ABSTRACT: Introduction
MATCH was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolling Japanese and Korean men aged???40 years who still had overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms while receiving tamsulosin. After a 4-week single-blind screening period in which patients received placebo and tamsulosin, patients were randomized to mirabegron 50 mg?+?tamsulosin or placebo?+?tamsulosin for 12 weeks (n?=?568). This post hoc analysis investigated the proportion of treatment responders for each treatment group and for subgroups stratified by age based on voiding diaries and patient-reported outcomes (PROs).Methods
Responders were defined as those achieving normalization or clinically meaningful improvements in efficacy, or clinically important differences in PROs [??10-point improvement in OAB questionnaire (OAB-q) symptom bother or total health-related quality of life (HRQoL) subscales at end of treatment (EoT; minimally important difference [MID]) or OAB symptom score (OABSS) total score decreased by???3 points at EoT [minimally clinically important change (MCIC)]].Results
At EoT, micturition frequency normalization was achieved by 30.7% of tamsulosin?+?mirabegron patients and 18.6% of tamsulosin?+?placebo patients. Normalization of urgency and incontinence was 19.1% and 60.7% for tamsulosin?+?mirabegron and 18.2% and 60.0% for tamsulosin?+?placebo. Normalization of OAB symptoms based on OABSS was 17.1% for tamsulosin?+?mirabegron and 14.5% for tamsulosin?+?placebo. Higher proportions of patients in the mirabegron add-on group versus the placebo group reported clinically meaningful improvements in micturitions, urgency, and incontinence and in MCIC for OABSS and MID for the OAB-q subscales. Double- and triple-responder findings were as predicted by the results of single-responder analyses. These results were mirrored in the age groups using cut-offs of 65 and 75 years.Conclusion
Mirabegron therapy added on to tamsulosin resulted in a higher frequency of responders in terms of normalization (e.g., micturition frequency normalization), clinically meaningful improvements in efficacy (e.g.,???50% decrease in urgency), and minimally important changes in PROs (e.g., MCIC in OABSS).Trial registration
