A Study of ASP8302 in Participants With Underactive Bladder
- Registration Number
- NCT03702777
- Lead Sponsor
- Astellas Pharma Europe B.V.
- Brief Summary
The study objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy of ASP8302 compared with placebo in participants with underactive bladder (UAB), to investigate the safety and tolerability of ASP8302 compared with placebo in participants with UAB, to investigate the pharmacokinetics of ASP8302 in participants with UAB and to support the development of the UAB - Patient Reported Outcome (PRO).
- Detailed Description
The study will comprise a screening visit, followed by a treatment period and a 2-week follow-up period, in total 8 weeks. Participants will visit the clinic at screening (visit 1) and every 2 weeks (visit 2, 3, 4, and 5). During the course of the study assessments will be performed at the visits.

A sexually active male subject with female partner(s) of childbearing potential is eligible if he agrees to use a male condom starting at screening and continue throughout study treatment and for 90 days after the final study drug administration. If the male subject has not had a vasectomy or is not sterile, his female partner(s) is utilizing 1 form of highly effective birth control starting at screening and will continue throughout study treatment and for 90 days after the male subject receives the final study drug administration.

Study & Design
- Study Type
- INTERVENTIONAL
- Study Design
- PARALLEL
- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description ASP8302 100mg ASP8302 Participants will receive ASP8302 100mg capsules orally once daily for up to 4 weeks. Placebo Placebo Participants will receive ASP8302 matching placebo orally once daily for up to 4 weeks.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in PVR After Standardized Bladder Filling Measured by Catheterization (PVRc2) at Week 4 Baseline and week 4 Volume of urine in the bladder after standardized bladder filling measured by catheterization (PVRc2).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Voided Volume After Standardized Bladder Filling (VV_St) at Week 4 Week 4 VVst is thought to increase as the bladder emptying is improved. Standardizing the bladder filling is thought to increase accuracy in comparison with normal spontaneous bladder filling which will differ between time points. No multiplicity correction will be performed.
Bladder Voiding Efficiency Calculated With PVRc2 and VV-St (BVEc2) at Week 4 Week 4 Bladder voiding efficiency (BVE) is defined as the percentage of the total bladder capacity (BC) that is voided using the following formula: BVE = \[volume voided (VV) / (PVR + VV)\] x 100. BVEc2: BVE calculated for PVRc2 parameter i.e. BVEc2 = \[VV_St / (PVRc2 + VV_St)\] x 100.
