About this study
Official title: Mirabegron and Urinary Urgency Incontinence: The Clinical Response and the Female Urinary Microbiome
This study is for women diagnosed with urinary urgency incontinence (UUI) or overactive bladder (OAB). Some patients continue to have symptoms even while taking medication for OAB. The purpose of this study is to estimate the number of women who respond to a medication called mirabegron and estimate change in symptom severity over 12 weeks of therapy. A secondary goal is to correlate the female urinary microbiome (FUM) with response to treatment and change in symptom severity over 12 weeks of therapy.
Read the detailed description
Mirabegron is an FDA-approved medication for urgency incontinence. Evaluation of mirabegron's influence on clinical symptoms may need to take into account the effect of the female urinary microbiome (FUM) on a patient's response to treatment. Compared to asymptomatic patients, several bacterial species are more common in patients with overactive bladder.
Currently, physicians have limited ability to personalize a patient's urinary urgency incontinence treatment and, consequently, the prescribed medication may provide minimal symptom relief. Since the FUM can be assessed prior to treatment, this study proposes to determine if baseline FUM assessment can provide insight into future symptom relief with mirabegron treatment.

MirabegronDrug
Also called Myrbetriq, Betmiga
Mirabegron is a medication for the treatment of overactive bladder. It was developed by Astellas Pharma and was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in July 2012.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Mirabegron | Experimental | Participants received mirabegron (Myrbetriq) daily for 12 weeks Receives: Drug: Mirabegron |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Response to Therapy
Response to therapy was measured using the Patient Perception of Bladder Control (PPBC) questionnaire which measures patients' perceived bladder condition on a 6-point ordinal scale ranging from 1 (no problems at all) to 6 (many severe problems). Women reporting a PPBC score of 4 or 5 by week 12 responded to therapy. Women reporting a PPBC score of 1, 2, or 3 by week 12 did not respond to therapy.
Measured: 12 weeks
Secondary outcomes (4)
Change in Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q) Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL)
The Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q) Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) score is a measure of patients' bladder symptom severity. It ranges from 25 to 150 where higher scores indicate greater quality of life.
Measured: 12 weeks
Change in Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI)
The Urinary Distress Inventory is a 29-item questionnaire that asks patients to report how bothered they are by symptoms of urinary urgency on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 4 (quite a bit). The total score ranges from 0 to 300 where higher scores indicate worsening symptom severity.
Measured: 12 weeks
Change in Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory (POPDI) Score
The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory (POPDI) is a 16-item questionnaire that asks patients to report how bothered they are by symptoms of urinary urgency on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 4 (quite a bit). The total score ranges from 0 to 300 where higher scores indicate worsening symptom severity.
Measured: 12 weeks
Change in Colo-Rectal-Anal Distress Inventory (CRADI)
The Colo-Rectal-Anal Distress Inventory (CRADI) is a 17-item questionnaire that asks patients to report how bothered they are by symptoms of urinary urgency on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 4 (quite a bit). The total score ranges from 0 to 400 where higher scores indicate worsening symptom severity.
Measured: 12 weeks

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study is for women diagnosed with urinary urgency incontinence (UUI) or overactive bladder (OAB). Some patients continue to have symptoms even while taking medication for OAB. The purpose of this study is to estimate the number of women who respond to a medication called mirabegron and estimate change in symptom severity over 12 weeks of therapy. A secondary goal is to correlate the female urinary microbiome (FUM) with response to treatment and change in symptom severity over 12 weeks of therapy.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Mirabegron in people with Overactive Bladder, run by Loyola University at 1 site 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 8 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 13 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
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 13 Nov 2020). 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?
Response to Therapy (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT02495389, which also lists 24 linked publications.
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 13 Nov 2020.
