Reported at least an average of 1 UUI episode per 24 hours in the 3-day bladder diary prior to the Randomization/Baseline visit (Visit 2); 4. Mean urinary frequency of ≥8 micturitions per 24 hours as verified by the 3-day bladder diary prior to Randomization/Baseline visit (Visit 2); 5. Able and willing to complete the bladder diaries and all trial related questionnaires and comply with scheduled clinic visits and clinical trial procedures; 6.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Any condition that would contraindicate their usage of fesoterodine including: hypersensitivity to the active substance (fesoterodine fumarate) or to peanut or soya or any of the excipients, urinary retention, gastric retention, uncontrolled narrow angle glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh C), severe ulcerative colitis, and toxic megacolon. 2. Clinically significant hepatic or renal disease, and/or with a screening test of AST, ALT, urea nitrogen, or creatinine greater than 1.5 times of the upper limit of normal (ULN). 3. Neurologic conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or Parkinson’s disease, which are known or suspected of influencing the subject’s bladder function. 4. Significant pelvic organ prolapse defined as tissue visible through introitus in lithotomy position at rest (without increase in intra abdominal pressure). 5. History of lower urinary tract/pelvic surgery (eg, surgery for incontinence, prolapse, or benign prostate hyperplasia, hysterectomy) within the past 6 months. 6. A known history of interstitial cystitis or a significant pain component associated with OAB symptoms, uninvestigated hematuria, urogenital cancer, interstitial or external radiation to the pelvis or external genitalia, or bladder outlet obstruction due to vesical neck contracture, clinical suspicion of prostate carcinoma, mullerian duct cysts, urethral obstruction due to stricture/valves/sclerosis or urethral tumor, radiation cystitis, genito-urinary tuberculosis, bladder calculi, or detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia. 7. Previous history of acute urinary retention requiring catheterization, or severe voiding difficulties in the judgment of the investigator, prior to baseline. 8. Use of an indwelling catheter or an intermittent self-catheterization program. 9. Symptoms of incontinence being predominately stress urinary incontinence as determined by the investigator. 10. Has polyuria (>3000mL/24h) or a voided volume >500mL for any micturition during the run-in period. 11. Urinary tract infection (UTI) as shown by the results of the urinalysis at Screening or recurrent urinary tract infection (RUTIs) defined as treatment for UTI >3 times in the last year. 12. Use of any electrostimulation, participation in a formal program of bladder training, or pelvic floor exercises under the supervision of a physician or other medical provider within 4 weeks of Visit 1. 13. Received study medication in any previous fesoterodine clinical trial. 14. Treated with the following drugs within 2 weeks prior to Visit 1: • Any drug treatment for overactive bladder, including antimuscarinic OAB medications; • Any drugs with significant anticholinergic and antispasmodic effects. 15. Has started treatment with tricyclic antidepressants or estrogens within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 and/or is not on a stable dose. 16. Has started treatment with diuretics or alpha blockers within 2 weeks prior to Visit 1 and/or is not on a stable dose. 17. Treatment with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as clarithromycin, ketoconazole, and itraconazole within 2 weeks prior to Visit 1. 18. Administration of medications capable of inducing hepatic enzyme metabolism or transport (eg, barbiturates, rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone, or St. John’s Wort) in the past 30 days. 19. Previously received any investigational drug within 30 days prior to trial entry. 20. Alcohol and/or any other drug abuse in the opinion of the investigator. 21. Female subjects who are pregnant, nursing, or with a positive urine pregnancy test or who are intending to become pregnant within 3 months after the completion of the trial. 22. Female subjects of childbearing potential who are heterosexually active but unwilling or unable to use an adequate form of contraception to prevent pregnancy during the study. Reliable contraceptive methods may include intrauterine devices (IUD), contraceptive pills of combination type, hormonal implants, injectable contraceptives or latex condoms with a spermicide. 23. Subjects who have any medical (including known history of major hematological, renal, cardiovascular, or hepatic abnormalities) or psychological condition or social circumstances that would impair their ability to participate reliably in the trial, or those who may increase the risk to themselves or others by participating. 24. Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are not likely to complete the trial for whatever reason. |
