Conditions

Urinary Bladder, Overactive, Urinary Incontinence

Brief summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of onabotulinumtoxinA 100 U (BOTOX®), compared to placebo, when injected into the bladder using an alternative injection paradigm in reducing the number of daily urinary incontinence episodes in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence whose symptoms have not been adequately managed with an anticholinergic.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALonabotulinumtoxinA

OnabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®) injection into the bladder.

DRUGPlacebo (saline)
