Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the safety of duloxetine with that of placebo in the treatment of SUI based on vital signs, laboratory values, and the occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). | — |
| To compare the efficacy of duloxetine with that of placebo as measured by the change in the disease-specific quality of life instrument (I QOL) scores from baseline to endpoint. | — |
