Keywords
Study of fesoterodine in pediatric overactive bladder patients
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of fesoterodine following administration to pediatric patients, aged 8-17 years, with overactive bladder.
Interventions
4 mg once daily for Weeks 1-4 and 8 mg once daily for Weeks 5-8

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* A total body weight \>25 kg (55 lbs). * Symptoms of urinary frequency (average ≥8 daily bathroom visits to urinate) and urgency to urinate, with or without urgency incontinence, for at least 6 months prior to enrolment, OR * Stable neurological disease and urodynamically confirmed detrusor overactivity, who may require intermittent catheterization for management of urinary drainage.
Exclusion criteria
* Treatment with an investigational drug within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before first study dose * Ongoing use of potent CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers or CYP2D6 inhibitors * Ongoing use of another drug for treating overactive bladder * Uncontrolled narrow angle glaucoma, urinary or gastric retention
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Apparent Oral Clearance (CL/F) | Day 28 and Day 56 | Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Clearance was estimated using non linear mixed effect modeling. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood. |
| Absorption Rate Constant (Ka) | Day 28 and Day 56 | — |
| Apparent Volume of Distribution (VC/F) | Day 28 and Day 56 | The volume necessary to account for the total amount of drug in the body if it were present throughout the body at the same concentration found in the blood. Estimated using non linear mixed effect modeling. |
| Area Under the Plasma Drug Concentration Time Curve (AUC) | Day 28 and Day 56 | AUC is a measure of the serum concentration of the drug over time. It is used to characterize drug absorption. |
| Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) | Day 28 and Day 56 | — |
| Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) | Day 28 and Day 56 | — |
| Plasma Decay Half-Life (t1/2) | Day 28 and Day 56 | Plasma decay half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by one half. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Post-void Residual (PVR) Volume | Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8 post-dose | Volume of urine remaining in the bladder immediately after urination. |
