Name Time Method Assess the efficacy of duloxetine for up to 12 weeks, compared to placebo, in community dwelling women > or = 65 years of age with symptoms of pure stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Compare the efficacy of duloxetine 40 mg twice daily with that of placebo in the treatment of the symptoms of SUI and stress-predominant MUI as measured by:Absolute change in IEF Change in mean time between voids Percent change in the number of continence pads used per week Change in the Incontinence Quality of Life total score and 3 sub-domain scores Responder analysis based on the established within-treatment minimal clinically important difference established for the I-QOL Responder analysis based on percent change in IEF Patient's rating of improvement using the PGI-I Compare efficacy of duloxetine 40 mg twice daily with that of placebo as measured by the percent change in IEF using in the SUI and MUI subgroups To assess the impact of treatment with duloxetine 40 mg twice daily and placebo on the development of suicidal ideation. Assess the impact of treatment with duloxetine 40 mg twice daily and placebo in cognition. Assess the impact of treatment with duloxetine 40 mg twice daily and placebo as measured by changes in BDI-II. To compare the safety of duloxetine with placebo based on changes in vital signs, clinical lab values, occurrence and duration of adverse events and premature discontinuation of study due to adverse events.
