ABSTRACT: Objectives
To investigate the cardiovascular safety of mirabegron add-on treatment to tamsulosin in male patients with residual overactive bladder symptoms.Methods
This was a post hoc analysis of MATCH, the first double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing mirabegron and placebo as add-on therapy to tamsulosin for treatment of overactive bladder in men with lower urinary tract symptoms. The analysis focused on treatment-emergent adverse events relating to the cardiovascular system or blood pressure, and changes in vital signs during 12?weeks of follow-up.Results
Cardiovascular-related treatment-emergent adverse events were reported by 6/566 patients, although only one serious treatment-emergent adverse event was related to treatment (unstable angina in the tamsulosin?+?placebo group). Hypertension (two patients) and increased blood pressure (one patient) were reported in the tamsulosin?+?placebo group, but there were no blood pressure-related treatment-emergent adverse events among tamsulosin?+?mirabegron patients. There were no clinically meaningful changes from baseline in blood pressure, and changes in pulse rate were small (+1.2?bpm in the tamsulosin?+?mirabegron group). Increased pulse rate was more frequent with tamsulosin?+?mirabegron than with tamsulosin?+?placebo in older patients, although within the normal range.Conclusions
Cardiovascular-related adverse events were uncommon in both treatment groups. Mirabegron is a well-tolerated add-on therapy to tamsulosin in Japanese and Korean males with residual overactive bladder symptoms.
