RESUMO

PURPOSE: This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of TAC-302, a novel drug that restores neurite outgrowth, in patients with detrusor underactivity (DU) and overactive bladder (OAB). METHODS: After 2-4 weeks of observation, patients were randomized 2:1 to receive oral TAC-302 200 mg or placebo twice daily for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was detrusor contraction strength, estimated by bladder contractility index (BCI) for males and projected isovolumetric pressure 1 (PIP1) for females. Secondary endpoints included changes in bladder voiding efficiency (BVE) and safety. RESULTS: Seventy-six patients were included (TAC-302, n = 52; placebo, n = 24). The mean (standard deviation [SD]) BCI for males was 64.6 (16.6) at baseline and 75.2 (21.1) at week 12 (p < 0.001) with TAC-302 (n = 27), and 61.3 (16.6) and 60.5 (16.7) (p = 0.82) with placebo (n = 11). The respective mean (SD) PIP1 for females was 18.8 (6.6) and 29.4 (9.4) (p < 0.001) with TAC-302 (n = 15), and 20.6 (7.5) and 25.5 (9.6) (p = 0.14) with placebo (n = 7). TAC-302 significantly increased BCI in males and BVE in both sexes. TAC-302 efficacy on OAB was not clearly shown. The incidences of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, and AEs leading to dose interruption were similar between groups; no adverse drug reactions occurred. CONCLUSION: Considering the significant effects on BCI in males and BVE in both sexes, TAC-302 may benefit patients with DU.

RESUMO

AIMS: To examine the safety and efficacy of vibegron, a new ß3-adrenoceptor agonist, in patients aged ≥65 years, with a focus on the effects on cardiovascular system and overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. METHODS: A post-hoc subgroup analysis was performed of a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind comparative phase 3 study of vibegron, including those assigned to receive either vibegron 50 mg (V50), vibegron 100 mg (V100), or placebo for 12 weeks. Subjects were stratified into two subgroups based on age: a <65-year subgroup and a ≥65-year subgroup. Safety (changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, and residual urine volume) and efficacy (changes in the numbers of micturitions, urgency episodes, urgency urinary incontinence [UUI] episodes, and the voided volume/micturition) were assessed in the subgroups treated with vibegron vs. placebo. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the cardiovascular outcomes (blood pressure and pulse rate), nor in the changes in residual urine volume, between the V50/100 and placebo groups in the <65-year or ≥65-year subgroup after 12-week treatment. Adverse events were slightly increased in the ≥65-year subgroup. In the efficacy analysis, V50/100 demonstrated similar efficacy in the <65-year and ≥65-year subgroups; an increasing trend in the voided volume/micturition was observed in subjects aged ≥65 years compared to subjects aged <65 years. CONCLUSIONS: Vibegron was suggested to be similarly effective in patients ≥65 and <65 years and to have minimal influence on cardiovascular parameters.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin treatment (onabotulinumtoxinA 200 units) for Japanese patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity caused by spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis. METHODS: Patients with urinary incontinence refractory to pharmacological treatment were enrolled and randomized in a phase III trial. A single dose of onabotulinumtoxinA (n = 11) or placebo (n = 10) was given in the double-blind phase, and repeat injections of onabotulinumtoxinA were given in the subsequent open-label phase. Outcomes included urinary incontinence episodes, urodynamics, patient-reported outcomes and adverse events. RESULTS: The onabotulinumtoxinA group showed a numerically greater reduction in the number of urinary incontinence episodes per day than the placebo group, with the difference between the groups at week 6 of -3.02 (95% confidence interval -5.85 to -0.19). The onabotulinumtoxinA group also showed greater improvements in urodynamic assessments. Adverse events related to onabotulinumtoxinA injections were hematuria, urinary retention, urinary bladder hemorrhage, autonomic dysreflexia and epididymitis. Most events were deemed mild or moderate. CONCLUSIONS: Intradetrusor injections of onabotulinumtoxinA are efficacious and tolerable for Japanese patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity-related symptoms that are difficult to manage with anticholinergics and/or ß3 -adrenergic receptor agonists.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To carry out an exploratory assessment of the efficacy and safety of TAS-303, a noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, in women with stress urinary incontinence. METHODS: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, early phase II study, women with stress urinary incontinence and stress urinary incontinence-predominant mixed urinary incontinence were randomized to a placebo or TAS-303 (3 or 6 mg) once daily for 8 weeks. The main efficacy end-points were mean percentage change in incontinence episode frequency per 24 h from baseline to week 8 (the primary end-point) and week 4. RESULTS: At week 8, the mean percentage change in incontinence episode frequency per 24 h was -34.73% in the TAS-303 3 mg group, -35.41% in the TAS-303 6 mg group and -28.07% in the placebo group (differences vs placebo, not significant). In patients with stress urinary incontinence, or incontinence episode frequency less than two episodes per 24 h at baseline, TAS-303 significantly reduced incontinence episode frequency versus placebo after 4 weeks; some secondary end-points also showed a tendency to improve in the same subgroups. No serious adverse events (e.g. central nervous system or cardiovascular effects) were observed; TAS-303 was well tolerated and had a favorable safety profile. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that TAS-303 is effective for improving stress urinary incontinence symptoms in some subgroups of patients with stress urinary incontinence. Therefore, further research is warranted.

RESUMO

The present article is an abridged English translation of the Japanese Clinical Guidelines for Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (second edition), published in September 2019. These guidelines consist of a total of 212 pages and are unique worldwide in that they cover female lower urinary tract symptoms other than urinary incontinence. They contain two algorithms for "primary treatment" and "specialized treatment," respectively. These guidelines, consisting of six chapters, address a total of 26 clinical questions including: (i) treatment algorithms; (ii) what are female lower urinary tract symptoms?; (iii) epidemiology and quality of life; (iv) pathology and illness; (v) diagnosis; and (vi) treatment. When the patient's symptoms mainly involve voiding and post-micturition symptoms, specialized treatment should be considered. In the event of voiding symptoms concurrent with storage symptoms, residual urine should be measured; if the residual urine volume is <100 mL, then diagnosis and treatment for storage symptoms is prioritized, and if the volume is ≥100 mL, then specialized treatment should be considered. When storage symptoms are the primary condition, then the patient is subject to the primary treatment algorithm. Specialized treatment for refractory overactive bladder includes botulinum toxin injection and sacral nerve stimulation. For stress urinary incontinence, surgical treatment is indicated, such as urethral slings. The two causes of voiding symptoms and post-micturition symptoms are lower urinary tract obstruction and detrusor underactivity (underactive bladder). Mechanical lower urinary tract obstruction, such as pelvic organ prolapse, is expected to improve with surgery.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of a novel and selective ß3-adrenoreceptor agonist vibegron on urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) in patients with overactive bladder (OAB). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A post hoc analysis was performed in patients with UUI (>0 episodes/day) who were assigned to receive vibegron or placebo in a vibegron phase 3 study. Patients were subclassified into mild/moderate (>0 to <3 UUI episodes/day) or severe UUI (≥3 UUI episodes/day) subgroup. Changes from baseline in number of UUI episodes/day, in number of urgency episodes/day, and in voided volume/micturition were compared between the groups. The percentage of patients who became UUI-free ('diary-dry' rate) and the response rate (percentage of patients with scores 1 [feeling much better] or 2 [feeling better] assessed by the Patient Global Impression scale [PGI]) were evaluated. RESULTS: Changes in numbers of UUI episodes at week 12 in the vibegron 50 mg, vibegron 100 mg and placebo groups, respectively, were -1.35, -1.47 and -1.08 in all patients, -1.04, -1.13 and -0.89 in the mild/moderate UUI subgroup, and -2.95, -3.28 and -2.10 in the severe UUI subgroup. The changes were significant in the vibegron 50 and 100 mg groups vs placebo regardless of symptom severity. Change in number of urgency episodes/day was significant in the vibegron 100 mg group vs placebo in all patients and in both severity subgroups. In the vibegron 50 mg group, a significant change vs placebo was observed in all patients and in the mild/moderate UUI subgroup. Change in voided volume/micturition was significantly greater in the vibegron 50 and 100 mg groups vs placebo in all patients, as well as in the both severity subgroups. Diary-dry rates in the vibegron 50 and 100 mg groups were significantly greater vs placebo in all patients and in the mild/moderate UUI subgroup. In the severe UUI subgroup, however, a significant difference was observed only in the vibegron 50 mg group. Response rates assessed by the PGI were significantly higher in the vibegron groups vs placebo in all patients and in the both severity subgroups. Vibegron administration, OAB duration ≤37 months, mean number of micturitions/day at baseline <12.0 and mean number of UUI episodes/day at baseline <3.0 were identified as factors significantly associated with normalization of UUI. CONCLUSIONS: Vibegron, a novel ß3-adrenoreceptor agonist, significantly reduced the number of UUI episodes/day and significantly increased the voided volume/micturition in patients with OAB including those with severe UUI, with the response rate exceeding 50%. These results suggest that vibegron can be an effective therapeutic option for OAB patients with UUI.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of smoking and the benefit of smoking cessation on lower urinary tract function and prostatic inflammation in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. METHODS: The medical records of 118 benign prostatic hyperplasia patients who underwent transurethral prostatic surgery between 2006 and 2016 were analyzed. Their smoking history was confirmed. The relationship between smoking and main clinical parameters, International Prostate Symptom Scores, uroflowmetry, pressure flow study, magnitude of prostatic inflammation and the level of serum C-reactive protein was investigated. Furthermore, the relationships between smoking cessation and these clinical parameters were assessed. RESULTS: The International Prostate Symptom Scores for straining among the non-smokers were significantly lower than those of the smokers (1.71 vs 2.60, P = 0.029). In the pressure flow study, there were negative correlations between the duration of smoking and strong desire to void (correlation coefficient -0.314, P = 0.013), urgency (correlation coefficient -0.349, P = 0.008) and bladder volume at initial detrusor overactivity (correlation coefficient -0.417, P = 0.021). The duration of smoking cessation was negatively correlated with the magnitude of chronic prostatic inflammation (correlation coefficient -0.253, P = 0.027). In the pressure flow study, the duration of smoking cessation was positively correlated with urgency (correlation coefficient 0.286, P = 0.030) and maximum cystometric capacity (correlation coefficient 0.241, P = 0.050). CONCLUSIONS: Smoking could be a risk factor for the exacerbation of storage dysfunction in benign prostatic hyperplasia patients. Smoking cessation is effective in improving chronic prostatic inflammation and storage dysfunction.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of onabotulinumtoxinA (botulinum toxin type A) 100 U in patients with overactive bladder and urinary incontinence. METHODS: This was a phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Japanese patients who were inadequately managed with overactive bladder medications (anticholinergics and/or ß3 -adrenergic receptor agonists). Eligible patients were randomized 1:1 to receive a single dose of either onabotulinumtoxinA or placebo into the detrusor muscle (n = 124 each). The primary end-point was the change in the number of daily urinary incontinence episodes at week 12 from baseline. Secondary end-points included volume voided per micturition, other symptomatic measures (urinary urgency incontinence, micturition, urgency and nocturia) and patient-reported outcomes. RESULTS: In the onabotulinumtoxinA group, there was a significantly greater decrease from baseline in the mean number of daily urinary incontinence episodes compared with the placebo group (2.16; P < 0.001), and significantly greater improvement for all secondary end-points (P < 0.05). Urinary tract infection, dysuria, urinary retention and post-void residual urine volume increased represented adverse events occurring at a higher rate in the onabotulinumtoxinA group. The majority of these were mild or moderate in severity. CONCLUSIONS: Statistically significant and clinically relevant improvements in symptoms and patient-reported outcomes, and tolerability were seen in patients with overactive bladder and urinary incontinence who had been inadequately managed with overactive bladder medications after using onabotulinumtoxinA.

RESUMO

Lymphocyte "homing", the physiologic trafficking of lymphocytes from the circulation to secondary lymphoid organs, is regulated by sequential adhesive interactions between lymphocytes and endothelial cells that constitute high endothelial venules (HEVs). Initial lymphocyte "rolling" is mediated by relatively weak, transient adhesive interactions between L-selectin expressed on lymphocytes and sulfated mucin-type O-glycans expressed on HEVs. Keratan sulfate galactose (Gal)-6-O-sulfotransferase (KSGal6ST) catalyzes 6-O-sulfation of Gal in keratan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains but also transfers sulfate to Gal in much shorter glycan chains, such as sialylated N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc)-capped O-glycans. In mice, KSGal6ST is reportedly expressed in HEVs and functions in synthesizing 6-sulfo Gal-containing O-glycans on HEVs. However, in humans, the presence of 6-sulfo Gal-containing O-glycans on HEVs is not reported. Employing the newly developed monoclonal antibody 297-11A, which recognizes non-sialylated terminal 6'-sulfo LacNAc, we demonstrate that sialyl 6'-sulfo (and/or 6,6'-disulfo) LacNAc-capped O-glycans are preferentially displayed on HEVs in human peripheral lymph nodes (PLNs) and to a lesser extent in mesenteric LNs (MLNs) but not in Peyer's patches (PPs). We also found that the scaffold protein mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule 1 (MAdCAM-1), which is expressed on HEVs in PPs and MLNs but not PLNs, was modified by 297-11A-positive sulfated glycans less efficiently than was CD34. Moreover, 297-11A-positive sulfated glycans were also displayed on HEV-like vessels induced in tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) aggregates formed in various cancers. These findings collectively indicate that 297-11A-positive sulfated glycans potentially play a role in physiologic lymphocyte homing as well as in lymphocyte recruitment under pathologic conditions.

RESUMO

AIMS: We evaluated the relationship between body mass index (BMI), including low BMI, and nocturia in Japanese women. METHODS: We collected data on 18 952 women who participated in a multiphasic health screening in Fukui, Japan, in 2006. The participants were asked to report any current or previous disease. Self-reported current body weight and height were used to calculate the BMI. We analyzed the relationship between nocturia, as assessed by a questionnaire, and other variables including age, BMI, and comorbidities. RESULTS: The participants' mean age was 60.6 years. Overall, the prevalence of nocturia (two or more voids/night) was 4.3% and increased in an age-dependent manner. BMI did not affect nocturia in the young participants. The prevalence of nocturia was higher in the high-BMI women (>25.0 kg/m 2 ) in their fifth and sixth decades, but the prevalence was higher in the low-BMI (<18.5 kg/m 2 ) in the women more than 80-years old. A multivariate analysis revealed a significant association between nocturia and the following: age, BMI, sleep disturbance, arteriosclerosis, cerebrovascular disease, chronic pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. Not only high BMI (which is already reported as a risk of nocturia) but also low BMI was a factor related to nocturia. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that in addition to obesity, low BMI is a factor of nocturia in women.

RESUMO

AIM: Chronic prostatic inflammation is a critical factor that exacerbates lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level is one of the most common markers with which to assess the degree of inflammation, and it has been reported to be related to the severity of LUTS. However, it is not clear whether the CRP level is linked to the magnitude of prostatic inflammation. We evaluated the relationship between the serum CRP level and the magnitude of prostatic inflammation and assessed the influence of CRP on the severity of LUTS. METHODS: We evaluated the tissue specimens of 121 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients who underwent surgery for BPH and preoperative measurement of the serum CRP level. We quantified the magnitude of prostatic inflammation histologically by determining the number of high endothelial venule (HEV)-like vessels and assessed the relationship between the serum CRP level and the HEV-like vessels. We divided the patients into two groups based on the median serum CRP level and compared the clinical parameters of the two groups. RESULTS: The serum CRP level was correlated with the overactive bladder symptom score, whereas it was not correlated with the number of HEV-like vessels. In filling cystometry and pressure-flow study, the proportion of patients with detrusor overactivity in the higher-CRP group was higher than that in the lower-CRP group. CONCLUSIONS: Our present study showed that the serum CRP level was significantly associated with storage dysfunction; in contrast, it was not a surrogate marker of prostatic inflammation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To elucidate the mechanism of action of the α1 -blocker, naftopidil, in partial bladder outlet obstruction animals, by studying non-voiding contractions, and the levels of mediators were measured with resiniferatoxin treatment. METHODS: A total of 35 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into a sham or bladder outlet obstruction group, and rats in each group were given vehicle or resiniferatoxin. Incomplete urethral ligation was applied to the bladder outlet obstruction group. After cystometry, the intravesical level of prostaglandin E2 and adenosine 5'-triphosphate was measured in the instilled perfusate collected. Naftopidil was given at the time of cystometry. RESULTS: In bladder outlet obstruction rats, non-voiding contractions, bladder capacity, and the intravesical levels of prostaglandin E2 and adenosine 5'-triphosphate were markedly increased compared with sham rats. Naftopidil decreased non-voiding contractions, enlarged the bladder capacity, and decreased the intravesical levels of prostaglandin E2 and adenosine 5'-triphosphate. Resiniferatoxin enhanced non-voiding contractions. The effects of naftopidil on non-voiding contractions and the intravesical level of prostaglandin E2 , but not adenosine 5'-triphosphate, were tolerant to resiniferatoxin. CONCLUSIONS: In bladder outlet obstruction rats, one cause of generation of non-voiding contractions might be bladder wall distension, but not transient receptor potential cation channel V1. The increase in intravesical prostaglandin E2 might also be associated with the generation of non-voiding contractions. Naftopidil inhibits the increase in non-voiding contractions and decreases the intravesical level of prostaglandin E2 , which are independent of transient receptor potential cation channel V1.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the efficacy of vibegron on nocturia in patients with overactive bladder. METHODS: Among the Japanese overactive bladder patients enrolled in the placebo-controlled, multicenter, randomized, double-blind phase 3 study of vibegron, a total of 669 patients with nocturia (≥1 nocturnal void) were included. Changes from baseline in micturition parameters were compared for vibegron treatment (50 and 100 mg/day) versus placebo. Correlations of hours of undisturbed sleep with the frequency of nocturnal voiding and the volume of the first nocturnal voiding were examined. Demographics and baseline characteristics contributing to reduction in the frequency of nocturnal voiding were also analyzed. RESULTS: At week 12, the frequency of nocturnal voiding was reduced from baseline by 0.74 and 0.78, respectively, for the vibegron 50 and 100 mg groups; the reductions were significant when compared with the placebo group (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively). The mean volume of nocturnal voids and the volume of the first nocturnal voiding were significantly greater in the vibegron groups than in the placebo group. The vibegron groups showed significant correlations of hours of undisturbed sleep with the changes in the frequency of nocturnal voiding and in the volume of the first nocturnal voiding. Vibegron treatment, no previous treatment with anticholinergics, ≥12 voids per day and hours of undisturbed sleep <180 min significantly contributed to a reduction in the frequency of nocturnal voiding. CONCLUSIONS: Vibegron is a useful therapeutic option for improving nocturia in patients with overactive bladder.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the long-term safety (primary objective) and efficacy (secondary objective) of antimuscarinic add-on therapy in patients receiving mirabegron. METHODS: During a 2-week screening period, patients (aged ≥20 years, mirabegron treatment for ≥6 weeks, residual overactive bladder symptoms) received mirabegron 50 mg once daily. These patients were subsequently randomized to 52 weeks' treatment with mirabegron 50 mg/day plus an antimuscarinic (solifenacin 5 mg, propiverine 20 mg, imidafenacin 0.2 mg, or tolterodine 4 mg) with the potential to double the antimuscarinic dose (except for tolterodine) at week 8. Safety assessments included treatment-emergent adverse events, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiograms, post-void residual volume, and laboratory evaluations. Efficacy was assessed using changes from baseline in overactive bladder symptom score total score; overactive bladder questionnaire short form score; micturitions, urgency episodes, urinary incontinence episodes, and urgency urinary incontinence episodes/24 h; mean volume voided per micturition; and number of night-time micturitions. RESULTS: Overall, 80.2% of patients (88.1% women, mean age 65 years) experienced at least one treatment-emergent adverse event, with similar rates for all treatments. The adverse events most commonly reported were dry mouth, nasopharyngitis, and constipation. No marked change was observed in systolic or diastolic blood pressure for any treatment, although pulse rate increased slightly in the mirabegron and propiverine, and mirabegron and tolterodine groups. For all treatments, significant improvements were observed in all efficacy parameters, including overactive bladder symptom score total and questionnaire short form scores. CONCLUSIONS: Antimuscarinic add-on therapy is well tolerated and effective after initial treatment with mirabegron in patients with overactive bladder symptoms.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urologic disease in older men. Prostatic inflammation research has focused on the magnitude of inflammation; its location has received little attention. We investigated whether the anatomic location of prostatic inflammation is related to the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), measured subjectively and objectively. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed hematoxylin+eosin-stained tissue specimens from 179 BPH patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). Chronic prostatic inflammation was assessed by the grade (lymphocyte density), extent (lymphocyte distribution), and location of inflammation. Each inflammation-finding type was evaluated in relation to these clinical parameters: age, prostate volume, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value, body mass index (BMI), the frequency of acute urinary retention (AUR) episodes, the international prostatic symptom score (IPSS), and urodynamic study results. RESULTS: The magnitude and extent of inflammation were not associated with any clinical parameters. We classified the BPH patients into stromal (n = 72) versus non-stromal (n = 105) groups based on their inflammation's dominant location. The stromal group's prostatic volume was significantly larger than the non-stromal group's (63.8 vs 53.8 mL; P = 0.032). AUR episodes were more significantly frequent in the stromal group (36.1% vs 11.4%; P = 0.006). Between-group differences in storage parameters (ie, maximum cystometric capacity) in the urodynamic study were not significantly different. Voiding parameters differed significantly between the stromal and non-stromal groups: maximum detrusor pressure (maxPdet) (116.8 vs 94.5 cmH2 O, P = 0.014), Pdet at the maximum flow rate (Qmax) (95.8 vs 75.4 cmH2 O, P = 0.014), and the bladder outlet obstruction index (BOOI) (78.5 vs 56.3, P = 0.014). The stromal group's Qmax was significantly lower than the non-stromal group's (7.3 vs 9.8 mL/s, P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: The location of inflammation in the prostate might be an important factor affecting the severity of LUTS, especially voiding dysfunction.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess fesoterodine treatment in elderly women with overactive bladder with and without hypertension. METHODS: Data for 2527 elderly women with overactive bladder symptoms, including urgency urinary incontinence, were pooled from 10 double-blind, placebo-controlled fesoterodine studies. RESULTS: A total of 1523 elderly women (60.3%) had a history of hypertension, and 1004 women (39.7%) had no hypertension history. Overactive bladder symptoms, mean bodyweight and mean body mass index at baseline were significantly higher in women with overactive bladder and hypertension versus those without hypertension (P < 0.05). Statistically significant improvements in overactive bladder symptoms at week 12 were observed for fesoterodine treatment versus placebo in women with hypertension and those without (P < 0.05). The diary-dry rate (no urgency urinary incontinence episodes), the proportion with less than eight micturitions/24 h, overactive bladder symptom bother and health-related quality of life were also statistically significantly improved by fesoterodine treatment in both populations. Incidence of treatment-related adverse events with fesoterodine was similar in women with hypertension (39.3%) and without hypertension (44.6%). Dry mouth and constipation were the most common treatment-related adverse events with fesoterodine in women with hypertension (26.2% and 5.2%, respectively) and without hypertension (30.5% and 8.0%). CONCLUSIONS: A relationship among the severity of overactive bladder symptoms, hypertension and obesity in elderly women is suggested. Fesoterodine provides significantly greater improvements in overactive bladder symptoms and health-related quality of life versus placebo in women with or without hypertension. Hypertension does not appear to affect the efficacy and safety of fesoterodine in elderly women with overactive bladder symptoms, including urgency urinary incontinence.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether early changes in International Prostate Symptom Score predict final improvement in the quality of life and treatment satisfaction of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia receiving tadalafil. METHODS: This post-hoc analysis of three randomized-controlled trials of tadalafil for lower urinary tract symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia used subpopulations based on treatment status (tadalafil, placebo) and region (Japan, Asia). Logistic regression, principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis were applied to individual International Prostate Symptom Score and Patient Global Impression of Improvement response scores. RESULTS: From logistic regression, most individual International Prostate Symptom Score items predicted either International Prostate Symptom Score remitter or responder status; only International Prostate Symptom Score Quality of Life predicted Patient Global Impression of Improvement responder status in tadalafil-treated patients. Among tadalafil-treated patients, principal component analysis showewd that improvement of International Prostate Symptom Score items 2, 4, 7 and International Prostate Symptom Score Quality of Life at early visits were associated with Patient Global Impression of Improvement (final visit), whereas International Prostate Symptom Score items 1, 3, 5 and 6 at early visits were associated with total International Prostate Symptom Score at the final visit. No clear predictive items for Patient Global Impression of Improvement and total International Prostate Symptom Score existed for placebo-treated patients. Hierarchical clustering analysis showed that the closest association was between International Prostate Symptom Score Quality of Life and International Prostate Symptom Score item 7 in placebo- and tadalafil-treated patients, which supports the principal component analysis results. CONCLUSIONS: Early changes of storage and voiding symptoms by tadalafil might lead to treatment satisfaction and overall International Prostate Symptom Score improvement, respectively. This finding could help physicians predict tadalafil treatment outcomes for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To show the efficacy of propiverine hydrochloride in the management of symptoms of stress urinary incontinence in female patients with mixed-type urinary incontinence. METHODS: The study was carried out as a multicenter single-arm clinical trial at 64 institutions in Japan. The participants were female patients aged ≥20 years with mixed-type urinary incontinence. The frequency of stress urinary incontinence and urgency urinary incontinence was evaluated at baseline and 4, 8 and 12 weeks after treatment with propiverine hydrochloride. Subjective symptoms were evaluated using the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form. Functional urethral length and maximum urethral closing pressure were also measured at baseline and 12 weeks after treatment at the institutions where the urethral pressure profile was taken. RESULTS: In total, 49 mixed-type urinary incontinence patients were enrolled in the present study. The number of cases of urgency urinary incontinence was reduced time-dependently, which showed statistically significant differences between baseline and 4, 8 and 12 weeks after treatment. A similar statistically different reduction was also observed for stress urinary incontinence. The mean reduction rates of urgency urinary incontinence and stress urinary incontinence at 12 weeks after treatment were 63.9% and 44.3%, respectively. The total scores of International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form and Overactive Bladder Symptom Score were gradually reduced, and the differences were statistically significant. Functional urethral length and maximum urethral closing pressure at 12 weeks after treatment did not show any statistical differences compared with those at baseline. CONCLUSIONS: Propiverine hydrochloride can be an effective therapeutic option for stress urinary incontinence in patients with mixed-type urinary incontinence.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chronic prostatic inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)-associated lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Previous studies evaluated the degree of chronic prostatic inflammation based on histological scores, which may contain subjective factors. We previously demonstrated that the number of high endothelial venule (HEV)-like vessels correlates positively with the magnitude of inflammation in chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases. Here, we evaluated the degree of BPH-associated chronic prostate inflammation based on appearance of HEV-like vessels and determined whether the extent of inflammation correlated with LUTS severity, as evaluated by a urodynamic study. METHODS: Eighty-six BPH tissue specimens derived from patients who had undergone urodynamic analysis were immunostained for CD34 and MECA-79 to determine HEV-like vessel number. Triple immunohistochemistry for either CD3 and CD20 or CD4 and CD8, together with MECA-79, was conducted to identify lymphocyte subsets associated with HEV-like vessels. We also determined whether the magnitude of chronic prostatic inflammation, as assessed by HEV-like vessel number, correlated with the degree of LUTS. RESULTS: HEV-like vessels were induced in lymphoid aggregates seen frequently in BPH. The number of HEV-like vessels positively correlated not only with the magnitude of chronic prostatic inflammation but also with the degree of LUTS, particularly with symptoms associated with voiding function, which was measured objectively in a pressure flow study. CONCLUSIONS: Chronic prostate inflammation may promote BPH and resulting voiding dysfunction. Assessment of the number of HEV-like vessels could be a surrogate for identifying the degree of chronic prostatic inflammation. Prostate 77:794-802, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The objective of this multicenter cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship of nocturnal polyuria in patients with common lifestyle related diseases and overactive bladder, with special attention to hypertension. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After baseline assessment, patients recorded 24-hour urinary frequency/volume, blood pressure and heart rate for 3 days. They were stratified into 4 groups based on mean blood pressure, including no hypertension, and controllable, untreated and uncontrolled hypertension, respectively. RESULTS: The 2,353 eligible patients, who had urinary urgency once or more per week and 1 or more nocturnal toilet visits, were enrolled from 543 sites in Japan. Of these patients complete data, including the 24-hour frequency volume chart, were collected from 1,271. Multivariable analyses showed a statistically significant association of nocturnal polyuria with increasing age (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.05, p <0.001) and gender (women vs men OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.59-0.96, p = 0.02), and for controllable (OR 1.10, 95% CI 0.83-1.460), untreated (OR 2.62, 95% CI 1.55-4.45) and uncontrolled (OR 1.15, 95% CI 0.81-1.62) hypertension vs no hypertension (p = 0.005). However, when assessed separately in men and women, hypertension and heart rate were significantly associated with nocturnal polyuria in women alone (p = 0.01 and 0.03, respectively). Lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia were significantly associated with nocturnal polyuria in men alone (p <0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The current study demonstrates that nocturnal polyuria was significantly associated with age, male gender, and untreated hypertension in patients with lifestyle related diseases and overactive bladder. The association between hypertension and nocturnal polyuria was significant in women alone.
