the event during the 12-week treatment period were considered as censored at the End of Treatment (EOT) visit or Week 12, whichever occurs first.

Participant Flow

The study population consisted of male patients \> 18 years of age who were diagnosed with prostate cancer, treated by robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and had urinary incontinence for 1 week following removal of the indwelling catheter.

Participants meeting the Baseline criteria were randomized 1:1 to 5 mg solifenacin succinate or matching placebo.

Population: Full analysis set defined as all randomized participants who took at least one dose of study drug and had at least one efficacy endpoint evaluation.

Urinary continence is defined as the first of three consecutive 24-hour days in which a participant uses no pads, or a pad for security which remains completely dry, during the 12-week treatment period. Participants recorded their daily pad usage in an electronic diary. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate the distribution of cumulative incidence of urinary continence over the 12-week study treatment period.

Urinary continence is defined as three consecutive 24-hour days in which a participant uses no pads or a pad for security which remains completely dry. Participants recorded their daily pad usage in an electronic diary during the 12-week treatment period. End of treatment is the last on-treatment assessment during the treatment period.

Population: Full analysis set with available AUASS data at Baseline.

Quality of life was measured by the American Urology Association Symptom Score (AUASS). The AUASS includes 7 questions addressing symptoms of frequency, urgency, nocturia (waking during the night to urinate), hesitancy, weak urinary, incomplete emptying, and intermittence. The questionnaire asked participants to consider how these symptoms affected them over the past month on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 5 (almost always). The AUASS is a sum of the 7 symptom scores and ranges from 0 (best) to 35 (worst).

Population: Full analysis set with available ICIQ-SF QOL data at Baseline.

The ICIQ-SF is a validated self-administered questionnaire designed for patients with urinary incontinence. The ICIQ-SF assessed urinary incontinence using 3 scored questions which ask patients about their frequency of urine leakage, how much urine leakage, and perceived impact of leakage on daily lives over the past 4 weeks. The ICIQ-SF is a sum of the 3 scores and ranges from 0 (low bother) to 21 (maximum bother).

Timeframe: Baseline

Population: Full analysis set participants who were employed prior to the study and with available WPAI data at Baseline.

Work productivity was measured by the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI). WPAI asks participants about the effect of urinary leakage on their ability to perform their work-related functions and carry out daily activities over the past seven days. Percent work time missed is derived from the number of hours of work missed due to urinary leakage as a percentage of total hours that should have been worked. A higher percentage indicates more hours missed.
