Trial Outcomes & Findings for Desmopressin for Bedwetting in Children With SCD (NCT NCT04420585)

NCT ID: NCT04420585

Last Updated: 2024-05-07

Results Overview

Change in the percentage of nights with bedwetting episodes assessed at baseline based on participant recall over the previous 14 nights, as well as at \~1 month (30 nights) based on completion of a study (enuresis) diary. This is used to assess whether the use of desmopressin in patients with sickle cell disease and nocturnal enuresis will decrease the number of nighttime episodes of enuresis by 50% after initiating DDAVP at 0.4 mg nightly dose (with dose escalation as clinically appropriate). A negative value indicates a decrease in bedwetting episodes.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and ~1 month

Change in the percentage of nights with bedwetting episodes assessed at baseline based on participant recall over the previous 14 nights, as well as at \~1 month (30 nights) based on completion of a study (enuresis) diary. This is used to assess whether the use of desmopressin in patients with sickle cell disease and nocturnal enuresis will decrease the number of nighttime episodes of enuresis by 50% after initiating DDAVP at 0.4 mg nightly dose (with dose escalation as clinically appropriate). A negative value indicates a decrease in bedwetting episodes.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 4 weeks

Population: Data was not collected for the Impact of Bedwetting on day-to-day activities.

To determine if patients with sickle cell disease and nocturnal enuresis receiving desmopressin will have an improved quality of life compared to their baseline. This will be measured using the PedsQL Measurement Model which measures health related quality of life in children with acute and chronic health conditions, like sickle cell. The scales focuses on areas such as activities, feelings, and school performance.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and ~1 month

Change in the percentage of nights with awakenings over the previous 14 nights was assessed by summarizing and comparing baseline and 1 month nighttime awakening data. The percentage of nights with nighttime awakenings was evaluated at baseline based on recall and at 1 month (30 nights) based on completion of a study diary. This was used to determine whether the use of desmopressin in patients with sickle cell disease and nocturnal enuresis changes the rates of nighttime awakenings to urinate (nocturia), defined as episodes of nighttime awakening to void in children ≥5 years of age, compared to prior to initiating treatment with DDAVP. A positive value indicates an increase in nighttime awakenings

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and ~1 month

Population: 1 month fatigue data was not able to collected from one participant who did not complete the 1 month PROMIS Fatigue questionnaire. Accordingly, change results were not available.

Change in daytime fatigue will be assessed to determine if patients with sickle cell disease and nocturnal enuresis receiving desmopressin will have less daytime fatigue compared to their baseline data. The PROMIS Pediatric Fatigue Short Form (Version 2.0) will be used to compare levels of fatigue from baseline and \~1 month (30 nights) on the study medication. The PROMIS Fatigue scale, which utilizes a 7-day recall period, is a 10-item questionnaire consisting of 5 responses ranging from 1-5 with one indicative of "Never" and five indicative of "almost always" resulting in a raw scoring range of 10-50. Negative PROMIS change scores are associated with decreased levels of fatigue.
