About this study

Official title: Postmarketing Study of Mirabegron in Japan: Long-term Add-on Therapy With Antimuscarinics in Patients With Overactive Bladder Treated With Mirabegron

The objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of add-on therapy with anticholinergics in patients with OAB on mirabegron.

Read the detailed description

This was a multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of add-on therapy with antimuscarinics in patients with OAB treated with mirabegron.

The total duration of the study period was 54 weeks in total, comprising a 2-week screening period and a 52-week treatment period. Patients who met the eligibility criteria for provisional enrollment received orally the study drug for the screening period (mirabegron 50 mg) once daily after breakfast for 2 weeks. Patients who met the eligibility criteria after the screening period were randomized to solifenacin 5 mg, propiverine 20 mg, imidafenacin 0.2 mg or tolterodine 4 mg in a 1:1:1:1 ratio, and received orally mirabegron 50 mg and antimuscarinics for 52 weeks. At week 8 visit, the dose of all antimuscarinics except for tolterodine could be increased by 2-fold (solifenacin 10 mg, propiverine 40 mg or imidafenacin 0.4 mg) if a patient met the following criteria: (1) had no response to the study drugs; (2) was considered by the investigator to have no safety concerns; and (3) agreed to increase the dose. However, in the event of AEs after the dose was increased, it could be reduced to the level before the increase. A dose increase for a second time after dose reduction was not permitted.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    TEAEs were defined as AEs observed after the first administration of the study drugs for the treatment period. The investigator assessed the severity of AEs, including abnormal clinical laboratory values, electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs, as follows: Mild: No disruption of normal daily activities; Moderate: Affected normal daily activities; Severe: Inability to perform daily activities. A drug-related TEAE was a TEAE with at least a possible relationship to the study drug as assessed by the investigator.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug up to week 52

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Change From Baseline in Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) Total Score

    The OABSS questionnaire was a questionnaire completed by participants with 4 questions regarding their OAB symptoms. For each participant, the OABSS total score was calculated from the sum total of the score of each question. The total score ranges from 0 to 15 with higher score indicating more symptoms. The OABSS data obtained at week 0 were used as baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and week 4, 8, 12, 16, 28 and 52

  2. Number of Participants Who Achieved Normalization for OABSS Total Score

    Normalization for OABSS Total Score was defined as OABSS total score ≤ 2 or OABSS Question 3 score ≤ 1.

    Measured: Week 52 (end of treatment)

  3. Change From Baseline in Overactive Bladder Questionnaire Short Form (OAB-q SF) Symptom Severity Score

    The OAB-q SF questionnaire was a questionnaire completed by participants composed of 2 sections: Symptom Severity and the Health-related Quality of Life (HRQL). The Symptom Severity section included 6 questions. For each participant, the symptom severity score was derived as a sum of scores for Questions 1 to 6. The total score ranges from 6 to 36 with higher symptom severity score indicating greater symptom bother. OAB-q SF data obtained at week 0 visit were used as baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and week 12, 28 and 52

  4. Change From Baseline in OAB-q SF Total HRQL Score

    The OAB-q SF questionnaire was a questionnaire completed by participants composed of 2 sections: Severity Symptom and the HRQL. The HRQL section included 13 questions. For each participant, the total HRQL score was derived as a sum of scores for Questions 7 to 19. The total score ranges from 13 to 78 with higher total HRQL score indicating greater HRQL. OAB-q SF data obtained at week 0 visit were used as baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and week 12, 28 and 52

  5. Change From Baseline in the Mean Number of Micturitions Per 24 Hours

    Participants completed the patient diary (paper document) for 3 days immediately before each visit. The mean number of micturitions per 24 hours was calculated by taking the sum of all marked episodes in the patient diary where the variable "urinated" was indicated, divided by the number of days on which episodes were recorded.

    Measured: Baseline and week 4, 8, 12, 16, 28, 40, 52

  6. Number for Participants Who Achieved Normalization of the Mean Number of Micturitions Per 24 Hours

    Normalization for the mean number of micturitions per 24 hours was defined as < 8 micturitions per 24 hours.

    Measured: Week 52 (end of treatment)

  7. Change From Baseline in the Mean Number of Urgency Episodes Per 24 Hours

    Participants completed the patient diary (paper document) for 3 days immediately before each visit. An urgency episode was defined as a complaint of a sudden, compelling desire to pass urine, which is difficult to defer. The mean number of urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated by taking the sum of all marked episodes in the patient diary where the variable "urgency" was indicated, divided by the number of days on which episodes were recorded. Only participants who had an urgency episode at baseline was included in the analysis.

    Measured: Baseline and week 4, 8, 12, 16, 28, 40, 52

  8. Number for Participants Who Achieved Normalization of the Mean Number of Urgency Episodes Per 24 Hours

    Normalization for the mean number of urgency episodes per 24 hours was defined as no urgency episode per 24 hours.

    Measured: Week 52 (end of treatment)

  9. Change From Baseline in the Mean Number of Incontinence Episodes Per 24 Hours

    Participants completed the patient diary (paper document) for 3 days immediately before each visit. An incontinence episode was defined as the complaint of any involuntary leakage of urine. The mean number of incontinence episodes per 24 hours was calculated by taking the sum of all marked episodes in the patient diary where the variable "urinary incontinence'" was indicated, divided by the number of days on which episodes were recorded. Only participants who had an incontinence episode at baseline was included in the analysis.

    Measured: Baseline and week 4, 8, 12, 16, 28, 40, 52

  10. Number for Participants Who Achieved Normalization of the Mean Number of Incontinence Episodes Per 24 Hours

    Normalization for the mean number of incontinence episodes per 24 hours was defined as no incontinence episode per 24 hours.

    Measured: Week 52 (end of treatment)

  11. Change From Baseline in the Mean Number of Urge Incontinence Episodes Per 24 Hours

    Participants completed the patient diary (paper document) for 3 days immediately before each visit. An urge incontinence episode was defined as any episode when both urgency and incontinence occurred concurrently. The mean number of incontinence episodes per 24 hours was calculated by taking the sum of all marked episodes in the patient diary where the variable "urgency" and "urinary incontinence'" were indicated, divided by the number of days on which episodes were recorded. Only participants who had an urge incontinence episode at baseline was included in the analysis.

    Measured: Baseline and week 4, 8, 12, 16, 28, 40, 52

  12. Change From Baseline in the Mean Volume Voided Per Micturition

    Participants completed the patient diary (paper document) for 3 days immediately before each visit. The mean volume per micturition was calculated by taking the sum of the urinary volumes where the volume voided was > 0 and where "urinary incontinence" was not indicated in the patient diary, divided by the number of micturitions where the volume voided was > 0 and where "urinary incontinence" was not indicated. Only participants who had volume voided was > 0 at baseline was included in the analysis.

    Measured: Baseline and week 4, 8, 12, 16, 28, 40, 52

  13. Change From Baseline in the Mean Number of Nocturia Episodes Per Night

    Participants completed the patient diary (paper document) for 3 days immediately before each visit. A nocturia episode was defined as waking at night 1 or more times to void. Night time was defined as the period between bedtime and the wake-up time the following day (micturitions at the same time as the wake-up time were excluded). The mean number of nocturia episodes per night was calculated by taking the sum of nocturia episodes in the patient diary where the variable "urinated" was indicated during the night time, divided by the number of nights. Only participants who had a nocturia episode at baseline was included in the analysis.

    Measured: Baseline and week 4, 8, 12, 16, 28, 40, 52

  14. Number of Participants Who Achieved Normalization of the Mean Number of Nocturia Episodes Per 24 Hours

    Normalization for the mean number of nocturia episodes per 24 hours was defined as no nocturia episode per 24 hours.

    Measured: Week 52 (end of treatment)

  15. Change From Baseline in Postvoid Residual (PVR) Volume

    Measurement of PVR volume was made using either ultrasonography or urethral catheterization, provided that the same method was used for the same participant throughout the study.

    Measured: Baseline and week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52
