Mirabegron as Add-On Treatment to Solifenacin in Patients with Incontinent Overactive Bladder and an Inadequate Response to Solifenacin Monotherapy.

Purpose: We investigated improvements in overactive bladder and patient reported outcomes in patients with overactive bladder and refractory incontinence treated with mirabegron 50 mg plus solifenacin 5 mg vs solifenacin 5 or 10 mg.Materials and Methods: Patients with overactive bladder who were incontinent despite 4 weeks of single-blind daily solifenacin 5 mg were randomized 1:1:1 to a double-blind daily combination of mirabegron 50 mg/solifenacin 5 mg, or solifenacin 5 or 10 mg for 12 weeks. The mirabegron dose was increased from 25 to 50 mg after week 4. Symptom bother, health related quality of life and patient perception of bladder condition were assessed by OAB-q (Overactive Bladder Questionnaire) and the PPBC (Patient Perception of Bladder Condition) questionnaire, respectively. Responder rates were based on a 50% reduction in daily incontinence, zero incontinence episodes and fewer than 8 micturitions per 24 hours with minimal important differences in OAB-q and PPBC.Results: Overall 2,174 patient...
