Overview
Brief Summary
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a syndrome characterized by symptoms of a sudden need to urinate with or without incontinence (leaking). The purpose of this study is to test whether dexmecamylamine is safe and effective compared to placebo for the treatment of symptoms of OAB.
Detailed Description
The study included a three- or five-week screening period, followed by a 12-week treatment period during which patients received either one of three doses of dexmecamylamine or placebo twice daily, randomized in a ratio of 2:1:1:1 (placebo, low dose, mid dose, high dose), with a two-week follow-up period. A total of 768 subjects with overactive bladder were randomized into the double-blind treatment period of the study.
