An Extension Study Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of a Fast-Dissolving ("Melt") Formulation of Desmopressin for the Treatment of Nocturia in Adults
- Registration Number
- NCT00615836
- Lead Sponsor
- Ferring Pharmaceuticals
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to investigate the long term efficacy and safety of several doses of the Melt formulation of desmopressin in a broad population of adult patients with nocturia.
- Detailed Description
FE992026 CS31 was a multicenter open-label extension study for patients who were enrolled in Study FE992026 CS29 (NCT00477490) and had completed at least Visit 3E in Part II of that study.
The CS29 study was structured into 2 double-blind parts (Part I and Part II). In Part I, the initial 28-day treatment period, participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 5 treatment groups: placebo or desmopressin Melt 10 μg, 25 μg, 50 μg, or 100 μg. Immediately upon completion of Part I of the study, all participants on active treatment continued into Part II on the same treatment for approximately 1 to 6 months. Participants assigned to placebo in Part I were randomly assigned to 1 of the 4 active treatments in Part II, based on re-randomization predetermined at the initial randomization (to maintain the blind). Part II began at the final visit for Part I and continued until the database for Part I was locked. Therefore, treatment duration for Part II varied between 1 and 6 months, depending upon when the participant entered.
Upon completion of Part II of CS29, participants were given the option to participate in the open-label extension study (CS31). During CS31, each participant assigned to the 10 μg dose was switched to a higher dose in an open-label manner among the remaining 3 higher doses.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in Mean Number of Nocturnal Voids Baseline of Study CS29 and Weeks 8, 12, 20, 28, 52-56, 72-76, and 92-96. Participants completed a voiding diary for 3 consecutive 24-hour periods prior to the study visit in which they recorded each nocturnal urination (void). The mean number of voids per night was the average number of voids from the 3-day diary. Baseline refers to Baseline of Study CS29 and the number of weeks represents the total exposure to study drug.
Participants in the 10μg arm are included only until the time of dose escalation.Percentage of Participants With a Greater Than 33% Reduction in the Mean Number of Nocturnal Voids Baseline of Study CS29 and Weeks 8, 12, 20, 28, 52-56, 72-76, and 92-96. Percentage of participants with \>33% reduction from Baseline in the mean number of nocturnal urinations per night, calculated from the 3-day voiding diary completed prior to each study visit.
Participants in the 10μg arm are included only until the time of dose escalation.Change From Baseline in Initial Period of Undisturbed Sleep Baseline of Study CS29 and Weeks 8, 12, 20, 28, 52-56, 72-76, and 92-96. Participants completed a sleep diary on 3 consecutive mornings prior to each study visit, from which the initial period of undisturbed sleep was calculated and averaged for the 3 days. The Initial Period of Undisturbed Sleep is the time elapsed from bedtime to either first void or morning arising minus the minutes it took to fall asleep. Baseline refers to Baseline of Study CS29 and the number of weeks represents the total exposure to study drug.
Participants in the 10μg arm are included only until the time of dose escalation.
