Participate in a Clinical Trial
Without the participation of people with MS, it would be impossible to develop new and better therapies and other interventions.
Botulinum Toxin A vs Anticholinergic Treatment of Neurogenic Overactive Bladder in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Study Purpose
Botulinum toxin type A injections into the detrusor at a dose of 200 units (U) of BOTOX® are a recognized second-line treatment for the treatment of adult neurogenic lower urinary tract disorders. Anticholinergics are established as the usual first-line treatment for neurogenic detrusor hyperactivity, but are oft not sufficiently effective and have significant side effects. In patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) suffering from overactive bladder, the 200 U dose of BOTOX® is very effective but induces a risk of urinary retention in 30% of patients requiring the temporary use of self-catheterization1. At 100 U, a recent study shows the efficacy and very good tolerance of botulinum toxin A in terms of probing risk in MS patients with overactive bladder and failure of anticholinergics. Furthermore, the efficacy of anticholinergics in MS has been little studied and is also disputed. The investigators plan to test the therapeutic alternative as the first line of treatment in two groups of randomized MS patients from a homogeneous population suffering from overactive bladder:
- - a group testing the effectiveness of low doses of botulinum toxin type A (100 U, BOTOX®), - the other group receiving the standard anticholinergic treatment (solifenacin succinate, Vesicare®).

Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms |
No |
Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial Details
Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT04819360 |
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
