Safety and tolerability of β3-adrenoceptor agonists in the treatment of overactive bladder syndrome - insight from transcriptosome and experimental s…
2016
We have reviewed the safety and tolerability of β3-adrenoceptor agonists, specifically mirabegron and solabegron, a newly emerging drug class for the treatment of the overactive bladder syndrome. We discuss them mechanistically in the context of expression and other preclinical data.Based on a systematic PubMed search, incidence of overall adverse events, hypertension, dry mouth, and constipation are comparable between mirabegron or solabegron and placebo. Hypertension is the most frequently observed adverse event, but has a similar incidence with mirabegron and placebo. Nevertheless, severe uncontrolled hypertension has become a contraindication for use of mirabegron based on observation o…

Where will the next generation of medical treatments for overactive bladder syndrome come from?
2020
This review article discusses the medical need for improved medical treatments of overactive bladder syndrome, and the hurdles and research required to address that need. Currently, few overactive bladder syndrome patients stay on long-term treatment, largely because efficacy expectations are not met, and tolerability is considered insufficient for the chronic treatment of a non-life-threatening condition. Therefore, a medical need exists for improved tolerability and, even more importantly, improved efficacy. It is unlikely that major improvements of efficacy and tolerability can be achieved within the currently approved drug classes. Work in experimental animals suggests that many causes …
Do overactive bladder symptoms and their treatment-associated changes exhibit a normal distribution? Implications for analysis and reporting
2020
Aims: To explore the use of means vs medians (assuming or not the presence of normal distribution) in studies reporting overactive bladder syndrome symptoms and to test for normal distribution of basal values and treatment-associated changes thereof in two large noninterventional studies. Methods: Systematic review of all original studies reporting on at least one overactive bladder syndrome symptom published in four leading urology journals in 2016 to 2017. Testing of the normal distribution of urgency, incontinence, frequency, and nocturia in two large noninterventional studies (n = 1335 and 745). Results: Among 48 eligible articles, 86% reported means (assuming a normal distribution), 6%…
