`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Antimuscarinic agents are the first-line
`pharmacological treatment for overactive
`bladder IOABI [1]. Fesoterodine is a
`nonselective oral antimuscarinic agentforthe
`
`treatment of OAB symptoms that is rapidly
`and extensively converted by ubiquitous
`esterases to its active metabolite, 5-
`hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT]. As
`a result, fesoterodine is not detectable
`in plasma after oral dosing and its
`
`antimuscarinic effects are attributable to
`
`5—HMT [2,3]. The pharmacokinetic profile of
`5-HMT is dose-proportional at doses up to
`12 mg [4]. Tolterodine is also converted to
`5-HMT, although this occurs primarily in the
`liver via cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6. A

`HEAD-T0-HEAD COMPARISON OF FESOTERODINE AND TOLTERODINE Ea
`
`significant fraction of unconverted
`tolterodine is found in plasma [3]. Thus,
`both tolterodine and 5-HlVlT contribute to
`
`antimuscarinic effects in patients who take
`tolterodine [5], and the ratio of tolterodine to
`5-HMT varies depending on the CYP 2D6
`metabolizer status of the patient.
`
`By contrast with tolterodine extended-release
`[ER], for which 4 mg is the one approved dose
`for treatment in the general population of
`patients with OAB [6], fesoterodine is
`available in both 4- and 8-mg once-daily
`doses [7,8]. In two fixed-dose phase III studies,
`fesoterodine 4 and 8 mg significantly
`improved bladder diary variables, including
`micturition frequency, urgency episodes, and
`urgency urinary incontinence [UUI] episodes,
`compared with placebo [9,l0]; a pooled
`analysis showed that fesoterodine 4 and 8 mg
`also significantly improved measures of
`health-related quality of life (HRQL] vs
`placebo [11]. One of the two phase III trials of
`fesoterodine included tolterodine ER as an
`
`active control [9]. A post hoc analysis showed
`statistically significant differences in favour
`of fesoterodine 8 mg over tolterodine ER
`4 mg for UUI episodes as well as mean voided
`volume [MW] per void [12]. However, there
`are currently no data from studies designed
`primarilyto make a head-to-head comparison
`of fesoterodine vs tolterodine ER to assess
`
`whether the higher 8-mg dose of
`fesoterodine provides additional clinical
`benefit compared with the recommended 4-
`mg dose of tolterodine.
`
`Thus the primary objective of the present
`study was to assess whether the efficacy of
`fesoterodine 8 mg is superior to that of
`tolterodine ER 4 mg and placebo in improving
`symptoms of OAB and patient—reported
`outcomes.
`
`PATIENTS AND METHODS
`
`This was a 12-week, randomized, double-
`blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled,
`parallel group, multicentre trial with a 2-week
`single-blind placebo run-in period. Upon
`completion of the placebo run-in, patients
`who met the entry criteria were randomized
`in a double-blind fashion to fesoterodine
`
`8 mg, tolterodine ER 4 mg, or placebo, in a
`2:2:l ratio. A simple randomization schedule
`with a block size of five was implemented
`using a centralized system. The randomization
`schedule was generated, secured. distributed
`
`and stored by Pfizer Global Clinical Data
`Services; neither the investigator nor the
`patient was aware of which treatment was
`administered.
`
`The USA and European fesoterodine product
`labels recommend a starting dose of
`fesoterodine of 4 mg once-daily, which can
`be increased to 8 mg once-daily based on
`individual response and tolerability [7,8]. In
`the present study, all patients in the
`fesoterodine group started on fesoterodine
`4 mg for 1 week, followed by fesoterodine
`8 mg for 11 weeks. All patients in the
`tolterodine ER group received tolterodine ER
`4 mg capsules for all 12 weeks. A double-
`dummy design was used, with all patients
`receiving one tablet [fesoterodine 4 or 8 mg,
`or matching placebo] and one capsule
`[tolterodine ER 4 mg, or matching placebo)
`daily. Throughout the trial, including the
`placebo run-in and double-blind treatments,
`all medications were taken once daily in the
`morning.
`
`The study was approved by the appropriate
`Institutional Review Boards and Independent
`Ethics Committees. All patients provided
`written informed consent, and the trial was
`conducted in accordance with the protocol,
`International Conference on Harmonization
`
`Good Clinical Practice guidelines, and
`applicable local regulatory requirements and
`laws.
`
`Eligible patients were men and women aged
`218 years, with symptoms of OAB (self-
`assessed] for 23 months before screening and
`a mean of one or more UUI episode,'24 h and
`28 voidsi'24 h reported in 3-day bladder
`diaries completed at baseline. Patients were
`excluded if they had: clinically significant
`hepatic or renal disease; lower genitourinary
`pathology or surgical treatment thereof
`responsible for voiding dysfunction;
`neurological conditions such as stroke,
`multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or
`Parkinson's disease; previous history of acute
`urinary retention requiring catheterization;
`symptoms of incontinence being
`predominately stress Ul in the opinion of the
`investigator; treatment with antimuscarinic
`OAB medication within 2 weeks before
`
`screening; or use of any electrostimulation,
`bladder training, or pelvic floor exercises
`within 4 weeks of screening. Female patients
`of childbearing potential who were
`heterosexually active without using an
`adequate form of contraception, or who were
`

`
`pregnant, nursing, or with a positive urine
`pregnancy test were also excluded.
`
`Patients completed 3-day bladder diaries at
`baseline and week 12. Efficacy endpoints
`corresponded to changes from baseline to
`week 12 in UUI episodes/24 h [primary
`endpoint]; MW,’void; and voids, nocturnal
`voids, urgency episodes, severe urgency
`episodes, and frequency-urgency sum per
`24 h. Patients rated the sensation associated
`
`with each void using the 5-point Urinary
`Sensation Scale [USS; 1, no urgency; 2, mild
`urgency; 3, moderate urgency; 4, severe
`urgency; 5, UUI] [13]. Urgency episodes and
`severe urgency episodes were defined by a
`rating of 23 and 24, respectively, on the USS.
`Frequency-urgency sum, defined as the sum
`of USS ratings associated with all voids over
`the course of 24 h averaged over the diary
`period, is an integrated. validated measure
`reflecting both voiding frequency and
`urgency [14,15] that has been used in several
`recent studies [16—19].
`
`Patients also completed the Patient
`Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC),
`Urgency Perception Scale [UPS], and DAB
`Questionnaire [DAB-q) at baseline and week
`12. The PPBC is a validated single-item
`questionnaire that asks patients to rate their
`overall bladder condition; lower scores
`indicate less-severe bladder-related problems
`[20]. The validated UPS is a single-item
`instrument with a 3-point, ordered,
`categorical response scale to assess patients’
`perception of urgency; higher scores indicate
`less urgency [21]. The validated OAB-q
`includes an eight-item Symptom Bother scale
`and a 25-item HROL scale [22]. Symptom
`Bother items address the level of bother
`
`associated with the patients bladder
`condition; lower scores indicate less symptom
`bother. The HROL scale comprises four
`domains (Concern, Coping, Sleep, and Social
`Interaction]; higher scores indicate better
`HROL. Each OAB-q scale or domain score is
`transformed so that scores range from 0 to
`‘I00 [22].
`
`Sample size determination was based on the
`previously observed mean {SD} treatment
`difference of 0.44 [2.36] between fesoterodine
`8 mg and tolterodine ER 4 mg groups for
`change in UUI episodesi'24 h from baseline to
`week 12 [9]. A sample size of 606 patients per
`active treatment group was required to detect
`a difference between fesoterodine and
`
`tolterodine ER in the change in UUI episodes

`
`from baseline to week 12 using a two-sided
`t-test at the 50/0 significance level with 90%
`power. Based on the previously observed
`mean [sol treatment differences of1.07 [285]
`between fesoterodine 8 mg and placebo
`groups, and 0.63 [2.81] between tolterodine
`ER 4 mg and placebo groups [9]. 303 patients
`were required in the placebo group for 288%
`power for each comparison. Thus, 1515
`patients were required. Assuming that
`approximately 90% of the randomized
`patients would contribute to the full-analysis
`set, it was planned to randomize 1675
`patients. Tolerability findings were analysed
`descriptively based on the safety-analysis
`set, which included all patients who were
`randomized and took one or more dose
`
`of double-blind study drug. Efficacy was
`analysed using the full-analysis set, which
`included randomized patients who took one
`or more dose of double-blind study drug and
`had one or more valid baseline or postbaseline
`efficacy assessment.
`
`Treatment differences in changes in UUI
`episodesl24 h from baseline to week 12
`(primary endpoint) were assessed using a
`closed testing procedure: the fesoterodine
`group was first compared with placebo, and
`then with the tolterodine ER group if the
`difference from placebo was significant. The
`tolterodine ER group was also compared with
`placebo. Numerical and percentage changes
`from baseline for each diary endpoint were
`considered in separate hierarchical order to
`preserve the oz-level of 5010 within each diary
`endpoint. Numerical changes were tested
`first, and percentage changes were tested
`only if the difference in numerical change was
`statistically significant.
`
`The statistical analysis plan specified that all
`bladder diary data were to be tested for
`whether they met the normality assumptions,
`and the appropriate [parametric or
`nonparametric] analytical methods were to be
`used. This assessment, based on whether the
`residuals derived from analysis of covariance
`(ANCOvA] were normally distributed [23],
`revealed that changes in UUI episodes,’24 h
`did not meet normality assumptions, whereas
`other diary endpoints did (Fig. 1]. Thus,
`baseline to week-12 differences in UUI
`
`episodesl24 h are presented as Winsorized
`means, which are less sensitive to outliers in
`the sample distribution tails. while still being a
`robust estimator of the sample mean. The
`Winsorized mean was calculated by replacing

`
`The statistical significance of baseline to
`week-12 changes in other diary endpoints,
`which met the normality assumptions, were
`determined based on an ANCOVA model
`
`including baseline value as a covariate with
`treatment and country as factors. Percentage
`changes from baseline in bladder diary
`endpoints were analysed using ANCOVA, except
`that a ranked score based on ranking of the
`percentage changes was used for the
`dependent variable and a ranked baseline
`value was used as a covariate. The Cochran-
`
`Mantel-Haenszel test stratified by country
`was used for PPBC and UPS data. An ANCOVA
`model was used to assess treatment
`
`differences in OAB-q scale and domain scores
`that included baseline value as a covariate
`
`for PPBC. UPS, and OAB-q data were not pre-
`specified and were conducted post hoc.

`excluding these patients from the analysis of
`the primary endpoint did not affect the result.
`
`Baseline demographic and clinical
`characteristics were similar among the
`placebo, tolterodine ER and fesoterodine
`groups (Table 1}. Overall, approximately 80%
`were women, 78% were white, and the mean
`age of patients was approximately 58 years.
`The mean OAB symptom duration was
`approximately 7 years, and about half of the
`patients had previously used antimuscarinics.
`Ofall patients, approximately 1% reported no
`UUI episodes during the 3-day diary period at
`baseline and were in violation of the study
`inclusion criterion. These patients were
`included in the safety and efficacy analyses
`with two relevant exceptions: they were
`excluded from the analyses of baseline to
`week 12 changes in UUI episodes,l24 h and of
`the diary-dry rates (see below).
`
`The mean reduction in the number UUI
`
`episodes;'24h (primary endpoint) was
`significantly greater from baseline to week
`12 in the fesoterodine group than with
`tolterodine ER [P= 0.017} or placebo
`(P< 0.001; Fig. 3A]. Tolterodine ER also
`
`produced a significantly greater improvement
`in UUI episodes than placebo [P= 0.011}.
`
`The median percentage reduction in UUI
`episodes in both the fesoterodine (100%)
`and tolterodine ER (100%) groups was
`significantly greaterthan the 82.1% reduction
`in the placebo group (both P< 0.001 ;Table 2].
`These data indicate that half or more of
`
`patients in the fesoterodine and tolterodine
`ER groups who had at least one UUI episode
`in the baseline diary reported no UUI episodes
`in bladder diaries at week 12; however, the
`statistically significant difference between
`these active treatment groups indicated that
`one group had a greater proportion of
`patients without UUI episodes at week
`12 [P= 0.022]. To assess the relative
`improvements in UUI episodes in the two
`active treatment groups, a post hoc analysis
`was used to determine the diary-dry rate,
`defined as the proportion of patients in each
`treatment group reporting one or more UUI
`episodes during the baseline diary period
`who reported no UUI episodes during the
`subsequent diary period; patients with
`no UUI episodes at baseline. constituting
`approximately 1% of study population. were
`not included in this analysis. The diary-dry
`rate at week 12 was significantly greater for

`between tolterodine ER and placebo in diary-
`dry rate at week 12 was also significant
`(P< 0.001).
`
`Fesoterodine produced a significantly greater
`increase in MW/void from baseline to week
`12 than tolterodine ER (P= 0.005) or placebo
`(P<0.001; Fig. 3B). Compared with placebo,
`fesoterodine also significantly reduced voids
`(Fig. 3C], urgency episodes (Fig. 3E}, severe
`urgency episodes (Fig. 3F], and frequency-
`urgency sum (Fig. 3G; all P< 0.001] per 24 h

`(Fig. 3D; P= 0.327]. The differences between
`fesoterodine and tolterodine ER on
`

`[P= 0.054], severe urgency episodes
`(P=0.139]. and frequency-urgency
`sum [P= 0.105] per 24 h were numerically
`in favour of fesoterodine but not statistically
`significant. Compared with placebo,
`tolterodine ER produced significantly greater
`baseline to week 12 improvements in voids
`(P< 0.001], urgency episodes (P< 0.001],
`severe urgency episodes (P< 0.001) and
`frequency-urgency sum (P< 0.001) per 24 h,
`but not MW [P= 0.103) or nocturnal voids,l
`24 h [P= 0.506]. Median percentage changes
`in bladder diary variables are presented in
`Table 2.
`
`The categorical change in PPBC score from
`baseline to week 12 [classified as a 22-point
`improvement. 1-point improvement, no
`change, or deterioration], was significantly
`more favourable in the fesoterodine group
`than in patients on placebo (P<0.001] and
`tolterodine ER (P< 0.001, post hoc statistical
`comparison]. Changes in the tolterodine ER
`group were also significantly more favourable
`than in the placebo group (P< 0.001, post hoc
`statistical comparison; Fig. 4). Consistent with
`this, the proportion of patients reporting
`‘some minor problems‘ or better on the PPBC
`at week 12 was higher in the fesoterodine
`group (55%) than in the tolterodine ER (45%,
`P< 0.001) and placebo (33%, P< 0.001]
`groups. The difference between the
`tolterodine ER and placebo groups was also
`statistically significant (P< 0.001].

`
`during the study due to adverse events (AE5).
`Among these patients, six [2°io) receiving
`placebo, 28 [4010] receiving tolterodine ER, and
`42 l6%] receiving fesoterodine, discontinued
`due to treatment-emergent AES [TEAEs) of
`any cause. The most frequently reported
`TEAEs in the fesoterodine group were
`dry mouth (28%), headache (60/21) and
`constipation (5%; Table 3). These were also
`the most frequently reported TEAEs in the
`tolterodine ER group, with rates of 16%, 30/0
`and 4%, respectively. In the placebo group,
`the rates were 60/0, 20/0 and 3%, respectively.
`The large majority of all AEs, including
`dry mouth, were mild or moderate in all
`treatment groups. Dry mouth was reported as
`Severe by two [10io}. seven [1010] and 14 (2%)
`patients in the placebo, tolterodine ER, and
`fesoterodine groups, respectively.
`
`There were four fatal serious AES during the
`course of the study, including two in the
`placebo and two in the fesoterodine groups:
`these deaths were all reported as unrelated to
`study treatment. Non-fatal serious AEs
`occurring during treatment or within 30 days
`of the last dose were reported by six (2%),
`nine [1010] and 16 [20lo) of patients in the
`placebo, tolterodine ER and fesoterodine
`groups, respectively. None of the serious AEs
`reported in the placebo or tolterodine ER
`groups were considered to be treatment-
`related. Two serious AEs reported in the
`fesoterodine group were considered to be
`treatment-related. One of these patients, a
`70-year-old man with a history of benign
`prostatic enlargement and elevated PSA
`levels, developed urinary retention after
`6 days of treatment with fesoterodine 4 mg
`and required catheterization.
`
`DISCUSSION
`
`This is the first head-to-head trial with the
`
`primary objective of assessing the superiority
`of fesoterodine over tolterodine ER for the
`
`treatment of DAB symptoms. Compared
`with tolterodine ER, fesoterodine showed
`significantly greater efficacy in reducing UUI
`episodes, the primary endpoint, and in
`increasing bladder capaci
