A Registry Study of Patients Initiating a Course of Drug Therapy for Overactive Bladder in Taiwan, Korea and China

Overview

The purpose of this study is to observe and describe treatment patterns, like Overactive Bladder (OAB) treatment discontinuation, switching to other therapies and persistence of OAB therapies in routine clinical practice. This study will also evaluate effectiveness of OAB therapies in routine clinical practice; identify factors associated with effectiveness and persistence of pharmacologic therapies in OAB participants; evaluate the Quality of Life (QoL) and treatment satisfaction of OAB therapies; as well as evaluate health care resource utilization (HCRU) and understand adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with OAB therapies.

    • Participants will commence the OAB treatment with mirabegron that is prescribed by a physician in routine clinical practice.
  • Antimuscarinics
    • Participants will commence the OAB treatment with one of the following antimuscarinics: solifenacin, darifenacin, imidafenacin, tolterodine, oxybutynin, trospium, fesoterodine or propiverine. The antimuscarinic is prescribed by a physician in routine clinical practice.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Time from treatment initiation to discontinuation of Overactive Bladder (OAB) therapy
    • Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks
    • Discontinuation will include participants who discontinue mirabegron or antimuscarinics for more than 30 days (defined as the day after the last day of the prior supply to the next dispensing date).
  • Time from treatment initiation to switching to another OAB therapy or dose
    • Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks
    • Switching will be defined as a subset of initial mirabegron or antimuscarinics discontinuers who initiated another/different therapy(ies) within the follow-up period or within 30 days of being prescribed the first treatment. Change of treatment to another formulation of the same drug type under the same dosage will not be considered as switching.
  • Proportion of participants who discontinue OAB treatment
    • Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks
    • Discontinuation will include participants who discontinue mirabegron or antimuscarinics for more than 30 days (defined as the day after the last day of the prior supply to the next dispensing date).
  • Proportion of participants who switch to another treatment or dose
    • Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks
    • Switching will be defined as a subset of initial mirabegron or antimuscarinics discontinuers who initiated another/different therapy(ies) within the follow-up period or within 30 days of being prescribed the first treatment. Change of treatment to another formulation of the same drug type under the same dosage will not be considered as switching.

Secondary Measures

  • Change from baseline in Overactive Bladder Questionnaire-Short Form (OAB-Q-SF) score
    • Time Frame: Baseline, weeks 10-14 and weeks 22-26
    • Overactive Bladder Questionnaire-Short Form (OAB-Q-SF) is a participant-reported instrument consisting of 19 items that assess the degree to which a participant is bothered by OAB symptoms, and the degree of impact of OAB symptoms on daily life. Participants rate each item using a 6-point Likert Scale ranging from “Not at all” to “A very great deal” for the symptom bother items and “none of the time” to “All of the time” for the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) items.
  • Change from baseline in Bladder Assessment Tool (BAT) score
    • Time Frame: Baseline, weeks 10-14 and weeks 22-26
    • Bladder Assessment Tool (BAT) is a participant-reported instrument consisting of 17 questions regarding the symptoms, bothering, impacts and treatment satisfaction in the past 7 days. Scores range from 0 to 88, a reduction in BAT score indicates an improvement.
  • Change from baseline in Overactive Bladder Symptom Scores (OABSS) score
    • Time Frame: Baseline, weeks 10-14 and weeks 22-26
    • Overactive Bladder Symptom Scores (OABSS) is a participant-reported instrument consisting of 4 questions regarding daytime frequency, nocturia, urgency, and urgency incontinence; evaluates relevant symptoms from the participant’s viewpoint. Scores range from 0 to 15 with a lower score indicating a mild presentation of overactive bladder syndrome and a higher score indicating moderate to severe presentation of overactive bladder syndrome.
  • Change from baseline in Treatment Satisfaction-Visual Analog Scale (TS-VAS) score
    • Time Frame: Baseline, weeks 10-14 and weeks 22-26
    • Treatment Satisfaction-Visual Analog Scale (TS-VAS) is a quantitative instrument assessing participant improvement in participants with OAB. A score of 10 on the TS-VAS indicates complete satisfaction, whereas a positive change from baseline indicates improvement.
  • Identify factors associated with the effectiveness and persistence of a pharmacologic therapy for an OAB participant: Demographic Information
    • Time Frame: Baseline (up to Day 0)
    • Demographic information will be collected from participants for analysis.
  • Identify factors associated with the effectiveness and persistence of a pharmacologic therapy for an OAB participant: OAB Medical History
    • Time Frame: Baseline (up to Day 0)
    • OAB medical history will be collected from participants for analysis.
  • Identify factors associated with the effectiveness and persistence of a pharmacologic therapy for an OAB participant: History of prior drug treatment for OAB
    • Time Frame: Baseline (up to Day 0)
    • History of prior drug treatment for OAB will be collected from participants for analysis.
  • Identify factors associated with the effectiveness and persistence of a pharmacologic therapy for an OAB participant: Medical history
    • Time Frame: Baseline (up to Day 0)
    • Medical history will be collected from participants for analysis.
  • Identify factors associated with the effectiveness and persistence of a pharmacologic therapy for an OAB participant: Concomitant medication information
    • Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks
    • Concomitant medication will be collected from participants for analysis.
  • Identify factors associated with the effectiveness and persistence of a pharmacologic therapy for an OAB participant: Concomitant medical conditions
    • Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks
    • Participants medical history will be collected from participants for analysis.
  • Health Care Resource Utilization (HCRU) related to the management of OAB
    • Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks
    • Participant information will be collected by the investigator or designee via the Healthcare Resource Utilization (HCRU) Worksheet at each visit and the data will be retrieved electronically via the electronic case report form (eCRF). The HCRU worksheet consists of 7 questions related to the participants history and treatment of OAB.
  • Safety assessed by Adverse Events (AEs)
    • Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks
    • An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study patient administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a product, whether or not considered related to the product. Pre-existing conditions that worsen during a study are to be reported as AEs.
  • Safety assessed by Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
    • Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks
    • Adverse event (AE) is considered “serious” if the investigator or sponsor view any of the following outcomes: Death, life-threatening, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect, hospitalization, or medically important event.
  • Safety assessed by Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR)
    • Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks
    • An ADR is defined as any noxious and unintended response associated with the use of a drug in humans, at any dose, where a causal relationship (drug-event) is at least a reasonable possibility.
