A Study to Evaluate Once Daily Low Dose and High Dose Solabegron or Placebo Given for 12 Weeks to Treat Women With Symptoms of Overactive Bladder: Sudden Urge to Urinate, Frequent Urination Associated With Wetting Episodes (VEL-2001)

This is a Phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of solabegron modified release low dose or high dose tablets, compared to matched placebo, administered once daily for 12 weeks to adult female subjects with overactive bladder symptoms (frequency, urgency, and predominantly urgency incontinence) for at least 6 months.

  • prior cardiovascular events or procedures within 6 months of screening
  • congestive heart failure
  • abnormal ECG findings, including ECG QT correction interval (QTc) > 470 msec at the Screening Visit
  • systolic blood pressure ≥ 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg, or heart rate > 100 beats per minute
  • Abnormal tests of liver function
  • History of prior infection due to HIV or hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus
  • Allergy or hypersensitivity to solabegron or mirabegron
  • Women of childbearing potential: breastfeeding, pregnant, or actively trying to become pregnant
  • Participation in a trial of an investigational or marketed drug ≤ 30 days prior to the Screening Visit or in any clinical trial of an investigational drug that may affect urinary function within 3 months prior to Screening Visit.
  • Inability to read, understand, or complete study-related materials

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from Baseline in mean number of micturitions per 24 hours at Week 12

    Time frame: Micturtions will be assessed prior to randomization and at Week 12 (Visit 6).

    Micturition events will be recorded by subjects in an eDiary using a smartphone device during 3-day diary periods prior to randomization and at 12 weeks.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Urinary Incontinence (1)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Change from Baseline in mean number of urgency urinary incontinence episodes per 24 hours

  2. Urinary Incontinence (2)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Percentage change from Baseline in mean number of urgency urinary incontinence episodes per 24 hours

  3. Urinary Incontinence (3)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Proportion of subjects with no episodes of urgency urinary incontinence per 24 hours

  4. Urinary Incontinence (4)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Proportion of subjects with no episodes of urinary incontinence (urgency and non-urgency) per 24 hours

  5. Urinary Incontinence (5)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Change from Baseline in total urinary incontinence episodes (urgency and non-urgency) per 24 hours

  6. Micturitions (1)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4 and 8

    Change from Baseline in mean number of micturitions per 24 hours

  7. Micturitions (2)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Percentage change from Baseline in mean number of micturitions per 24 hours

  8. Micturitions (3)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Percentage of subjects with < 8 micturitions per 24 hours

  9. Micturitions (4)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Change from Baseline in mean number of nocturnal voids per 24 hours

  10. Urine Void Volume (1)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Change from Baseline in average void volume over 24 hours

  11. Urine Void Volume (2)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Percentage change from Baseline in average void volume over 24 hours

  12. Urine Void Volume (3)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Change from Baseline in maximum individual void volume over 24 hours

  13. Urine Void Volume (4)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Percentage change from Baseline in maximum individual void volume over 24 hours

  14. Urgency (1)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Proportion of subjects with urges with a mean grade of 3 of 4 per 24 hours

  15. Urgency (2)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Change from Baseline in mean urgency assessments per 24 hours associated with micturitions or incontinence

  16. Patient Reported Outcomes (1)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Patient Perception of Bladder Control. This patient-reported questionnaire assesses the patient's perception of current urinary problems, where higher score (on a scale of 1 to 6) indicates more severe problems.

  17. Patient Reported Outcomes (2)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Change from Baseline in Symptom Bother Score (Overactive Bladder Questionnaire [OAB-q] short form). The OAB-q short form is completed as a 4-week recall where a higher score (on a scale of 1 to 6) indicates greater symptoms.

  18. Patient Reported Outcomes (3)

    Time frame: Prior to Randomization (Baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12

    Change from Baseline in health-related quality of life (Overactive Bladder Questionnaire [OAB-q] short form). The OAB-q short form is completed as a 4-week recall where a higher score (on a scale of 1 to 6) indicates worse health-related quality of life.
