Solifenacin/Mirabegron Induces an Acute Compliance Increase in the Filling Phase of the Capacity-Reduced Urinary Bladder: A Pressure-Volume Analysis in Rats.

ABSTRACT: Aims: Pressure in the bladder, which is a high compliance organ, is only slightly elevated to a considerable filling volume during storage. Although cystometry off-line offers mean compliance, no protocol is available for real-time assays of the dynamics of bladder compliance, and the potential impact of solifenacin and mirabegron on dynamic bladder compliance has not been established. Methods: Along with constantly infused cystometry, a pressure-volume analysis (PVA) was performed by plotting intra-vesical volume against pressure in Sprague-Dawley rats. The instant compliance was assayed as the slope of the trajectory, and the mean compliance (Cm) was determined by the slope of the line produced by regression of the data points at the end of the first, second, and third quarters of the filling phase. Results: Under a steady-state, the PVA trajectory moved clockwise which shaped coincident enclosed loops with stable compliance. Though administering to naïve animals solifenacin, but not mirabegron (both 1 × 10^-5-1 × 10^-1 mg/kg, i.a.) decreased the peak pressure, both of these reagents exhibited acute increments in the trajectory slope and Cm of the filling phase in a dose-dependent manner (ED₅₀ = 1.4 × 10^-4 and 2.2 × 10^-5 mg/kg, respectively). Resembling urine frequency/urgency in OAB patients, the voiding frequency of a capacity-reduced bladder was increased in association with decreased compliance which was ameliorated by both acute solifenacin and mirabegron injections (both 1 × 10-1 mg/kg). Conclusion: In addition to their well-known anti-inotropic/relaxative effects, solifenacin, and mirabegron induce an acute increase in bladder compliance to ameliorate OAB-like syndromes. Together with time-domain cystometry, PVA offers a platform for investigating the physiology/pathophysiology/pharmacology of bladder compliance which is crucial for urine storage.

Project description:AIMS/OBJECTIVES:In the BESIDE study, combination therapy (antimuscarinic [solifenacin] and ?3 -adrenoceptor agonist [mirabegron]) improved efficacy over solifenacin monotherapy without exacerbating anticholinergic side effects in overactive bladder (OAB) patients; however, a potential synergistic effect on the cardiovascular (CV) system requires investigation. METHODS:OAB patients remaining incontinent despite daily solifenacin 5 mg during 4-week single-blind run-in, were randomised 1:1:1 to double-blind daily combination (solifenacin 5 mg/mirabegron 25 mg, increasing to 50 mg after week 4), solifenacin 5 or 10 mg for 12 weeks. CV safety assessments included frequency of CV-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), change from baseline in vital signs (systolic blood pressure [SBP], diastolic blood pressure [DBP], pulse rate) and electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters. RESULTS:The frequency of hypertension, tachycardia and ECG QT prolongation, respectively, was low and comparable across combination (1.1%, 0.3%, 0.1%), solifenacin 5 mg (0.7%, 0.1%, 0.1%), and solifenacin 10 mg groups (0.8%, 0%, 0.1%). Adjusted mean (SE) change from baseline to end of treatment (EoT) in SBP, DBP, and pulse rate with combination (0.07 mm Hg [0.38], -0.35 mm Hg [0.26], 0.47 bpm [0.28]), solifenacin 5 mg (-0.93 mm Hg [0.38], -0.45 mm Hg [0.26], 0.43 bpm [0.28]) and solifenacin 10 mg (-1.28 mm Hg [0.38], -0.48 mm Hg [0.26], 0.27 bpm [0.28]) was generally comparable, with the exception of a mean treatment difference of ~1 mm Hg in SBP between combination and solifenacin monotherapy; SBP was unchanged with combination and decreased with solifenacin monotherapy. Mean changes from baseline to EoT in ECG parameters were generally similar across treatment groups, except for QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula, which was higher with solifenacin 10 mg (3.30 mseconds) vs. combination (0.49 mseconds) and solifenacin 5 mg (0.77 mseconds). CONCLUSION:The comparable frequency of CV-related TEAEs, changes in vital signs and ECG parameters indicates no synergistic effect on CV safety outcomes when mirabegron and solifenacin are combined.
