E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare the efficacy, in terms of a reduction of urgency episodes, of 12-weeks flexible dose Fesoterodine relative to placebo in elderly subjects with OAB. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To compare the effect of 12-week, flexible dose regimens of Fesoterodine relative to placebo on other patient reported outcomes in elderly subjects with OAB. • To assess the safety and tolerability of 12-week, flexible dose regimens of Fesoterodine relative to placebo in elderly subjects with OAB. • To assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of an open label flexible dose regimen of Fesoterodine in elderly subjects with OAB for a further 12 weeks of treatment following the double blind placebo controlled phase. • To compare the efficacy and tolerability of morning versus evening dosing of Fesoterodine SR

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or female outpatients ≥65 years old. 2. Overactive bladder symptoms (subject-reported) for ≥3 months prior to Screening/Enrolment visit (Visit 1) according to ICS guidelines. 3. Mean urinary frequency of ≥8 micturitions per 24 hours as verified by the micturition diary prior to Randomization/Baseline visit (Visit 2). 4. Mean number of Urgency episodes ≥3 per 24 hours as verified by the screening micturition diary prior to Baseline/Visit 2 (Urgency episodes are defined as those with Bladder Sensation Scale rating ≥3). 5. Rate their bladder as causing “Some Moderate Problems”, “Severe Problems”, or “Many Severe Problems” on the Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC) questionnaire at Baseline/Visit 2. 6. Able and willing to complete the micturition diaries and all trial related questionnaires and comply with scheduled clinic visits and clinical trial procedures. 7. Mini-Mental State Examination Score of ≥20. 8. Capability of understanding and having signed the informed consent form after full discussion of the research nature of the treatment and its risk and benefits. 9. All women who are enrolled into this study must be post menopausal as assessed by the investigator.

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. Predominant Stress Incontinence. Stress urinary incontinence as determined/estimated by the investigator. 3. Stage 3 or greater pelvic organ prolapse defined as tissue visible through introitus in lithotomy position at rest (without increase in intra abdominal pressure). 4. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or bladder (TURB)) and other minor surgery (eg, cystoscopic procedures) performed within the past 6 months or history of any major lower urinary tract surgery (eg, incontinence surgery or radical prostatectomy) at any time. 5. 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, clinical suspicion of prostate carcinoma, known mullerian duct cysts, radiation cystitis, or genito-urinary tuberculosis. 6. Active bladder stones. Patients with a previous history of bladder stones may be included. 7. Previous history of acute urinary retention requiring catheterisation, clinically significant bladder outflow obstruction or severe voiding difficulties in the judgment of the investigator. 8. Use of an indwelling catheter or an intermittent self-catheterization program. 9. Active 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. Subjects with a UTI detected at screening may be treated (while remaining on study as part of an extended screening period) and retested 2 weeks after the subject has finished treatment. 10. Use of any electrostimulation, bladder training, or pelvic floor exercises (with certified incontinence practitioners) within 4 weeks of Visit 2. 11. Multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury. 12. Treatment with antimuscarinic OAB medication within 2 weeks prior to Visit 2, including any preparation containing: • darifenacin, oxybutynin, propiverine, tolterodine and trospium. 13. Treatment with solifenacin within 3 weeks prior to Visit 2. 14. Intermittent or unstable use of diuretics or alpha blockers, or initiation of such treatment(s) within 2 weeks prior to Visit 2. 15. Treatment with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as clarithromycin, ketoconazole, and itraconazole within 2 weeks prior to Visit 2. 16. Participated in any clinical trial or received any investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to Visit 2. 17. Has any current malignancy except: a. Those >5 years ago without recurrence. b. Excised basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of skin. 18. Other severe or acute medical condition (including newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus or newly diagnosed hypertension requiring treatment, or major hematological or cardiovascular conditions) or psychological condition or social circumstances that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, or may interfere with the interpretation of the study results or may impair ability to participate reliably in the trial, or may increase the risk to themselves or others as judged by the investigator. 19. Clinically significant hepatic disease and/or a screening test of AST, ALT, or GGT greater than 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN). 20. Clinically significant renal disease as assessed by the investigator and/or eGFR less than 45 mL/min. 21. Abuse of alcohol and/or any other drug in the opinion of the investigator. 22. Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are not likely to complete the trial for any reason.
