Alfuzosin Treatment in Children and Adolescents With Neurogenic Urinary Bladder Dysfunction
ALFACHIN
12-week, Multicenter, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study to Investigate the Efficacy, Pharmacodynamic and Safety of 2 Doses of Alfuzosin (0.1 mg/kg/Day, 0.2 mg/kg/Day) in the Treatment of Children and Adolescents 2-16 Years With Elevated Detrusor Leak Point Pressure of Neuropathic Etiology Followed by a 40-week Open-label Extension

Brief Summary
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of Alfuzosin in comparison to Placebo on the detrusor Leak Point Pressure (LPP) in children and adolescents 2-16 years of age with elevated detrusor LPP of neuropathic etiology and detrusor LPP ≥ 40 cm H2O. Secondary objectives were:
- To investigate the safety and tolerability of two doses of Alfuzosin in comparison to Placebo in children and adolescents,
- To evaluate the effects of the two doses of Alfuzosin in comparison to Placebo on:
- Detrusor compliance,
- Urinary tract infection,
- To investigate the pharmacokinetics of Alfuzosin (population kinetics),
- To evaluate the 12-month long-term safety of Alfuzosin 0.1 mg/kg/day and 0.2 mg/kg/day. The study consisted of 2 periods:
- a 12-week double blind treatment period where patients were to receive either Alfuzosin 0.1 mg/kg/day or Alfuzosin 0.2 mg/kg/day or placebo then,
- a 40-week open label extension treatment period where patients were to receive either Alfuzosin 0.1 mg/kg/day or Alfuzosin 0.2 mg/kg/day.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of Patients With Detrusor Leak Point Pressure (LPP) < 40 cm H2O
Detrusor Leak Point Pressure (LPP) was measured by cystometry. For each measure, 2 or 3 cystometries were carried out depending on the difference between the 2 first LPP values (if the difference ≥ 20 cm H2O, a 3rd cystometry was done). The lowest value was retained. Investigators reading was then consolidated by the review of all cystometry data by 2 external "Expert Reviewers", who were blinded for the study treatment. The analysis was performed on consolidated investigators data (i.e. endorsed by the Investigator taking into account reviewers opinion).

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patient with elevated detrusor Leak Point Pressure (LPP) of neuropathic etiology and Detrusor LPP ≥ 40 cm H2O and \< 100 cm H2O.
You may not qualify if:
- Urological surgery in the last 4 months prior to the study,
- Patients who have urethral dilatation in the last 3 months prior to the baseline urodynamic assessment,
- α-blocker therapy in the last 4 weeks prior to the baseline urodynamic assessment,
- Detrusor injections of botulinum toxin in the last 6 months,
- Urological diseases/conditions other than functional bladder obstruction of neuropathic etiology that can lead to upper urinary tract dilatation (e.g., bladder anomalies, ureterocele),
- History of intolerance to α-blocker therapy,
- Orthostatic hypotension,
- History of risk factors for Torsade de pointes (e.g., family history of Long QT Syndrome).
- The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
