`Systematic review
`
`Context: Antimuscarinic agents are currently the first-line pharmacotherapy for overactive
`bladder-
`Objectives: A systematic review published in 2005 was updated, including data on a newly
`licensed antimuscarinic (fesoterodine). The primary aim of this study was to systematically
`review evidence on the efficacy of licensed administration of antimuscarinic treatments in
`overactive bladder from randomised controlled trials. Secondary aims were to review
`evidence on tolerability and safety and healtlrrelated quality of life (HRQL).
`Evidence acquisition: All relevant data sources from randomised controlled trials were
`searched, and two independent reviewers considered publications for inclusion and
`extracted relevant data. Meta—ana1ysis was used to pool efficacy, tolerability, safety, and
`HRQL outcomes by treatment. Efficacy was measured by continent days, mean voided
`volume, urgency episodes, and micturition frequency. Tolerability and safety were mea-
`sured by means of adverse event and withdrawal rates. HRQL was measured by various
`instruments.
`Evidence synthesis: Ari additional 1118 references were retrieved with data on 83 studies
`extracted. Antimuscarinics were found to be more effective than placebo. Tolerability was
`good; few of the antimuscarinics were found to have significantly higher withdrawal rates in
`comparison to placebo. No serious adverse event for any product was statistically significant
`compared to placebo. Dry mouth (mild, moderate, severe) was the most commonly reported
`adverse event (29.6% on treatment vs 7.9% on placebo), followed by pruritus (15.4% on
`treatment vs 5.2% on placebo). Improvements were seen in HRQL with treatment by
`darifenacin, fesoterodine, oxybutyniri transdermal delivery system, propiverine extended
`release (ER), solifenacin, tolterodine ER and immediate release, and trospium. Limitations of
`the study include restrictions on the types of patients typically included in overactive
`bladder trials and topics that have not been adequately addressed in the current antimus-
`carinic literature.
`Conclusions: Antimuscarinics are efficacious, safe, and well-tolerated treatments that
`improve HRQL. Profiles of each drug and dosage differ and should be considered in making
`treatment choices.

`
`Introduction
`
`Overactive bladder (OAB) refers to the common and
`bothersome group of storage lower urinary tract
`symptoms (LUTS). The International Continence
`Society (ICS) defines OAB syndrome as urgency with
`or without urge urinary incontinence (UUI), usually
`with frequency and nocturia [1]. Prevalence rates for
`OAB are estimated to be approximately 12% in North
`America and Europe [2]. Both men and women are
`equally affected by OAB, and the incidence rate
`increases with age [2]. This condition has a serious
`impact on individuals as well as on society as a
`whole [3,4]; to illustrate, the annual cost of OAB has
`been estimated as to be as high as €3.98 billion in
`Germany alone [5]. OAB can be managed with
`bladder and behavioural
`training, biofeedback,
`electrical stimulation, pharmacologic treatments,
`or with a combination of therapies [6]. Antimus—
`carinic agents are the first—line pharmacotherapy for
`OAB treatment [7].
`A systematic review of the tolerability, safety, and
`efficacy of licensed antimuscarinic treatments in
`OAB was published in October 2005 [8]. This review
`represented an update to that published in 2003 by
`Herbison et al
`[9]. Since then,
`there have been
`considerable changes to the evidence base. A large
`number of new trials with existing agents have been
`published, particularly for solifenacin and darifena—
`cin. Some of these new trials are head-to-head trials,
`
`an area identified as a research priority in the 2005
`review. Additionally,
`there are data on a newly
`developed antimuscarinic, fesoterodine [10]. Peso-
`terodine is rapidly and extensively hydrolyzed by
`nonspecific ubiquitous esterases to S—hydroxy—
`methyl
`tolterodine (5—HMT), which is also the
`active metabolite of tolterodine and is responsible
`for all of the antimuscarinic activity of fesoterodine
`[11—13]. Fesoterodine has two active doses, 4 and
`8 mg [14,15], and clinical studies have shown
`that plasma concentrations are close proportional
`[16].
`This meta-analysis was conducted to update the
`2005 data. The primary aim of this study was to
`review all of the evidence on the efficacy of licensed
`antimuscarinic therapy for OAB available from
`randomised controlled trials. The efficacy outcomes
`of interest were the changes in the number of
`micturitions, urgency and incontinence episodes
`per day, volume voided per micturition, and both the
`proportion of patients returning to continence or
`undergoing global improvements in their storage
`LUTS. Secondary aims were to review evidence on
`tolerability, safety, and effects of treatment on
`health-related quality of life (HRQL).
`

`
`Methods
`
`2.1.
`
`Publication searches
`
`The review undertook a comprehensive search of all major
`literature databases and the abstractbooks from several major
`conferences: American Urological Association, ICS, European
`Association of Urology, International Urogynaecological Asso-
`ciation,
`International Consultation of
`Incontinence, and
`Societe Internationale d’Urologie. As with the 2005 review,
`there were no restrictions on the inclusion of publications by
`language; publications in languages other than English were
`translated into English.
`The literature database search for the previous 2005 review
`was carried out on August 31, 2004, for publications published
`since 1966 in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Controlled
`Trials Register, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied
`Health Literature databases. The literature database search for
`
`this review was carried out on October 18, 2007, and included
`all publications published in 2004- or later in the same
`databases. Conference proceedings had previously been
`searched to the end of 2004. For the review update, we added
`evidence from further proceedings of each conference up to
`October 2007. The overlap in date ranges for the searches led to
`duplication in retrieved publications but was designed to
`ensure that no evidence was missed.
`
`2.2.
`
`Study procedures
`
`The same rigorous processes were followed in this review as
`in the last. This review was conducted and reported according
`to QUORUM guidelines [17]. A team of reviewers indepen-
`dently determined the eligibility of each publication by
`applying a set of criteria (Table 1). Two different reviewers
`considered each publication,
`and discrepancies were
`resolved through discussion. Cited references from included
`trials and reviews of similar trials were also searched. Many
`studies were reported in more than one publication, and all
`studies that met the inclusion criteria were included in the
`
`review. However, only one extraction dataset per study was
`compiled from all publications relating to that study, so as to
`avoid the error of double-counting patients in subsequent
`analyses. Two independent reviewers extracted study char-
`acteristics and placed the baseline and outcomes data,
`including publications in parallel, into a Microsoft Access
`database (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA). The
`methodological quality of publications was assessed as
`previously reported [8]. A third reviewer checked the resulting
`extractions and resolved any discrepancies. Safety and
`tolerability outcome data were extracted from all studies;
`efficacy outcome data were extracted only from studies
`reporting that patients and investigators had been blinded to
`treatment allocation. Table 2 provides a list of outcomes
`extracted.

`
`through various formulations at various doses and frequen-
`cies. Data from arms of studies in which drug doses
`delivered to patients fell outside the European licensed
`range were not extracted (Table 1). Treatments were
`stratified according to whether the drug formulation was
`immediate release (IR), for which administration was oral
`and the dose frequency was generally more than once per
`day, or extended release (ER), for which administration was
`oral and the dose frequency was generally once per day. The
`only exception was in the case of oxybutynin administered
`via a transdermal system (TDS) patch_ freatments were
`stratified into categories according to the total daily dose at
`the start of the study and whether the study allowed flexible
`dosing.
`
`2.3.
`
`Statistical analysis
`
`Meta—ana1ysis was conducted where possible to pool results
`for each outcome of interest and for each combination of
`
`treatment by daily close category and formulation using the
`meta-analysis command METAN written for Stata v.9 (Stats-
`Corp LP. College Station, TX, USA) [18]. Dichotomous outcomes
`were summarised as risk ratios (RR) using the Mantel-
`Haenszel method; continuous outcomes were summarised
`as nonstandardised (aiso known as weighted) mean differ-
`ences using inverse variance weighting. Fixed rather than
`random effects models were used because the stratification
`
`was judged to largely remove the likelihood of substantial
`clinical or statistical heterogeneity [19].
`
`As with the previous review, trials with more than two
`treatment arms were analysed as if they were conducted as
`trials of each paired treatment comparison. For simplicity,
`consistency with the previous review [8] and consistency
`between trials, analyses of such trials were not adjusted for
`multiple comparisons (using Bonferonni correction methods
`or similar).

`
`Results
`
`3.1.
`
`Trial flow
`
`This review retrieved 1118 references in addition to
`
`the 11 663 retrieved for the 2005 review. Of the newly
`retrieved references, 88 publications were included
`to add to the 123 included from the previous review
`for a total of 211 publications. There were on average
`2.5 publications per included trial,
`from these
`publications, data on 83 trials were extracted
`(Appendix A). Ten trials included for this review
`were excluded from this meta-analysis; eight were
`excluded because they contained no data relevant or
`suitable for meta-analysis [20—27}; one was excluded
`because the treatment dosing was mixed or unclear
`[28]; and one was excluded because randomisation
`was unclear [29]. Fig. 1 is a diagram of the study
`flow, showing the relationship between studies

`3.1.1.
`
`Trial characteristics
`
`Summaries of the patient and study design char-
`acteristics of the included trials are presented in
`Table 3. Twenty—four
`trials were published in
`abstract format only, and 59 trials were published
`as full publications. Forty-six trials
`(55%) had
`placebo arms. There was at least one placebo-
`controlled trial for all of the included antimuscarinic
`
`formulations, apart from the oxybutynin ER for-
`mulation.
`
`the
`trials were para11el—group studies,
`Most
`remaining ten trials being crossover in design. At
`least 72 of the trials were double-blind, five did not
`
`report blinding clearly, and the remaining six were
`single—blind or open—labe1 studies. Study lengths
`ranged from 2 to 52 wk, with 34 trials of 12—wk
`length. The number of patients in trials ranged from
`30 to 1593 patients, with five trials of >1000 patients
`
`[14-,30—33] and 20 trials with fewer than 100 patients.
`The mean age of patents included in the trials was
`58 yr (range: 40-75 yr).
`
`3.2.
`
`Efficacy
`
`Efficacy results are summarized in Table 4. Greater
`proportions of patients treated with antimuscari-
`nics than with placebo returned to continence, and
`these differences were statistically significant. The
`pooled RR varied between 1.3 and 3.5 across
`treatments and nominally were strongly statisti-
`cally significant (p<0.01) with the exception of
`fesoterodine, for which no data were available, and
`propiverine IR 45 mg/day, for which evidence was
`available from only one study [34]. There were no
`statistically significant differences among treat-
`ments in meta-analyses of active-controlled trials
`for this outcome.
`Active treatments were more effective than
`
`placebo in terms of the mean change in the number
