E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The principle objective of the pilot study is to ensure that a full randomised control trial (RCT) is logistically feasible and acceptable to patients.
The aim of the RCT study will be to compare the effectiveness of Botox® (onaBtA) with extended release tolterodine in children with IOAB aged 7-16 years inclusive. Our hypothesis is that treatment with Botox® will result in significant improvement in the mean number of daytime incontinence episodes per day compared to extended release tolterodine.
We will collect the following information to allow us to plan the main trial:
1. Eligibility rate of the patients screened - how many meet the eligibility criteria.
2. Recruitment rate of the eligible patients - how many consent to take part in the study.
3. Acceptability of randomisation to those patients consenting - how many are actually randomised, and of those randomised how many receive the treatment allocated.
4. Primary outcome data for the power calculation.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Children of both sexes between the age of 7 and 16 years inclusive, with clinical symptoms of IOAB. IOAB clinical symptoms are urgency, wetting episodes, increased frequency of micturition.
2. Symptoms must include episodes of daytime urinary incontinence. Symptomatic patients are defined as those who have symptoms of overactive bladder with at least two episodes of daytime wetting per week despite medication.
3. Incomplete resolution of symptoms after bladder training and at least six months of anticholinergic therapy (or at least four months duration of therapy at study registration). Anticholinergic therapy may comprise of Oxybutynin, Solifenacin or Tolterodine. Incomplete resolution is defined as per ICCS definition as no and partial response (less than 50% and 50 - 90% improvement respectively).
4. Urodynamic studies demonstrating either detrusor over activity and/or reduced bladder compliance and/or reduced bladder capacity.
• Reduced bladder capacity is defined as bladder capacity smaller than 70% of expected capacity. Expected bladder capacity (mls) is calculated as: (age{in years} +1) X 30
• Reduced bladder compliance is defined as <15mls / cm H2O
Bladder compliance is calculated by dividing the change in bladder volume (V) by the change in detrusor pressure (pdet) during that change in bladder volume: Compliance (ml/cm H20) = V/pdet
Two standard points are taken for calculation of bladder compliance – first is detrusor pressure at start of bladder filling; second is detrusor pressure at cystometric capacity or immediately before the start of any detrusor contraction that causes significant leakage
• Detrusor overactivity is defined as bladder activity involving a rise of detrusor pressure of greater than 5 cm H2O above baseline
5. Ultrasound of the renal tract showing no structural abnormality, which could account for the symptoms. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) (more than two documented episodes in the last three months) not controlled with antibiotic prophylaxis.
2. The presence of a neurological pathology, which could account for incontinence, on physical examination.
3. Evidence of significant dysfunctional voiding.
4. Post-void residuals greater than 20% of predicted bladder capacity.
5. Previous treatment with Botox®
6. Allergy to Botox® or Tolterodine
7. Positive pregnancy test in post menarchal girls
8. Myasthenia gravis
9. Kidney transplant
10. Abnormal liver function (liver function tests > 3 times upper limit of laboratory normal range)
11. Severe ulcerative colitis, toxic megacolon, gastro-intestinal obstruction or intestinal atony. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
We will collect the following information to allow us to plan the main trial:
1. Eligibility rate of the patients screened - how many meet the eligibility criteria.
2. Recruitment rate of the eligible patients - how many consent to take part in the study.
3. Acceptability of randomisation to those patients consenting - how many are actually randomised, and of those randomised how many receive the treatment allocated.
4. Primary outcome data for the power calculation.
5. Loss to follow up rate of the patients randomised - how many children will continue to be willing to participate throughout the study
6. Acceptability and suitability of urodynamic study to assess secondary outcome measures
The pilot study will be conducted with the same protocol as is intended for the full trial. Our primary outcome measure for the proposed RCT will be the mean number of episodes of urinary incontinence per day. This information will be derived from the data recorded in the bladder diary. No bladder diary has been validated for this purpose in the literature although the standardisation committee of the International Children's Continence Society(ICCS) stipulates what data should be collected in a bladder diary and for how long. We will therefore assess whether patients complete the data collection tool (bladder diary) with sufficient detail and accuracy to allow robust reporting of the primary outcome measure.
The secondary outcome measures for the proposed RCT following this pilot/feasibility study will be follows:
Urodynamic study data at six weeks Bladder diary analysis at six weeks, three and six months Post-void residual urine volume at 3 and 6 months Quality of life scores (PedsQL / PinQ) at six weeks, three and six months Adverse effects
