Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of mirabegron compared to oxybutynin chloride immediate release (oxybutynin IR) for a condition called neurogenic detrusor overactivity in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).


Description:

Neurogenic detrusor overactivity or "NDO" is common in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and is a medical condition characterized by involuntary urinary bladder contractions. These bladder contractions can cause episodes of urinary incontinence (involuntary urine leakage) and/or high bladder pressures that can lead to poor drainage from the kidneys and urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Neurogenic detrusor overactivity is most commonly treated with a medication called oxybutynin (Ditropan); however, this medication is associated with side effects such as dry mouth and constipation. Mirabegron (Myrbetriq) is a newer medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of overactive bladder that does not cause dry mouth or constipation; however, its use in persons with SCI is investigational.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of mirabegron compared to oxybutynin chloride immediate release (oxybutynin IR) for neurogenic detrusor overactivity in individuals with SCI.

- The subject has received a botulinum toxin injection to the bladder within one year of the Screening Visit.

- The subject is allergic to mirabegron.

- The subject has a history of uncontrolled autonomic dysreflexia or significant autonomic dysreflexia on urodynamics (systolic BP=150 mm/Hg).

- The subject has a known history of significant anatomical problems of the upper tracts, including hydronephrosis, kidney stones, or ureteropelvic junction obstruction.

- The subject has a known history or treatment for a non-neurogenic bladder or prostate problem (prostate cancer, bladder cancer).

- The subject has recurrent UTIs, defined as a UTI more than every three months.

- The subject has untreated Grade 3 or above vesicoureteral reflux.

- If female, the subject is pregnant (documented by a urine pregnancy test) or breastfeeding.

- The subject has taken another investigational drug within 30 days before screening.

- The subject has a medical condition that might pose a safety issue or would interfere with interpretation of study results or study conduct.

Study Design


Intervention

Drug:
Oxybutynin Chloride IR
Oxybutynin chloride immediate release (IR) 5 mg three times daily for 6 weeks
Mirabegron
Mirabegron 25 mg tablet once daily for 2 weeks, followed by mirabegron 50 mg once daily for 4 weeks (Note: Placebo twice daily will be included with mirabegron once daily to match the three-time daily dosing of oxybutynin IR in the other intervention).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Adverse Event Case Report Form Adverse experience(s) will be recorded on the Adverse Event Case Report Form, including the date and time of onset, severity, the relationship to study intervention, the date of resolution, the action taken, and the outcome of the adverse experience. The responsible physician will make a causality assessment for every adverse experience. Every two weeks for 12 weeks
Other Side Effects Record Participants will be provided a list of side-effects associated with oxybutynin and mirabegron treatment. Three lines marked "other" for open-choice responses will accompany the selection of options for forced-choice side-effects. Participants will rate the severity (visual analog scale (VAS); 0-100) and frequency ("never", "occasionally", "sometimes", "often" or "always") of side effects for each of the forced and open choice answers. Severity and frequency of side-effects will be rated by participants every 2 weeks during the intervention part of the study. Every two weeks for 12 weeks
Primary Change in cystometric bladder capacity during filing cystometry The cystometric bladder capacity is the bladder volume (ml) at the end of the filling cystometrogram, when 'permission to void' is usually given. Week 6 and Week 12
Secondary Change in detrusor leak point pressure The detrusor leak point pressure (cm H2O) is defined as the lowest detrusor pressure at which urine leakage occurs in the absence of either a detrusor contraction or increased abdominal pressure. Week 6 and Week 12
Secondary Change in maximum detrusor pressure Maximum detrusor pressure (ml/cm H2O) as the name implies, is the maximum detrusor pressure during filling cystometry. Week 6 and Week 12
Secondary Change in bladder compliance during filling cystometry Bladder compliance during filling cystometry (ml/cm H2O) is the relationship between change in bladder volume and change in detrusor pressure and is calculated by dividing the volume change (?V) by the change in detrusor pressure (??det) during that change in bladder volume (C= ?V/??det). Week 6 and Week 12
Secondary Change in post-void residual volume The post-void residual volume (ml) is defined as the volume of urine left in the bladder at the end of micturition1 and is recommended as a core urodynamic outcome measure in SCI. Week 6 and Week 12
Secondary Change on International Lower Urinary Tract Function Basic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Data Set The purpose of the Lower Urinary Tract Function Basic Data Set for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) individuals is to standardize the collection and reporting of information on the lower urinary tract and to make it possible to evaluate and compare results from various published studies. Week 6 and Week 12
Secondary Change on Bowel Function Measures - International SCI Bowel Function Basic & Extended Data Sets The International Bowel Function Basic and Extended SCI Data Sets present a standardized format for the collection and reporting of an extended amount of information on bowel function in persons with SCI. Week 6 and Week 12
Secondary Change in California Verbal Learning Test - II (CVLT) scores Memory will be assessed by the California Verbal Learning Test - II (CVLT). It consists of a list of 16 words from 4 semantic categories presented orally over 5 trials and includes a 20 minute delayed recall trial as well as a recognition trial. Week 6 and Week 12
Secondary Change in Symbol Digit Modalities Test oral version (SDMT) scores Processing speed will be assessed by the Symbol Digit Modalities Test oral version. Week 6 and Week 12
Secondary Wechsler Test of Adult Reading (WTAR) score The Wechsler Test of Adult Reading will be administered to provide an estimate of verbal intelligence for later use as a covariate in the analyses of the cognitive outcomes. The WTAR is composed of 50 irregularly spelled words and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Screening Visit
Secondary Change in Qualiveen scores The Qualiveen was developed as a condition-specific QOL measure for individuals with SCI. It consists of 30 items focusing on four aspects of individuals' lives related to their urinary problems: bother with limitations, frequency of limitations, fears, and feelings. Week 6 and Week 12
Secondary Change in SCI-QOL Bowel & Bladder Management Difficulties scores The SCI-QOL Bladder Management Difficulties and SCI-QOL Bowel Management Difficulties were developed as QOL measure for individuals with SCI and are part of the SCI-QOL measurement system. Week 6 and Week 12
Secondary Change in Subject Global Impression (SGI) of Change score The SGI of change is a subject-rated instrument that measures change in the subject's overall status on a 7-point scale. Week 6 and Week 12
Secondary Change in Clinician Global Impression (CGI) of Change score The study physician will rate on a 7-point scale the subject's overall clinical condition following treatment as compared to that at baseline. Week 6 and Week 12
