`
`OBJECTIVE
`
`0 To show the superior efficacy of
`fesoterodine over tolterodine extended
`
`release (ERJ in a placebo-controlled
`overactive bladder [OAB] trial with
`predefined treatment comparisons for both
`diary measures and patient-reported
`outcomes.
`
`MATERIALS AND METHODS
`
`0 In this 12-week, double-blind, double-
`dummy trial, subjects reporting >1 urgency
`urinary incontinence [UUI] episode and 28
`micturitions per 24 h at baseline were
`randomized to fesoterodine [4 mg for 1
`week, 8 mg for 11 weeks], tolterodine ER
`4 mg. or placebo.
`0 Subjects completed 3-day bladder diaries,
`the Patient Perception of Bladder Condition
`(PPBC) and the Urgency Perception Scale
`[UPS] at baseline and weeks 1, 4 and 12 and
`the DAB Questionnaire at baseline and week
`12.
`
`RESULTS
`
`What's known on the subject? and What does the study add?
`A previous trial found greater efficacy with the maximum available close of fesoterodine
`8 mg compared with the maximum available dose of tolterodine ER 4 mg and placebo for
`improving overactive bladder symptoms, and patient-reported outcomes were
`demonstrated by a recent placebo-controlled, head-to-head trial.
`
`The results of this trial, the largest to date to compare antimuscarinic efticacy, confirms
`the superior efficacy of fesoterodine 8 mg over tolterodine ER 4 mg for the treatment of
`OAB symptoms, and further emphasize the clinical advantage of the availability of an
`additional 8—mg dose over single-dose tolterodine ER 4 mg.
`
`placebo on UUI episodes [primary endpoint},
`micturitions, urgency and most other diary
`endpoints, and on the PPBC, UPS and all OAB
`Questionnaire scales and domains [all P<
`0.05}.
`' Superiority of fesoterodine 8 mg over
`tolterodine ER 4 mg was seen as early as
`week 4 (3 weeks after escalation to
`fesoterodine 8 mg]. At week 1, fesoterodine
`4 mg was superior to placebo on most diary
`variables, the PPBC and
`the UPS [all P< 0.05}. Dry mouth and
`constipation rates were 28% and 4% with
`fesoterodine, 13% and 30/0 with tolterodine
`ER, and 5% and 2% with placebo.
`' Discontinuation rates as a result of
`adverse events were 5%, 30/0 and 2% for
`fesoterodine. tolterodine ER and placebo,
`respectively.
`
`CONCLUSl0NS
`
`performed to date, fesoterodine 8 mg was
`superior to tolterodine ER 4 mg for UUI
`episodes, micturitions and urgency episodes,

`
`HEAD-T0-HEAD COMPARISON OF FESOTERODINE AND TOLTERODINE Ea
`
`INTRDDUCTION
`
`With the emergence of comparative
`effectiveness research as a driver of
`
`healthcare policy and reform. there is
`currently an emphasis on establishing the
`clinical value of one treatment over another
`[1]. A number of randomized, double-blind,
`placebo-controlled trials have compared the
`efficacy of antimuscarinics for the treatment
`of overactive bladder IOAB} symptoms [2-9].
`The International Conference on
`Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice
`
`guidelines recommend the superiority design
`for comparisons between active treatments
`and with placebo [10]. However. most trials of
`antimuscarinic efficacy have been designed
`for comparison with placebo only; trials
`designed to compare the clinical efficacy of
`two antimuscarinics have either been based
`
`on a non-inferiority design or have lacked a
`placebo arm. Additionally, no placebo-
`controlled trials to date have reported
`predefined comparisons in both diary-based
`and patient-reported outcomes [PROS]
`measures.
`
`Fesoterodine is an antimuscarinic agent that
`is rapidly and extensively converted by
`ubiquitous esterases to its active metabolite,
`5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT];
`fesoterodine is not detectable in plasma after
`oral dosing, and all antimuscarinic effects are
`attributable to 5-HMT [11]. Tolterodine is also
`converted to 5-HMT. although this occurs
`primarily in the liver via cytochrome P450
`2%. A significant fraction of unconverted
`tolterodine is found in plasma. and both
`tolterodine and 5-HMT contribute to
`
`antimuscarinic effects [11]. After oral
`administration of tolterodine, there
`is considerable variability in the
`pharmacokinetic properties of 5-HMT and
`tolterodine between individuals with different
`
`cytochrome P450 2% phenotypes [12].
`There is much less variability in 5-HMT
`pharmacokinetics after oral administration of
`fesoterodine [13].
`
`By contrast to tolterodine extended release
`[ER], for which 4 mg is the one approved dose
`for treatment in the general population of
`patients with OAB [14]. fesoterodine is
`available in both 4 and 8 mg once-daily doses
`[15,16]. Notably, a posthoc analysis of a
`placebo-controlled phase III trial of
`fesoterodine that included tolterodine ER as
`
`voided volume [MVV] per micturition with
`fesoterodine 8 mg compared to tolterodine
`ER 4 mg [18]. Consistent with these findings,
`a recent placebo-controlled. head-to-head
`trial showed that reductions in UUI episodes
`at 12 weeks [the primary endpoint} and
`increases in MW per micturition and 3-day
`diary-dry rate [proportion of subjects with >0
`UUI episodes on baseline bladder diaries who
`reported 0 UUI episodes at week 12; post hoc
`analysis} were significantly greater in subjects
`treated with fesoterodine 8 mg than in
`subjects treated with tolterodine ER 4 mg [9].
`Subjects receiving fesoterodine 8 mg also had
`significantly greater improvements on the
`Patient-Perception of Bladder Condition
`[PPBC]. Urgency Perception Sale [UPS] and the
`Overactive Bladder questionnaire [OAB-q]
`compared to subjects receiving tolterodine ER
`4 mg (all posthocanalyses) [9].
`
`The present study, which is the largest
`placebo-controlled. randomized, head-to-
`head antimuscarinic study peformed to date,
`is the second study to prospectively assess the
`superiority of the maximum available dose of
`fesoterodine [8 mg) over the maximum
`available dose of tolterodine ER (4 mg}.
`Notably, all comparisons of diary-based
`endpoints and PROs in the present study were
`predefined, and this is the first placebo-
`controlled study for which the time course of
`the superiority of one antimuscarinic over
`another has been reported.

`requirements and laws. All subjects provided
`their written informed consent.
`
`The United States and European fesoterodine
`product labels recommend a starting dose of
`fesoterodine of 4 mg once daily, which may
`be increased to 8 mg once daily based on
`individual response and tolerability [15,16]. In
`the present study, all subjects in the
`fesoterodine group received fesoterodine
`4 mg for the first week followed by
`fesoterodine 8 mg for the next 11 weeks. All
`subjects in the tolterodine ER group received
`tolterodine ER 4 mg for all 12 weeks.
`Throughout the study. all subjects were
`instructed to take one tablet [fesoterodine 4
`or 8 mg. or matching placebo] and one
`capsule (tolterodine ER 4 mg. or matching
`placebo] daily in the morning.
`
`SUBJECTS
`
`Eligible men and women [218 years) self-
`reported OAB symptoms for 23 months and
`had a mean of at least one UUI episode and
`28 micturitions per 24 h in 3-day bladder
`diaries at baseline. Key exclusion criteria were:
`clinically significant hepatic or renal disease;
`voiding dysfunction attributable to lower
`genitourinary pathology or surgical
`treatment; neurological conditions lstroke.
`multiple sclerosis. spinal cord injury or
`Parkinson*s disease]; history of acute urinary
`retention requiring catheterization;

`
`Urinary Sensation Scale (1 = no urgency,
`5 = UUI] [19]. The frequency—urgency sum
`was defined as the sum of Urinary Sensation
`Scale ratings associated with all micturitions
`over the course of 24 h averaged over the
`diary period. Three-day diary-dry rate was
`defined as the proportion of subjects with >0
`UUI episodes on baseline bladder diaries who
`reported 0 UUI episodes on post-baseline
`diary. Subjects also completed the PPBC [20]
`and UPS [21] at baseline and weeks 1, 4
`and 12, and the OAB-q [22] at baseline and
`week 12.
`
`STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
`
`On the basis of a previously observed mean
`(SD) difference of 0.44 (2.36) between
`fesoterodine 8 mg and tolterodine ER 4 mg
`groups for changes in UUI episodes per 24 h
`from baseline to week 12 [17]. 606 subjects
`per active treatment group were required for
`90% power for comparisons at the 5%
`significance level. On the basis of the
`previously observed mean (SD) differences of
`1.07 [285] between fesoterodine 8 mg and
`placebo groups and 0.63 (2.81] between
`tolterodine ER 4 mg and placebo groups [17],
`303 subjects were required in the placebo
`group for 28801:: power for each comparison.
`Thus, 1515 subjects were required; assuming
`that 90% of randomized subjects would
`contribute to the full analysis set [FAS], it was
`originally planned to randomize 1675
`subjects.
`On the basis of the results of the first head-
`
`to—head trial of fesoterodine 8 mg vs
`tolterodine ER 4 mg [9], it was determined
`that non-parametric methods may be
`required for statistical analysis of some
`endpoints in the present study. A blinded
`sample size re-estimation was performed in
`January 2009 to calculate the conditional
`power of the present study based on the
`originally planned sample size of 1675
`randomized subjects. The study wasjudged to
`be underpowered (68%] for non-parametric
`analysis as conducted in the previous study.
`To increase the power to 80%, the sample
`sizes were increased to 820, 820 and 410
`subjects in the fesoterodine, tolterodine ER
`and placebo groups, respectively [total n =
`2050]. It was assumed that 95% of the
`randomized subjects would contribute to the
`FAS [9]; thus, at least 2160 randomized
`subjects were required.
`
`Tolerability findings were assessed
`descriptively using the safety analysis set,
`
`‘I434
`
`which included all subjects who took one or
`more dose of double-blind study drug.
`Efficacy analyses were initially planned using
`the FAS. which included all subjects who took
`one or more dose of double-blind study drug
`and had at least one valid post-baseline
`efficacy assessment. Significant Good Clinical
`Practice violations and data irregularities
`were identified in theee study sites during a
`quality assurance audit conducted by the
`sponsor, during the study. All 77 subjects from
`these three sites were excluded from the FAS,
`although these subjects were included in
`the safety analysis set. This decision was
`documented in an amended statistical
`
`analysis plan and finalized before database
`unblinding. Sensitivity analyses of changes
`from baseline to week 12 for the primary
`endpoint [UUI episodes] and three secondary
`endpoints (MW, micturitions per 24 h, and
`urgency episodes per 24 h} were conducted
`based on a supporting FAS that included the
`77 subjects from these three sites. The
`sensitivity analyses showed that the results
`obtained for the primary and selected
`secondary endpoints based on the supporting
`FAS were consistent with those obtained
`based on the FAS.
`
`All comparisons reported in the present study
`were prespecified. Treatment differences in
`the primary endpoint [changes in UUI
`episodes per 24 h from baseline to week 12]
`and all secondary endpoints 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 vs placebo was
`significant. The tolterodine ER group was also
`compared with placebo. Numeric and
`percentage changes from baseline for each
`diary endpoint were considered in separate
`hierarchical order to preserve the on-level of
`5% within each diary endpoint. Numeric
`changes were tested first, and percentage
`changes were tested only if the difference in
`numeric change was statistically significant.
`
`The statistical analysis plan specified testing
`whether diary data met normality
`assumptions [23]. It was found that changes
`in UUI episodes, MW and severe urgency
`episodes violated normality assumptions.
`Thus, changes in these variables were
`assessed using the non-parametric Van
`Elteren's test. a Stratified Wi|coxon—Mann—
`Whitney test [24]. Changes in these variables
`are presented as Winsorized means.

`receiving fesoterodine 8 mg also had
`significantly greater improvements in all diary
`endpoints compared to placebo [all P<
`0.0001, except P: 0.0286 for nocturnal
`micturitions]. In the tolterodine ER group,
`improvements in UUI episodes [P= 0.0019],
`MW [P : 0.0002], micturitions (P: 0.0043],
`urgency episodes (P= 0.0054}, severe urgency

`(-75.0070; P< 0.0001], as well as in the
`tolterodine ER group vs placebo (P: 0.0038;
`Table 2]. The 3-day diary-dry rates were
`significantly greater for fesoterodine vs
`tolterodine ER [P= 0.0494] and placebo
`[P< 0.0001] at week 4 [Fig. 2B].The difference
`between tolterodine ER and placebo in 3-day
`diary-dry rate was also significant at week 4
`(P: 0.0063].
`
`The categorical change in PPBC and UPS

`
`significantly better in the fesoterodine group
`compared to the tolterodine ER (P: 0.0177;

`but the difference between tolterodine ER and
`
`placebo in change in UPS score was not
`significant [P = 0.1485].
`
`WEEK 1 OUTCOMES
`
`At week 1, there were no statistically
`significant differences between subjects
`receiving fesoterodine 4 mg and those
`receiving tolterodine ER for changes in any
`diary variable [all P> 0.05]. Compared to
`placebo, the fesoterodine group had
`significantly greater improvements in UUI
`episodes [P= 0.0006], diary-dry rate
`[P= 0.0008], MW [P = 0.0020]. micturitions
`(P: 0.0161], urgency episodes [P : 0.0374]
`and frequency-urgency sum (P: 0.0136] at
`week 1, but not in severe urgency episodes
`(P: 0.0576] or nocturnal micturitions
`(P: 0.3823]. Differences between the
`tolterodine ER and placebo groups were not
`statistically significant for any bladder diary
`variable (P> 0.05], except for UUI episodes
`(P: 0.0202] and diary-dry rate (P: 0.0024].
`
`Compared to the tolterodine ER group,
`categorical changes in PPBC and UPS scores
`from baseline to week 1
`in the fesoterodine
`
`group did not reach statistical significance
`(P: 0.2817 and P: 0.3713; Fig. 3). However,
`categorical changes in PPBC and UPS scores
`were significantly better in the fesoterodine
`(P: 0.0009 and P: 0.0011] and tolterodine
