OnabotulinumtoxinA 100 U significantly improves all idiopathic overactive bladder symptoms and quality of life in patients with overactive bladder and urinary incontinence: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Overactive bladder ( OAB ) syndrome with urinary incontinence ( UI ) is prevalent in the population and impairs health-related quality of life ( HRQOL ) . OBJECTIVE To assess the impact on efficacy , safety , and HRQOL of onabotulinumtoxinA ( BOTOX ( ® ) , Allergan , Inc. ) treatment in patients with OAB with UI . DESIGN , SETTING , AND PARTICIPANTS This pivotal , multicentre , double-blind , r and omised , placebo-controlled , phase 3 study enrolled patients with idiopathic OAB with ≥ 3 urgency UI episodes over 3 d and ≥ 8 micturitions per day who were inadequately managed by anticholinergics . INTERVENTION OnabotulinumtoxinA at a 100U dose ( n=277 ) or placebo ( n=271 ) , administered as 20 intradetrusor injections of 0.5 ml . OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Co- primary end points were change from baseline in the number of UI episodes per day and proportion of patients reporting positive treatment response on the treatment benefit scale ( TBS ) at week 12 . Additional end points included other OAB symptoms ( episodes of urinary urgency incontinence , micturition , urgency , and nocturia ) and HRQOL ( Incontinence Quality of Life [ I-QOL ] , King 's Health Question naire [ KHQ ] ) . Safety assessment s included adverse events ( AEs ) , postvoid residual ( PVR ) urine volume , and initiation of clean intermittent catheterisation ( CIC ) . RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS OnabotulinumtoxinA significantly decreased UI episodes per day at week 12 ( -2.95 for onabotulinumtoxinA versus -1.03 for placebo ; p<0.001 ) . Reductions from baseline in all other OAB symptoms were also significantly greater following onabotulinumtoxinA compared with placebo ( p ≤ 0.01 ) . Patients perceived a significant improvement in their condition , as measured by patients with a positive treatment response on the TBS ( 62.8 % for onabotulinumtoxinA versus 26.8 % for placebo ; p<0.001 ) . Clinical ly meaningful improvements from baseline in all I-QOL and KHQ multi-item domains ( p<0.001 versus placebo ) indicated positive impact on HRQOL . AEs were mainly localised to the urinary tract . Mean PVR was higher in the onabotulinumtoxinA group ( 46.9 ml versus 10.1 ml at week 2 ; p<0.001 ) ; 6.9 % of onabotulinumtoxinA patients versus 0.7 % of placebo patients initiated CIC . CONCLUSIONS OnabotulinumtoxinA 100 U was well tolerated and demonstrated significant and clinical ly relevant improvements in all OAB symptoms , patient-reported benefit , and HRQOL in patients inadequately managed by anticholinergics .
