Summary

The purpose is to compare solifenacin and oxybutynin with an inactive tablet and assess any potential effects on mental ability.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Study to Compare the Cognitive Effect of Solifenacin 5mg Once-daily and Oxybutynin 5mg Twice-daily After Chronic Dosing Versus Placebo in Subjects 75 Years and Over With Mild Cognitive Impairment - A Double-blind, Randomized, Multi-center Study

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)

Primary outcome:

Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function Composite Score - Power of Attention

Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function Composite Score - Continuity of Attention

Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function Composite Score - Quality of Working Memory

Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function Composite Score - Quality of Episodic Secondary Memory

Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function Composite Score - Speed of Memory

Secondary outcome: Change From Baseline in Postural Stability Test

Detailed description: All subjects will receive each intervention during the course of the study. Subjects will complete a 21-day washout period between treatment periods and following last treatment period.

succinate, oxybutynin hydrochloride, other anti-cholinergics or lactose, to any component of the dosage form

- The subject has taken any unstable doses of prescribed medication within ≤ 1 month

prior to screening or over-the-counter medicine (including vitamins and herbal remedies) within 48 hours prior to the first study day, which in the opinion of the Investigator, will interfere with the study procedures or compromise safety

bladder symptoms or has history of non-drug treatment intended to treat overactive bladder symptoms within ≤ 3 months prior to screening
