Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With the Indicated Type of Treatment-emergent Adverse Eventup to 56 weeksAdverse events were collected in participants with overactive bladder (OAB) who previously completed treatment in Study RVT-901-3003. The treatment-emergent period was defined as the period of time from the first dose date of the active double-blind study treatment, whether in Study RVT-901-3003 or Study RVT-901-3004, through 28 days after the last dose of study treatment, or the date of initiation of another investigational agent or surgical intervention, whichever occurred first.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline (CFB) at Week 52 in the Average Number of Micturitions Per 24 Hours in All Overactive Bladder (OAB) ParticipantsBaseline; Week 52A micturition/void is defined as Urinated in Toilet as indicated on the Patient Voiding Diary (PVD). The number of micturitions is defined as the number of times a participant voided in the toilet as indicated in the PVD. The average daily number of micturitions was calculated using the daily entries in the PVD (which was to be completed prior to each study visit) as the total number of micturitions that occurred on a Complete Diary Day (CDD) divided by the number of CDDs in the PVD. CFB was calculated as the post-BL value minus the BL value. Per 24 hours corresponds to one Diary Day (i.e., time between when the participant got up for the day each morning and time the participant got up for the day the next morning as recorded in the PVD). Covariates included in the mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) were study visit, treatment, treatment by study visit interaction, Baseline, and the statistically significant terms in Study RVT-901-3003: OAB type (Wet versus Dry) and sex.
CFB at Week 52 in the Average Number of Urge Urinary Incontinence (UUI) Episodes Per 24 Hours in OAB Wet ParticipantsBaseline; Week 52The number of UUI episodes is defined as the number of times a participant had checked urge as the main reason for the leakage in the PVD, regardless of whether more than one reason for leakage in addition to urge was checked. The average daily number of UUI episodes was calculated using the daily entries in the PVD (which was to be completed prior to each study visit) as the total number of UUI episodes that occurred on a CDD divided by the number of CDDs in the PVD. CFB was calculated as the post-BL value minus the BL value. Per 24 hours corresponds to one Diary Day (i.e., time between when participant got up for the day each morning and time participant got up for the day the next morning as recorded in the PVD). Covariates included in the MMRM were study visit, treatment, treatment by study visit interaction, Baseline, and the statistically significant terms in Study RVT-901-3003: sex. Only participants with evaluable data were analyzed.
CFB at Week 52 in the Average Number of Urgency Episodes (Need to Urinate Immediately) Over 24 Hours in All OAB ParticipantsBaseline; Week 52The number of urgency episodes is defined as the number of times a participant had checked need to urinate immediately on a CDD divided by the number of CDDs in the PVD. CFB is calculated as the post-BL value minus the BL value. Over 24 hours corresponds to one Diary Day (i.e., time between when the participant got up for the day each morning and time the participant got up for the day the next morning as recorded in the PVD). Covariates included in the MMRM were study visit, treatment, treatment by study visit interaction, Baseline, and the statistically significant terms in Study RVT-901-3003: OAB type (Wet versus Dry) and sex.
CFB at Week 52 in the Average Number of Total Urinary Incontinence Episodes Over 24 Hours in OAB Wet ParticipantsBaseline; Week 52The number of total incontinence episodes is defined as the number of times a participant had checked the accidental urine leakage box in the PVD, including for reasons of urge, stress, or other. CFB was calculated as the post-BL value minus the BL value. Over 24 hours corresponds to one Diary Day (i.e., time between when the participant got up for the day each morning and time the participant got up for the day the next morning as recorded in the PVD).

Number of Participants With the Indicated Type of Treatment-emergent Adverse Event

Adverse events were collected in participants with overactive bladder (OAB) who previously completed treatment in Study RVT-901-3003. The treatment-emergent period was defined as the period of time from the first dose date of the active double-blind study treatment, whether in Study RVT-901-3003 or Study RVT-901-3004, through 28 days after the last dose of study treatment, or the date of initiation of another investigational agent or surgical intervention, whichever occurred first.

Time frame: up to 56 weeks

Population: Safety Extension Set (SAF-Ext) Population: all participants who received at least 1 dose of double-blind study treatment. Participants were included in the treatment group corresponding to the study treatment they actually received. Adverse event datasets for Study RVT-901-3003 and Study RVT-901-3004 were combined for the safety analyses.

CFB at Week 52 in the Average Number of Total Urinary Incontinence Episodes Over 24 Hours in OAB Wet Participants

The number of total incontinence episodes is defined as the number of times a participant had checked the accidental urine leakage box in the PVD, including for reasons of urge, stress, or other. CFB was calculated as the post-BL value minus the BL value. Over 24 hours corresponds to one Diary Day (i.e., time between when the participant got up for the day each morning and time the participant got up for the day the next morning as recorded in the PVD). Covariates included in the MMRM were study visit, treatment, treatment by study visit interaction, Baseline, and the statistically significant terms in Study RVT-901-3003: sex. hr = hour.
