Reduce the impact of overactive bladder (OAB) on your patients' lives

BOTOX®: Significant improvements for overactive bladder patients5,6*

reductions from baseline in UI episodes at Week 12 (BOTOX® 100U: n=557)5†

reductions from baseline in urgency episodes at Week 12 (BOTOX® 100U: n=557)5†

of OAB patients were completely dry at Week 12 (BOTOX® 100U: n=557)5†

Study context: Two double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, 24-week phase 3 clinical studies were conducted in 1105 patients with overactive bladder, with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency, whose symptoms had not been adequately managed with at least one anticholinergic therapy. To evaluate the impact of efficacy, safety and health-related quality of life of BOTOX® in patients with OAB with UI. Patients were randomised to receive either 100 U of BOTOX® (n=557) or placebo (n=548). The co-primary end points were the mean reduction in UI episodes per day and the proportion of patients reporting a positive response on the TBS at week 12. Secondary end points were the change from baseline in daily frequency of micturition episodes, urgency episodes and health related quality of life. Mean baseline for daily UI episodes: BOTOX® 100 U 5.49/day, placebo 5.39/day. Mean baseline for daily urgency episodes: BOTOX® 100mU 8.82/day, placebo 8.31/day.5

P<0.001 vs placebo.

Patients were randomised to receive either 100U of BOTOX® (n=557) or placebo (n=548).5 Co-primary end points were the change from baseline in the number of urinary incontinence episodes per day and the proportion of patients with a positive response on the TBS at post treatment week 12. Secondary end points were the change from baseline in daily frequency of micturition episodes, urgency episodes and health related quality of life.

Mean baseline score: BOTOX® 100U 5.49/day, placebo 5.39/day. p<0.001 vs. placebo

Secondary endpoint. Mean baseline score: Placebo = 8.31/dey: BOTOX® 100U = 8.82/day. p<0.001 vs placebo. Co-primary end points were the change from baseline in the number of urinary incontinence episodes per day and the proportion of patients with a positive response on the treatment benefit scale at post-treatment week 12.5

Secondary end points were the change from baseline in daily frequency of micturition episodes, urgency episodes and health related quality of life.5

BOTOX® in OAB: Treatment benefit sustained over time6

BOTOX® sustained reductions in daily episodees of UI and urgency from baseline, throughout the entire 3.5 year study period§6

Adapted from Nitti VW, et al. 20166

  • Approximately 52% of patients completed the entire 3.5 year study6
  • The most common reasons for discontinuation were related to study burden, personal reasons, loss to follow up and other non-treatment related reasons6
  • Only 5.7% discontinued due to lack of efficacy and 5.1% due to adverse events efficacy and 5.1% due to adverse events6

 

Study context: The final results of the prospective, multicentre, long-term (3.5 year) study of the efficacy/safety of BOTOX® for overactive bladder syndrome. The co-primary endpoints were the mean reduction in UI episodes per day and the proportion of patients reporting a positive response on the TBS, both at Week 12. In the overall population the most common AEs within the first 12 weeks of BOTOX® treatment were localised to the urinary tract. There was no evidence of increasing occurence of these AEs with repeat treatments, UTI was the most frequently reported AE.6

§n values denote the number of patients with data avalable at Week 12. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.


Overall median duration of effect was 7.6 months6

AE: adverse event; BL: baseline; OAB: overactive bladder; TBS: treatment benefit scale; UI: urinary incontinence; UTI: urinary tract infection.

*BOTOX® is indicated for the management of bladder dysfunctions in adult patients who are not adequately managed with anticholinergics: overactive bladder with symptoms of urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency.5
