Sponsor:	Ferring Pharmaceuticals
Information provided by:	Ferring Pharmaceuticals
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00209261

Purpose

To evaluate the preference of subjects for Minirin® oral lyophilisate treatment compared with Minirin® tablet treatment after 6 weeks.

To compare efficacy of the 2 formulations at the end of the 6-week treatment period using diary card data.

To compare ease of use of both formulations at 3 and 6 weeks using a VAS-scale. To validate a PNE Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaire. To evaluate safety. To compare compliance with the 2 formulations

Primary Outcome Measures:

The primary endpoint will be the difference in the proportion of subjects who preferred each formulation at the end of the 6-week treatment period. [ Time Frame: 6 weeks (melt) and 6 weeks (tablet). Total 12 weeks. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Efficacy will be measured as the difference in the incidence of bedwetting episodes during each 3-week treatment period, compared between formulations. [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The subjects will be asked to rate the ease of use of each formulation using a 100 mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), with 0 = I find it very easy to use this medicine and 100 = I find it very difficult to use this medicine. [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Subjects will be asked to complete a QoL questionnaire at visit 2 and visit 3. [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Safety comparison between the 2 formulations. [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Comparison of compliance between the 2 formulations. [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
The subjects will be asked a question regarding which treatment (Minirin® oral lyophilisate or Minirin® tablet) they preferred at the end of 6 weeks treatment. [ Time Frame: 6 weeks (melt) and 6 weeks (tablet). Total 12 weeks. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
