The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of fesoterodine at 4mg and 8mg doses
versus a placebo and oxybutynin 5mg bid versus placebo on cognitive abilities in older
people with overactive bladder and mild cognitive impairment.
Clinical Details
Official title: A Phase IV Cross Over Study of Fesoterodine and Oxybutynin Versus Placebo on Cognitive Function in Subjects With Overactive Bladder and Mild Cognitive Impairment
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary outcome: continuity of attention
Secondary outcome: cognitive function
Detailed description:
This is a randomized placebo controlled, blinded four way cross over trial of the effect of
medications used to treat overactive bladder on the cognition of older men and women with
mild cognitive impairment. Each treatment phase is a week, with a weeks washout period
before starting the next treatment. Cognitive testing is by way of a validated computer
assisted battery of tests
Eligibility
Minimum age: 75 Years.
Maximum age: N/A.
Gender(s): Both.
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
1. The subject is either male or female and ≥ 75 years of age.
2. The subject has OAB as determined by ICS criteria
3. The subject has mild cognitive impairment as determined by NIA criteria
4. The subject is competent to give informed consent and perform the tasks associated
with the study
5. The subject has a body mass index (BMI) between 18. 0 to 30. 0 kg/m2 inclusive.
6. Written informed consent has been obtained.
7. The subject is available to complete the study.
8. At training visits (visit 2): the subject has performed at or above the minimum level
on at least one occasion for each individual task measure in cognitive function test
training.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. The subject does not have OAB.
2. The subject has either dementia or moderate to severe cognitive impairment at
screening.
3. The subject has probable clinical depression as determined by Geriatric Depression
Scale (GDS) short form >5 at screening.
4. Subjects taking any cognitive enhancers (cholinesterase inhibitors or memantine).
5. The subject has a history of allergy to the study drug(s), to any component of the
dosage form or any other allergy, which, in the opinion of the Investigator,
contraindicates their participation.
6. The subject has any clinically significant abnormal heart rate or blood pressure
measurements, at the screening visit, which, in the opinion of the Investigator,
prevent safe participation in the study. (dBP< 60mmHg or > 90mmHg, sBP < 95mmHg or >
160mmHg or HR < 40bpm or > 100bpm).
7. Subjects with known history of urinary retention, severe gastrointestinal obstruction
(including paralytic ileus or intestinal atony) or severe gastrointestinal conditions
(including toxic megacolon or ulcerative colitis), myasthenia gravis, uncontrolled
narrow angle glaucoma or shallow interior chamber or subjects deemed to be at risk
for these conditions.
8. Subjects undergoing haemodialysis or who have severe renal impairment.
9. Subjects with severe hepatic impairment, defined as Child-Pugh grade IV.
10. Subjects taking potent CYP 3A4 inhibitors which would, under normal circumstances,
require adjustment of the dose of the test drugs.
11. Subject has taken prescribed medication within 14 days prior to the first study day
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.
12. Subject has an average weekly alcohol intake of greater than 21 units (male) or 14
units (female) within the 90 days prior to the study. 1 unit is 270cc of beer, 40cc
of spirits or 125cc of wine.
13. History of smoking more than 10 cigarettes (or the equivalent amount of tobacco) per
day within the 90 days prior to the study.
14. Subject has participated in any clinical study within the last 90 days.
15. Any clinically significant abnormality following Investigator review of the pre study
physical examination.
16. Any clinical condition, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would not allow
safe completion of the study.
17. Any subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, may find it difficult to adhere
to the provisions of treatment and observation specified in the protocol.
