Participant Flow

Participants were screened at 90 centers in the United States; in 88 centers, participants were randomized.

The study consisted of a 2-week no-treatment screening period and a 12-week double-blind treatment period. Participants with bothersome overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms who met all entry criteria at baseline (end of screening) were randomized.

Measure
Placebo
All randomized participants were treated with placebo once daily for the first 2 weeks of treatment. The dose remained as placebo once daily or changed to matching placebo (for 8 mg) once daily for the next 10 weeks based on discussion between investigator and participant.
Fesoterodine
All randomized participants were treated with fesoterodine 4mg once daily for the first 2 weeks of treatment. The dose remained at 4 mg once daily or increased to 8 mg once daily for the next 10 weeks based on discussion between investigator and participant.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: Participants in the Full Analysis Set (FAS) with non-missing numerical change from baseline to Week 12 (last observation carried forward \[LOCF)). The FAS included all participants who took at least 1 dose of assigned study drug and had at least 1 valid efficacy assessment, either at baseline or post baseline.

The number of micturitions per 24 hours was calculated as the sum of all micturitions divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit. Change: mean at Week 12 minus mean at Baseline

Change in number of nocturnal micturitions (NM) recorded in the bladder diary. NM were defined as micturitions that occurred between the time the subject went to bed and the time he or she arose to start the next day. The number of NM per 24 hours was calculated as the sum of all NM divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit.
