Study Description

Brief Summary

Urinary incontinence is a prevalent condition that markedly impacts quality of life and disproportionately affects women. Overactive Bladder syndrome (OAB) is defined as symptoms of urgency and frequency with urge urinary incontinence (OAB-wet) and without urge incontinence (OAB-dry). Conservative first line treatments for urge incontinence combined with other OAB symptoms (OAB-wet) include behavioral therapy, pelvic floor training +/- biofeedback, or the use of anticholinergic medications. These treatment modalities may not result in total continence and often drug therapy is discontinued because of lack of efficacy, side effects and cost or because of not wanting to take a pill. Behavioral therapy and pelvic muscle exercises require consistent, active intervention by the patient which is often not sustained. Thus, the objective of the Anticholinergic vs Botox Comparison Study (ABC) is to determine whether a single intra-detrusor injection of botulinum toxin A (Botox A®) is more effective than a standardized regimen of oral anticholinergics in reducing urge urinary incontinence. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the change from baseline in average number of urge urinary incontinence episodes over 6 months between groups.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Botulinum toxin A (Botox A®)
  • Drug: Solifenacin 5mg
  • Drug: Solifenacin 10mg
  • Drug: Trospium chloride
Phase 3

Detailed Description

This study is a 6-month double-blind randomized trial comparing intra-detrusor botulinum toxin A (Botox A®) and anticholinergic therapy in women without neurologic disease with urge incontinence. Subjects will be followed up to an additional six months off study drug to determine duration of treatment effect.

The primary aim is to compare the change in urge incontinence episodes over 6 months between women receiving a single intra-detrusor injection of 100 unit of botulinum toxin A (Botox A®) plus daily oral placebo tablets versus women receiving a single intra-detrusor injection of saline plus daily anticholinergic therapy.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Botox A

A single intradetrusor injection of 100U botulinum toxin A (Botox A®) plus daily oral placebo tablets

Drug: Botulinum toxin A (Botox A®)
A single intradetrusor injection of 100U botulinum toxin A in 10 mL plus 0.1 mL of indigo carmine administered during cytoscopy. Between 100 and 200ml of saline is instilled into the bladder prior to injection to allow adequate visualization of the entire bladder urothelium. The treating physician will inject a total of 10.1 mL of the masked substance into approximately 15 to 20 different detrusor muscle sites under direct visualization using disposable needles. Injections will be spread out to equally cover the posterior bladder wall and dome, but spare the bladder trigone and ureteral orifices.
Other Names:
  • (Botox A®)
  • Active Comparator: Standardized Anticholinergic Regimen

    A standardized 3-step anticholinergic regimen of daily oral solifenacin 5mg, solifenacin 10mg, and/or trospium chloride XR 60mg, as well as a single intradetrusor injection of saline (placebo). All subjects will begin on solifenacin 5 mg for 2 mo. If a subject's symptoms are not adequately controlled at 2 mo, she will be escalated to solifenacin 10mg, and similarly at 4 mo to trospium XR 60mg. If a subject's symptoms are adequately controlled on solifenacin 5 mg, she may continue that study medication for the entirety of the study (6 mo). Additionally, if a subject is dose-escalated to solifenacin 10mg at study mo 2 or 4, and her symptoms are adequately controlled, she may continue the solifenacin 10mg dose for the remainder of the study.

    Drug: Solifenacin 5mg
    Oral Solifenacin 5mg once a day for up to 6 months

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in Urge Urinary Incontinence (UUI) Episodes [Baseline through 6 months]

      Change from baseline in mean number of UUI episodes over 6 month double-blind period.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Score on OABq-SF [Baseline through 6 months]

      Values for the Overactive Bladder Questionnaire Short Form (OABq-SF) are changes from baseline in the adjusted mean scores for months 1 to 6. Scores on the OABq-SF range from 0 to 100, with higher scores on the symptom-severity scale indicating greater severity of symptoms and higher scores on the quality-of-life scale indicating better quality of life. Data were available for 123 participants in the Standardized Anticholinergic Regimen group and 119 in the Botox A A group.

    2. Efficacy [6 months]

      Efficacy outcomes assessed reduction and resolution of incontinence, including urgency urinary incontinence (UUI).

    3. Change in PFDI-SF and PFIQ-SF Total Scores [Baseline through 6 months]

      Values for Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Short Form (PFDI-SF) are changes from baseline in the adjusted mean scores for months 3 to 6. Scores on the PFDI-SF range from 0 to 300, with higher scores indicating more symptoms and more bothersome symptoms. Values for the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire Short Form (PFIQ-SF) are changes from baseline in the adjusted mean scores for months 3 to 6. Scores on the PFIQ-SF range from 0 to 300, with higher scores indicating a more negative effect on activities, relationships, and feelings.

    4. Patient Global Impression of Improvement [3 and 6 months]

      The Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) is a patient-reported measure of perceived improvement with treatment, as assessed on a scale of 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse). Included here are participants who had adequate improvement, defined as a rating of 1 or 2 (much better).

    Description Efficacy outcomes assessed reduction and resolution of incontinence, including urgency urinary incontinence (UUI).
    Time Frame 6 months

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Efficacy outcomes were assessed in the modified intention-to-treat population, which included all participants who underwent randomization and received a study medication and who had a baseline measure and at least one follow-up measure for the outcome. Proportions were based on data from participants who returned at least four follow-up diaries.
    Arm/Group Title Botox A Standardized Anticholinergic Regimen
    Arm/Group Description A single intradetrusor injection of 100U botulinum toxin A (Botox A®) plus daily oral placebo tablets Botulinum toxin A (Botox A®): A single intradetrusor injection of 100U botulinum toxin A in 10 mL plus 0.1 mL of indigo carmine administered during cytoscopy. Between 100 and 200ml of saline is instilled into the bladder prior to injection to allow adequate visualization of the entire bladder urothelium. The treating physician will inject a total of 10.1 mL of the masked substance into approximately 15 to 20 different detrusor muscle sites under direct visualization using disposable needles. Injections will be spread out to equally cover the posterior bladder wall and dome, but spare the bladder trigone and ureteral orifices.

    Title Change in PFDI-SF and PFIQ-SF Total Scores
    Description Values for Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Short Form (PFDI-SF) are changes from baseline in the adjusted mean scores for months 3 to 6. Scores on the PFDI-SF range from 0 to 300, with higher scores indicating more symptoms and more bothersome symptoms. Values for the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire Short Form (PFIQ-SF) are changes from baseline in the adjusted mean scores for months 3 to 6. Scores on the PFIQ-SF range from 0 to 300, with higher scores indicating a more negative effect on activities, relationships, and feelings.
    Time Frame Baseline through 6 months
