Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Part I: Change From Baseline in Mean Number of Nocturnal Voids at Week 4- Week 3 to Day 1 (Baseline), Week 4 (end of Part I)The number of nocturnal voids was the average over 3 consecutive 24-hours periods prior to Day 1 and prior to the week 4 visit as recorded in participant diaries. This was the first co-primary outcome.
Part I: Percentage of Participants With Greater Than 33 Percent Reduction From Baseline in Mean Number of Nocturnal Voids at Week 4- Week 3 to Day 1 (Baseline), Week 4 (end of Part I)Percentage of participants in each treatment arm that had a greater than 33% reduction from baseline to the end of Part I (week 4) in mean number of nocturnal voids. Nocturnal void data were recorded in participant diaries. This was the second co-primary outcome.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Part I: Change From Baseline in Total Reported Sleep Time at Week 4- Week 3 to Day 1 (Baseline), Week 4 (end of Part I)Total sleep time was recorded by participants in study diaries.
Part I: Change From Baseline in Initial Period of Undisturbed Sleep at Week 4- Week 3 to Day 1 (Baseline), Week 4 (end of Part I)Initial period of undisturbed sleep was the time elapsed from first falling asleep until either first void or morning arising. Data were captured in patient diaries.
Part I: Change From Baseline in Quality of Life Assessed by The International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Nocturia (ICIQ-N) at Week 4- Week 3 to Day 1 (Baseline), Week 4 (end of Part I)The ICIQ-N is a self-administered questionnaire designed to assess the frequency and bother of daytime and nighttime urination. Subjects were asked to rate the degree of bother of daytime urination and nighttime urination on a scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 10 (a great deal). Higher numbers indicate lower quality of life.
Part I: Change From Baseline in the Two Domain Scores of the Nocturia Quality of Life (NQoL) Questionnaire at Week 4- Week 3 to Day 1 (Baseline), Week 4 (end of Part I)The NQoL questionnaire is a self-administered questionnaire designed to assess the impact of nocturia on quality of life. It contains a sleep/energy domain (6 questions), a bother/concern domain (6 questions), and 1 global QoL question. The twelve core questions are scored on a 0 to 4 scale with higher numbers indicating a better quality of life. Domain summary scores were calculated by transforming the raw score into a 0-100 scale with higher numbers indicating a better quality of life.

The SF-12 consists of 12 questions. Data were analyzed using norm-based scoring and summarized along 2 dimensions: Physical Health Summary and Mental Health Summary. Each summary has a range from 0 (poor health) to 100 (highest level of health). Higher numbers indicate better quality of life.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Eighty-eight (88) sites were initiated in the United States and Canada, and 81 of these sites screened subjects; 78 sites enrolled and randomized subjects. A total of 1412 subjects were screened for Part I of the study; 613 subjects were screening failures.

Pre-assignment details

Potential subjects were given a sleep/voiding diary and urine collection device to record the time and volume of each void for 3 consecutive 24-hour periods. Randomization was stratified by age (\<65, ≥65 years) and by the absence/presence of nocturnal polyuria, defined as a ratio of nighttime urine volume/24-hour urine volume ≥33%.

Part I: Change From Baseline in the Two Domain Scores of the Nocturia Quality of Life (NQoL) Questionnaire at Week 4

The NQoL questionnaire is a self-administered questionnaire designed to assess the impact of nocturia on quality of life. It contains a sleep/energy domain (6 questions), a bother/concern domain (6 questions), and 1 global QoL question. The twelve core questions are scored on a 0 to 4 scale with higher numbers indicating a better quality of life. Domain summary scores were calculated by transforming the raw score into a 0-100 scale with higher numbers indicating a better quality of life.

Time frame: - Week 3 to Day 1 (Baseline), Week 4 (end of Part I)

Population: Intent to treat population of participants who completed the questionnaire at both baseline and end of Part 1.

Part II: Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) During Study Part II

A treatment-emergent adverse event (AE) was any AE occurring during the treatment period or a pretreatment AE that worsened in intensity during the treatment period. The treatment period was the period during which a subject received investigational medicinal product. If a subject discontinued the investigational medicinal product, the date of last dose was the last day of the treatment period.

Time frame: Week 5 up to Day 169

Population: Part II Safety Population includes study participants who received study intervention and had at least one safety assessment during study Part II.

Part I: Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) During Study Part I

A treatment-emergent adverse event (AE) was any AE occurring during the treatment period or a pretreatment AE that worsened in intensity during the treatment period. The treatment period was the period during which a subject received investigational medicinal product. If a subject discontinued the investigational medicinal product, the date of last dose was the last day of the treatment period.

Time frame: Day 1 up to Week 4 (end of Part I)

Population: Part I Safety Population includes study participants who received study intervention and had at least one safety assessment during study Part I.
