Official title: A 12-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Multicenter Trial To Evaluate The Efficacy And Safety Of A Fesoterodine Flexible Dose Regimen In Patients With Overactive Bladder.

This Phase 3B study is designed to test if a fesoterodine flexible dose regimen is more effective than placebo in reducing micturition frequency and other overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, e.g., urgency, urgency incontinence episodes in patients with overactive bladder and if the fesoterodine regimen is safe and well tolerated.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Mean Number of Micturition Episodes Per 24 Hours at Week 12 Relative to Baseline.

    The number of micturitions per 24 hours was calculated as the sum of all micturitions divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit.

    Change: mean at Week 12 minus mean at Baseline

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Change in Mean Number of Micturition Episodes Per 24 Hours Relative to Baseline

    The number of micturitions per 24 hours was calculated as the sum of all micturitions divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit.

    Change: mean at observation minus mean at baseline

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2 and Week 6

  2. Change in Number of Urgency Episodes Per 24 Hours Relative to Baseline

    Change in number of urgency episodes (urinary sensation scale [USS] rating of 3 or more) recorded in the bladder diary. Scale: 0=no feeling of urgency to 5=unable to hold; leak urine. The number of urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as the sum of all urgency episodes divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 6 and Week 12

  3. Change in Number of Severe Urgency Episodes Per 24 Hours Relative to Baseline

    Change in number of severe urgency episodes (urinary sensation scale [USS] rating of 4 or more) recorded in the bladder diary. Scale: 0=no feeling of urgency to 5=unable to hold; leak urine. Number of severe urgency episodes per 24 hours calculated as sum of all severe urgency episodes divided by total number of diary days collected at that visit.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 6 and Week 12

  4. Change in Number of Urgency Urinary Incontinence (UUI) Episodes Per 24 Hours Relative to Baseline

    Change in number of UUI episodes (urinary sensation scale [USS] rating of 5) recorded in the bladder diary. Scale: 0=no feeling of urgency to 5=unable to hold; leak urine

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 6 and Week 12

  5. Change in Nocturnal Micturition Episodes Per 24 Hours Relative to Baseline

    Change in number of nocturnal micturitions (NM) recorded in the bladder diary. NM were defined as micturitions that occurred between the time the subject went to bed and the time he or she arose to start the next day. The number of NM per 24 hours was calculated as the sum of all NM divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 6 and Week 12

  6. Change in Number of Nocturnal Urgency Episodes Per 24 Hours Relative to Baseline

    Change in number of nocturnal urgency episodes (NUE) recorded in bladder diary. NUE had urinary sensation scale (USS) rating of 3 or more that occurred between time subject went to bed and time he or she arose to start next day. Number of NUE per 24 hours was calculated as sum of all NUE divided by total number of diary days collected at that visit

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 6 and Week 12

  7. Change in Frequency-urgency Sum Per 24 Hours Relative to Baseline

    Change in frequency urgency sum is total urinary sensation scale (USS) ratings recorded for all micturitions in 24-hour day. Number of USS ratings per 24 hours is sum of all USS ratings divided by the total diary days collected at that visit. USS scale: 1=No feeling of urgency to 5=Unable to hold:leak urine. Numerical decrease indicates improvement

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 6 and Week 12

  8. Change in Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q) at Week 12 Relative to Baseline - Symptom Bother Scale

    Each item rated by subject on a Likert scale 1 (least symptom bother) to 6 (most symptom bother). Raw scores were transformed to a score from 0 to 100. Once transformed a negative change indicates improvement.

    Change: mean at Week 12 minus mean at baseline

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  9. Change in Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q) at Week 12 Relative to Baseline - Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) Subscales

    Each item rated by subject on a Likert scale 1 (least symptom bother) to 6 (most symptom bother). Raw scores were transformed to a score from 0 to 100. Once transformed a positive change indicates improvement.

    Change: mean at Week 12 minus mean at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  10. Categorical Change in Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC) Score Relative to Baseline

    PPBC scale range: 1='does not cause me any problems at all' to 6='causes me many severe problems'. Major improvement=negative score change of 2 or more from baseline; minor improvement=negative score change of 1 or more from baseline; no change=0 score change from baseline; Deterioration=positive score change from baseline

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 6 and Week 12

  11. Categorical Change in Urgency Perception Scale (UPS) Relative to Baseline

    UPS scores range from 0 ("I am usually not able to hold urine") to 2 ("I am usually able to finish what I am doing before going to the toilet [without leaking]"). Improvement: positive score change; No change: score change=0; Deterioration: negative score change

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 6 and Week 12

  12. Change in Urgency Severity Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Relative to Baseline

    The urgency severity VAS Scale records the subject's assessment of the severity of urgency. VAS scale ranges from 1 'Very Mild' to 10 'Very Severe'. Negative change indicated improvement.

    Change: mean at observation minus mean at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 6 and Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Fesoterodine in people with Overactive Bladder, run by Pfizer at 95 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 95 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Sep 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Mean Number of Micturition Episodes Per 24 Hours at Week 12 Relative to Baseline. (time frame: Baseline and Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00536484, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Sep 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
