As early as week 4 and through EOT, flexibly dosed solifenacin significantly improved OAB symptom bother and HRQL as well as the symptoms of urgency, frequency and incontinence compared with placebo. Significantly more solifenacin patients reported treatment benefit and satisfaction at week 12 compared with placebo.
In patients with severe OAB symptoms, solifenacin was effective and well tolerated. Solifenacin improved urgency, incontinence, micturition frequency, nocturia and nocturnal voids in patients continuing to experience urgency episodes on tolterodine ER 4 mg/day. Patients experienced improvements in HRQOL and perceived bother from OAB.
Patients with severe OAB symptoms showed objective and subjective improvements in symptoms, symptom bother, HRQL, and urgency severity with solifenacin similar to the FAS. Solifenacin was also well-tolerated in this subgroup.
