PG - 249-56 LID - S0302-2838(13)00355-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.eururo.2013.04.001 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome with urinary incontinence (UI) is prevalent in the population and impairs health-related quality of life (HRQOL). OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact on efficacy, safety, and HRQOL of onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX((R)), Allergan, Inc.) treatment in patients with OAB with UI. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This pivotal, multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study enrolled patients with idiopathic OAB with >/= 3 urgency UI episodes over 3 d and >/= 8 micturitions per day who were inadequately managed by anticholinergics. INTERVENTION: OnabotulinumtoxinA at a 100U dose (n=277) or placebo (n=271), administered as 20 intradetrusor injections of 0.5 ml. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Co-primary end points were change from baseline in the number of UI episodes per day and proportion of patients reporting positive treatment response on the treatment benefit scale (TBS) at week 12. Additional end points included other OAB symptoms (episodes of urinary urgency incontinence, micturition, urgency, and nocturia) and HRQOL (Incontinence Quality of Life [I-QOL], King's Health Questionnaire [KHQ]). Safety assessments included adverse events (AEs), postvoid residual (PVR) urine volume, and initiation of clean intermittent catheterisation (CIC). RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: OnabotulinumtoxinA significantly decreased UI episodes per day at week 12 (-2.95 for onabotulinumtoxinA versus -1.03 for placebo; p<0.001). Reductions from baseline in all other OAB symptoms were also significantly greater following onabotulinumtoxinA compared with placebo (p
