Efficacy and safety of mirabegron in children and adolescents with neurogenic detrusor overactivity: An open-label, phase 3, dose-titration study

Abstract

Aims: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mirabegron in children and adolescents (aged 3 to <18 years) with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) using clean intermittent catheterization. Methods: In this open-label, multicenter, baseline-controlled, Phase III study (NCT02751931), participants received once-daily mirabegron at an adult dose equivalent of 25 mg. Dose was increased to 50 mg equivalent unless there were safety/tolerability concerns. The primary efficacy endpoint was change from baseline to Week 24 in maximum cystometric capacity (MCC). Secondary urodynamic assessments, Pediatric Incontinence Questionnaire (PIN-Q), Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S), Clinician Global Impression of Change (CGI-C), and Acceptability questionnaires were included. Results: Overall, 86 participants (55 aged 3 to <12 years, 31 aged 12 to <18 years) received treatment; 68 were included in efficacy assessments. A statistically significant increase in MCC from baseline to Week 24 was observed (87.20 ml, 95% confidence interval: 66.07, 108.33; p
