Web-based Methodology Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tolterodine ER in Subjects With Overactive Bladder

Mean voided volume per micturition was calculated as sum of voided volume divided by the total number of micturition episodes with a recorded voided volume greater than 0 at that visit. Baseline values for each time point were calculated separately considering only those participants who were evaluable at the given time point.

UUI episodes were defined as those with the Urinary Sensation Scale (USS) rating of 5 in the diary. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine. Baseline values for each time point were calculated separately considering only those participants who were evaluable at the given time point.

Micturitions include episodes of voluntary micturition and episodes of UUI. UUI episodes were defined as those micturitions with USS rating of 5 in the diary in participants with UUI at baseline. USS rating 5: Unable to hold; leak urine. The mean number of micturitions per 24 hours was calculated as the total number of micturitions divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit. Baseline values for each time point were calculated separately considering only those participants who were evaluable at the given time point.

Nocturnal micturitions were defined as micturitions with USS rating 1-5 that occurred between the time the participant went to bed and the time he or she arose to start the next day. USS rating: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine. The mean number of nocturnal micturitions per 24 hours was calculated as the total number of nocturnal micturitions divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit.

The mean number of micturition-related nocturnal urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as the total number of micturitions with USS rating of greater than or equal to (>=) 3 that occurred between time participant went to bed and time participant arose to start next day divided by the total number of days that diary data was collected at that visit. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine.

The mean number of micturition-related urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as the total number of micturitions with USS rating of >= 3 divided by the total number of days that diary data was collected at that visit. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine. Baseline values for each time point were calculated separately considering only those participants who were evaluable at the given time point.

PPBC: self-administered,single-item questionnaire to describe participant's perception of bladder-related problems. PPBC assessed on 6-point scale:1=no problems at all,2=some very minor problems,3=some minor problems,4=some moderate problems,5=severe problems,6=many severe problems. Results categorized as score change (SC) from baseline on 2-point scale:improvement (negative SC),no improvement (SC 0 or more) and on 4-point scale:major improvement (SC is negative in magnitude of 2 or more), minor improvement (SC is negative in magnitude of 1), no change (SC= 0),deterioration (positive SC).

PPUS: a self-administered, single-item, validated questionnaire that measures the participant's perception of urinary urgency. It is sensitive to changes in perceptions of urinary urgency over time. Scale of 0 (usually not able to hold urine), 1 (usually able to hold urine [without leaking] until reaching toilet if go to toilet immediately), or 2 (usually able to finish what he/she is doing before going to toilet [without leaking]). Results categorized as SC from baseline on 3-point scale: improvement (positive SC), no change (SC 0), deterioration (negative SC).

OAB-q: a self-administered, 33-item, questionnaire that assesses how much the participant has been bothered by selected bladder symptoms. Each item rated by participant on Likert scale 1 (not at all) to 6 (a very great deal). Symptom bother score derived as sum of scores for items 1 to 8; lowest possible raw score: 8; highest possible score: 48. Data analyzed based on transformation of the score to a 0 to 100 scale [(Actual total raw score - lowest possible value of raw score)/range]*100. Higher scores values indicative of greater symptom bother.

OAB-q: self-administered, 33-item, questionnaire, assesses how much participant has been bothered by selected bladder symptoms. Each item rated on Likert scale 1 (not at all) to 6 (a very great deal). Questions 9 to 33 constitute HRQL, includes domains (range): concern(7-42), coping(8-48), sleep(5-30), and social function(5-30). Total HRQL score (25-125) derived as sum of HRQL domains. Transformed score range 0 to 100 (HRQL domain or total) = [(Highest possible raw score-Actual total raw score)/Raw score range]*100. Higher transformed scores indicate better HRQL.

Participant experience questionnaire (PEQ) is a web-based self-administered, exploratory questionnaire that assesses the participant's perception of trial method. Number of participants who responded to question 1, "Where did you hear first about the study?" are reported.

PEQ is a web-based self-administered, exploratory questionnaire that assesses the participant's perception of trial method. Number of participants who responded to question 2, "What led you to participate given the study drug is already available?" are reported.

PEQ:self-administered, to assess perception of trial method. Question3, "How satisfied were you with items?" on scale 1(very satisfied) to 5(very dissatisfied)- recruitment; questionnaires,surveys(Ques,Sur); identification verification(IV); informed consent(IC) process; website experience; phone call; laboratory(lab) kit delivery; lab location; lab staff service(Ser); physical exam(PE) scheduling,location (sch,loc); PE visit; medication(med) first batch delivery; med second batch delivery; cell phone(CP) received; CP use; call center(CC) ser; medical support(supp); technical supp; overall.

PEQ:self-administered, assesses participants perception of trial method. Question4, "How satisfied were you with items?" on scale 1(very easy) to 5(very difficult)- a: teaching video explaining CP use; recording urinations using CP; size of text on CP; sending your urinary information(inf) using your CP, e: overall, suitability for capturing urinations as they happened.
