Demonstrate the safety and tolerability of desmopressin ODT during long-term treatment of subjects with nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria, for up to 1 year
This study to obtain pilot data on Nocturnal Hypertension and Nocturia. In Dr. Victor's current NIH grant (Cut Your Pressure Too: The LA Barbershop Blood Pressure Study) the results show that uncontrolled systolic hypertension is independent determinantal of nocturia in African American men. We now went to pursue this correlation by designing a new NIH grant Proposal to determine whether replacing short acting with long acting drugs and dosing them at bed time rather than in the morning will: A. Lower the systolic Blood pressure during sleep B. Improve Nocturia and results in better sleep quality. The results suggest that short acting hydrochlorothiazide may contribute to nocturia in some patients.
For ageing men, Health related quality of life ( HRQoL) is challenged by two common issues: the onset of bothersome urinary symptoms attributable to prostate enlargement and diminishing ability to maintain normal sexual activity and function; both issues are important to men, yet often the treatment of the former has adverse effects on the latter. Current medical and surgical treatments offer symptomatic improvement of urinary symptoms. However long recovery times, degradation of sexual function and incontinence may negatively affect a patient's QoL. Prostatic urethral lift (PUL) and prostate artery embolization (PAE) represent two evolving techniques with contrasting mechanisms of action (mechanical decompression vs angiographic embolization). Both are minimally invasive, yield relief of urinary symptoms and have similar safety profiles. More importantly neither causes degradation of sexual function or urinary continence. Although multiple studies are being reported on PUL and PAE alike, currently there are no prospective clinical trials comparing these two technologies. We aim to prospectively evaluate and compare HRQol outcomes of PUL and PAE. Results of this study could have a great impact on patient outcomes in men opting for minimally invasive, sexual function sparing treatment options for symptom relief from prostate enlargement.
Benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) and inflammation are common non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, which result in urinary interference and incomplete drainage of the bladder. Compression of the urethra is common cause of such resistance of full draining, and may over time result in progressive hypertrophy, instability, urgency, nocturia and weakness of the bladder musculature. Prostatic growth frequently begins in the 30s, and it is estimated that 50% of all males have benign enlargement leading to 75% by age 80. BPH and low grade inflammation is one of the ten most prominent and costly disorders in males over 50. Urinary tract symptoms are divided into issues of storage, voiding, and post-void symptoms can be associated with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). This study utilizes isolation of adipose-derived stem/stromal cellular stromal vascular fraction (AD-cSVF) deployed as an IV suspension in sterile Normal Saline (500cc). Due to the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects common to AD-cSVF are tested in relief of the inflammatory elements and the concurrent hypertrophy in BPH. Early pilot use has suggested a positive effect on these issues, and have relieved much of the incomplete voiding, pain, nocturia, delay in starting/stopping urination, and increased urgency and frequency. Lipoharvesting of Adipose-Derived tissue stromal vascular fraction (AD-tSVF) is now a common closed access to subdermal adipose stromal/stem cell population consisting of both stem and stromal cells, each of which are felt to contribute a wide variety of effects and potentials. Closed, sterile isolation of the AD-cSVF is possible with advent of closed systems to enzymatically release these cells from the actual matrix (scaffolding) within the adipose tissue complex (ATC). This group of largely un-designated cell population is isolated and concentrated via a standard gradient layer separation by centrifugation. This cellular isolate is then suspended in an IV of 500 cc Normal Saline and reintroduced to the patient. This study is examining the clinical safety and efficacy of this approach, as well as tracking the duration of effects and establish a therapeutic interval.
The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate efficacy of desmopressin ODT against placebo for the treatment of female subjects with nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria, during 12 weeks of treatment.

The primary objectives of the study are: - To determine the absolute bioavailability of SK-1404 - To assess the mass balance recovery after a single oral (PO) dose of carbon-14 (14C)-SK-1404 - To provide plasma, urine and faecal samples for metabolite profiling and structural identification The secondary objectives of the study are: - To determine the routes and rates of elimination of [14C]-SK-1404 - To identify the chemical structure of each metabolite with an exposure (AUC) of more than 10% of circulating total radioactivity - To explore the intravenous (IV) pharmacokinetics (PK) of [14C]-SK-1404 - To further explore the PO PK of SK-1404 - To provide additional safety and tolerability information for SK-1404
This purpose of this study is to understand the types of bacteria that are in the bladder and vagina in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms and understand if the types of bacteria change when with the use of estrogen in the vagina. The investigators are also trying to understand how estrogen influences the body's ability to make substances called peptides that can kill bacteria.
This is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with two weeks of daily oral administration of one of three dose levels of Paxerol or placebo in subjects with nocturia. Eligible study subjects will be identified according to inclusion/exclusion criteria (see below), and baseline assessments will be recorded. Due to small sample size of 25 patients per group in this proof-of-principle dosing-finding trial, stratification according to gender and BMI will be difficult. However, similar distribution of patient types to the four treatment groups will be attempted by evenly assigning patients to the four treatment groups according to genders and body mass index (BMI) of <25, 25-30 and 30-40. Paxerol or placebo will be taken 30 minutes before bedtime daily for two weeks. Nocturia frequency, Nocturia Quality of Life (NQOL), Duration of First Undisturbed Sleep (DFUS), total hours of nightly sleep, safety and tolerability will be monitored before and after a two-week treatment period. Results from subjects treated with different doses of Paxerol and placebo will be assessed and compared. Baseline urinary Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production will also be assayed to assess potential correlation between baseline urinary PGE2 production and responsiveness to Paxerol treatment.
