Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Detrusor Pressure at Peak Urinary Flow Rate (PdetQmax)Baseline and 12 weeks
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Postvoid Residual Volume (PVRcath) Measured During Free-Flow StudiesBaseline and 12 weeks

PVRcath is the volume of urine remaining int he bladder after voiding, measured by catheterization.

Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Peak Urinary Flow Rate (Qmax) Measured During Free-Flow StudiesBaseline and 12 weeks

Qmax was measured during free-flow tests using a standard calibrated flow meter.

Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Mean Urinary Flow Rate (Qave) Measured During Free-Flow StudiesBaseline and 12 weeks

Qave was measured during free-flow tests using a standard calibrated flow meter.

Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Volume of Voided Urine (Vcomp) Measured During Free-Flow StudiesBaseline and 12 weeks
Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Total Bladder Capacity Measured During Free-Flow StudiesBaseline and 12 weeks

Total bladder capacity was defined as Vcomp + PVRcath (obtained when the bladder was full).

Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Bladder Voiding Efficiency (BVE) Measured During Free-Flow StudiesBaseline and 12 weeks

Bladder voiding efficiency was defined as (Vcomp/total bladder capacity) X 100 (obtained when the bladder was full).

Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Peak Urinary Flow Rate (Qmax) Measured During Pressure-Flow StudiesBaseline and 12 weeks

Qmax was measured duirng pressure-flow tests.

Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Mean Urinary Flow Rate (Qave) Measured During Pressure-Flow StudiesBaseline and 12 weeks

Qave was measured during pressure-flow tests.

Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Volume of Voided Urine (Vcomp) Measured During Pressure-Flow StudiesBaseline and 12 weeks

Vcomp was defined as the volume of voided urine measured during pressure-flow tests.

Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Maximum Detrusor Pressure (Max Pdet) Measured During Pressure-Flow StudiesBaseline and 12 weeks

Max Pdet was defined as the maximum detrusor pressure observed during voiding.

Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Bladder Contractility Index (BCI) Measured During Pressure-Flow StudiesBaseline and 12 weeks

BCI was derived from the equation PdetQmax + 5Qmax. Scores: \<100 means weak, 100-150 menas normal, \>150 means strong. A decrease means a decrease in contractility of the bladder.

Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Bladder Outlet Obstruction Index (BOOI) Measured During Pressure-Flow StudiesBaseline and 12 weeks

BOOI, formerly known as the Abrams-Griffith number, was derived from the equation PdetQmax - 2Qmax. Scores: \<20 means unobstructed, 20-40 means equivocol, \>40 means obstructed. An increase means worsening of obstruction, a decreased means lessening of obstruction (improvement).

Presence of Involuntary Detrusor Contractions During Bladder FillingBaseline and 12 weeks
Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Bladder Volume at First Involuntary Detrusor ContractionBaseline and 12 weeks

Assessed in participants with involuntary detrusor contractions during the bladder filling at both baseline and endpoint.

Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) Total Score12 weeks

The IPSS Total Score is obtained by combining the scores of the responses to the 7 component questions. Each question is scored from 0-5 for an IPSS range of 0-35 points; higher numerical scores from the IPSS questionnaire represent greater severity of symptoms.

Clinically Adverse and Statistically Significant Changes From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Laboratory TestsBaseline and 12 weeks

Laboratory tests that were statistically significant and clinically adverse would be reported for safety.
