Desmopressin in the treatment of nocturia: A double-blind, placebo-controlled study
(2007) In European Urology 52(1). p.221-229- Abstract
- Objectives: To investigate efficacy, safety, and impact on quality of sleep of desmopressin in the treatment of nocturia. Methods: Adults aged >= 18 yr with nocturia (>= 2 voids/night) received desmopressin tablets (0.1, 0.2, or 0.4 mg) during a 3-wk dose-titration period. Patients should show sufficient response during the dose-titration period (>= 20% reduction in nocturnal diuresis) and a return of nocturnal diuresis to >= 80% of baseline levels during washout. Eligible patients then entered a 3-wk double-blind treatment period and received either desmopressin or placebo. Results: 127 patients were randomised to either desmopressin (n = 61) or placebo (n = 66). Twenty (33%) desmopressin-treated patients compared with seven... (More)

Eligible patients then entered a 3-wk double-blind treatment period and received either desmopressin or placebo. Results: 127 patients were randomised to either desmopressin (n = 61) or placebo (n = 66). Twenty (33%) desmopressin-treated patients compared with seven (11%) placebo-treated patients showed a clinical response, defined as a >= 50% reduction in the number of nocturnal voids compared with baseline (p = 0.0014). Compared with placebo, desmopressin resulted in a significant reduction in the mean number of nocturnal voids (39% reduction with desmopressin vs. 15% with placebo; absolute difference -0.84, p < 0.0001) and duration of the first sleep period (prolonged by 108 min with desmopressin vs. 41 min with placebo; p < 0.0001). Quality of sleep was also improved with clesmopressin versus placebo (statistically significant for one of the two parameters evaluated). Adverse events were mainly mild. Conclusions: Oral clesmopressin tablets provide an effective and well-tolerated treatment for nocturia. Compared with placebo, nocturnal voiding frequency is reduced, duration of the first sleep period is increased, and sleep quality may be improved. (Less)
