All Individual Drugs Already Approved

Therapies where all constituent drugs have already been approved are likely to have better-understood side effect profiles.

Pivotal Trial

The final step before approval, pivotal trials feature drugs that have already shown basic safety & efficacy.

Trial Design

5Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Placebo Group

Group I: desmopressin melt 50 μgExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants took desmopressin melt 50 μg for 28 days to complete part 1 of the study. Participants continued on this dose in part 2 of the study for between 1 and 6 months (until the database for part 1 was locked and treatment was unblinded).

Group II: desmopressin melt 25 μgExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants took desmopressin melt 25 μg for 28 days to complete part 1 of the study. Participants continued on this dose in part 2 of the study for between 1 and 6 months (until the database for part 1 was locked and treatment was unblinded).

Group III: desmopressin melt 100 μgExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants will take desmopressin melt 100 μg for 28 days to complete part 1 of the study. Participants will continue on this dose in part 2 of the study for between 1-6 months (until the database for part 1 is locked and treatment is unblinded).

Group IV: desmopressin melt 10 μgExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants took desmopressin melt 10 μg for 28 days to complete part 1 of the study. Participants continued on this dose in part 2 of the study for between 1 and 6 months (until the database for part 1 was locked and treatment was unblinded).

Group V: PlaceboPlacebo Group1 Intervention

Participants took a placebo 'melt' for 28 days to complete part 1 of the study. In part 2, placebo patients were randomized to one of the other 4 treatment arms based on assignments predetermined at the initial randomization, to receive active desmopressin melt for between 1 and 6 months (until the database for part 1 was locked and treatment was unblinded).
