KANGUROO Trial Summary

This trial will test a new drug to help kids with a bladder condition called NDO, to see if it's safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 2 to <18 with Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity (NDO) due to spinal conditions or injury, who use Clean Intermittent Catheterization (CIC). They must weigh at least 11 kg if under 12 years old, and at least 29.5 kg if between 12 and <18 years old. Those with recent urethral procedures, bladder surgeries, active cancers, certain medication usage or unwillingness to stop NDO medications are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of a drug called Vibegron in young patients with overactive bladders due to NDO. It will also assess how the body processes the drug. Participants are divided into two groups based on age: one for ages 2-<12 and another for ages 12-<18.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, common side effects of drugs like Vibegron may include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, dizziness and urinary tract infections. The exact side effects experienced by participants will be monitored throughout the trial.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 2: Vibegron Children (2 to < 12 years)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Part A: Participants aged 2 to < 12 years will receive vibegron based on their weight, after DSMB review of Cohort 1, Part A data, with dose reduction based on individual clinical condition, PK, and safety/tolerability data. Participants may be dose-reduced up to 2 times. Part B: Participants will receive a DSMB-selected vibegron dose for their weight determined from participants in their respective cohort and weight band of Part A.
Group II: Cohort 1: Vibegron Adolescents (12 to < 18 years)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Part A: Participants aged 12 to < 18 years will receive vibegron based on their weight, with dose reduction based on individual clinical condition, PK, and safety/tolerability data. Participants may be dose-reduced up to 2 times. Part B: Participants will receive a Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB)-selected vibegron dose for their weight determined from participants in their respective cohort and weight band of Part A.
