15This study will be investigating the effects of fesoterodine on autonomic dysreflexia (AD) in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI). The goal of the study is to examine the effect of increasing daily use of fesoterodine on episodes of high blood pressure triggered by urinary bladder contractions.
This is a Phase 2, open-label exploratory study investigating the efficacy of fesoterodine for treatment of adult patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) with autonomic dysreflexia (AD) triggered by neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO).
4mg, oral, once daily for 12 weeks; dose adjustments may be permitted.
