Overactive Bladder | Drug: Solabegron modified release tablets, low dose Drug: Solabegron modified release tablets, high dose Drug: Matching Placebo | Phase 2 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 1413 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | This is a Phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. Eligible female subjects (N=1200) with symptoms of overactive bladder for at least 6 months will enter a 14-day single-blind Run-in Period. Subjects (N=375) who meet prespecified criteria based on data entered into an electronic diary over 3 days will be randomized 1:1:1 (125 subjects per arm) to receive solabegron modified release tablets, low dose or high dose, or matching placebo. |

- Change from Baseline in mean number of micturitions per 24 hours at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Micturtions will be assessed prior to randomization and at Week 12 (Visit 6). ]Micturition events will be recorded by subjects in an eDiary using a smartphone device during 3-day diary periods prior to randomization and at 12 weeks.
- Urinary Incontinence (1) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Change from Baseline in mean number of urgency urinary incontinence episodes per 24 hours
- Urinary Incontinence (2) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Percentage change from Baseline in mean number of urgency urinary incontinence episodes per 24 hours
- Urinary Incontinence (3) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Proportion of subjects with no episodes of urgency urinary incontinence per 24 hours
- Urinary Incontinence (4) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Proportion of subjects with no episodes of urinary incontinence (urgency and non-urgency) per 24 hours
- Urinary Incontinence (5) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Change from Baseline in total urinary incontinence episodes (urgency and non-urgency) per 24 hours
- Micturitions (1) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4 and 8 ]Change from Baseline in mean number of micturitions per 24 hours
- Micturitions (2) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Percentage change from Baseline in mean number of micturitions per 24 hours
- Micturitions (3) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Percentage of subjects with < 8 micturitions per 24 hours
- Micturitions (4) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Change from Baseline in mean number of nocturnal voids per 24 hours
- Urine Void Volume (1) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Change from Baseline in average void volume over 24 hours
- Urine Void Volume (2) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Percentage change from Baseline in average void volume over 24 hours
- Urine Void Volume (3) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Change from Baseline in maximum individual void volume over 24 hours
- Urine Void Volume (4) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Percentage change from Baseline in maximum individual void volume over 24 hours
- Urgency (1) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Proportion of subjects with urges with a mean grade of 3 of 4 per 24 hours
- Urgency (2) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Change from Baseline in mean urgency assessments per 24 hours associated with micturitions or incontinence
- Patient Reported Outcomes (1) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Patient Perception of Bladder Control. This patient-reported questionnaire assesses the patient's perception of current urinary problems, where higher score (on a scale of 1 to 6) indicates more severe problems.
- Patient Reported Outcomes (2) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Change from Baseline in Symptom Bother Score (Overactive Bladder Questionnaire [OAB-q] short form). The OAB-q short form is completed as a 4-week recall where a higher score (on a scale of 1 to 6) indicates greater symptoms.
- Patient Reported Outcomes (3) [ Time Frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 ]Change from Baseline in health-related quality of life (Overactive Bladder Questionnaire [OAB-q] short form). The OAB-q short form is completed as a 4-week recall where a higher score (on a scale of 1 to 6) indicates worse health-related quality of life.
