Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Total International Prostate Symptom Score The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a validated global questionnaire to assess the degree of urinary symptoms, based on answers to 7 questions concerning urinary symptoms:
Incomplete emptying of the bladder
Intermittency
Weak stream
Hesitancy
Frequency
Urgency
Nocturia
Each question is assigned points from 0 to 5 indicating increasing severity of the symptom. Total score can range from 0 to 35 (mildly symptomatic to severely symptomatic).
Baseline and Week 12 No
Primary Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Total Urgency Frequency Score (TUFS, Previously Known as Total Urgency Score [TUS]) The Patient Perception of the Intensity of Urgency Scale (PPIUS) is a validated scale completed as part of the micturition diary. For each micturition and/or incontinence episode, the participant rated the degree of associated urgency according to the following 5-point categorical scale:
0. No urgency;
1. Mild urgency;
2. Moderate urgency;
3. Severe urgency;
4. Urgency incontinence
TUFS was calculated as the sum of the PPIUS gradings from the 3-day diary divided by the number of days on which urgency grading was recorded. Higher scores indicate more severe urgency.
Baseline and Week 12 No
Secondary Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Micturitions Per 24 Hours A micturition is any voluntary urination, excluding episodes of incontinence only.The mean number of micturitions per 24 hours was calculated from data recorded by the participant in the micturition diary for the 3 days preceding each clinic visit. Baseline and Week 12 No
Secondary Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Voided Volume Per Micturition A micturition is any voluntary urination, excluding episodes of incontinence only. The mean volume voided per micturition was calculated from data recorded by the participant in the micturition diary for the 3 days preceding each clinic visit. Baseline and Week 12 No
Secondary Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Maximum Volume Voided Per Micturition A micturition is any voluntary urination, excluding episodes of incontinence only. The maximum volume voided per micturition was calculated from data recorded by the participant in the micturition diary for the 3 days preceding each clinic visit. Baseline and Week 12 No
Secondary Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Urgency Episodes (PPIUS Grade 3 or 4) Per 24 Hours An urgency episode is defined as an episode of strong desire to void accompanied by fear of leakage or pain. The mean number of urgency episodes with PPIUS grade 3 (Severe urgency) or 4 (Urgency incontinence) per 24 hours was calculated from data recorded by the participant in the micturition diary for the 3 days preceding each clinic visit. Baseline and Week 12 No
Secondary Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Urgency Incontinence Episodes Per 24 Hours An urgency incontinence episode is defined as an episode with any involuntary leakage of urine accompanied by or immediately preceded by urgency.

Baseline and Week 12 No
Secondary Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Incontinence Episodes Per 24 Hours An incontinence episode is defined as an episode with any involuntary loss of urine.

Secondary Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Nocturia Episodes Per 24 Hours A nocturia episode is defined as waking up at night to void (i.e., any voiding associated with sleep disturbance between the time the participant goes to bed with the intention to sleep until the time the patient gets up in the morning with the intention to stay awake). The mean number of nocturia episodes per 24 hours was calculated from data recorded by the participant in the micturition diary for the 3 days preceding each clinic visit. Baseline and Week 12 No
Secondary Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Mean Number of Pads Used Per 24 Hours The mean number of pads per 24 hours was calculated from data recorded by the participant in the micturition diary for the 3 days preceding each clinic visit. Baseline and Week 12 No
