Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is for women diagnosed with urinary urgency incontinence (UUI) or overactive bladder (OAB). Some patients continue to have symptoms even while taking medication for OAB. The purpose of this study is to estimate the number of women who respond to a medication called mirabegron and estimate change in symptom severity over 12 weeks of therapy. A secondary goal is to correlate the female urinary microbiome (FUM) with response to treatment and change in symptom severity over 12 weeks of therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Mirabegron is an FDA-approved medication for urgency incontinence. Evaluation of mirabegron's influence on clinical symptoms may need to take into account the effect of the female urinary microbiome (FUM) on a patient's response to treatment. Compared to asymptomatic patients, several bacterial species are more common in patients with overactive bladder.

Currently, physicians have limited ability to personalize a patient's urinary urgency incontinence treatment and, consequently, the prescribed medication may provide minimal symptom relief. Since the FUM can be assessed prior to treatment, this study proposes to determine if baseline FUM assessment can provide insight into future symptom relief with mirabegron treatment.
