A Study to Evaluate Add on Effect of Solifenacin in Men With Overactive Bladder Symptoms After Tamsulosin Monotherapy for 4 Weeks
- Registration Number
- NCT00884104
- Lead Sponsor
- KYU-SUNG LEE
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate of "add-on" solifenacin treatment and its persistency in men with over active bladder symptoms after tamsulosin monotherapy for 4 weeks.
- Detailed Description
This is a multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and persistency of solifenacin treatment in male patients with persistent OAB symptoms of urinary frequency and urgency with/without urgency incontinence who are receiving tamsulosin monotherapy for LUTS at a stable dose for 4 weeks in real life practice. Also proportion of patients and predictive factors with persistent OAB symptoms after tamsulosin monotherapy will be investigated.
