Delbert Rudy, M.D. North Texas Clinical Research, Urology Associates of North Texas Arlington, Texas Time to Onset of Improvement in Symptoms of OAB
Definition: Time To Onset of Action The simple pharmacokinetic “serum levels” or something more complicated? First notice or separation from placebo?
How Do We Measure Time to Onset of Improvement? Steady state serum levels versus symptom assessment Methods Symptom Assessment • Patient diary • Physician/patient interview • Physician documentation • Patient awareness • Score or scale • Metrics • Efficacy • Urgency • Incontinence episodes • Frequency of voids • Voided volume • Tolerability • Dry mouth • Constipation • Blurry vision • CNS related side-effects • Safety
2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Pharmacokinetics With Repeated Dosing • Steady State • Attained after approximately four half-times • Time to steady state independent of dosage • Fluctuations • Proportional to dosage interval/half-time • Blunted by slow absorption • Steady-state Concentrations • Proportional to dose/dosage interval • Proportional to CL/F Time (multiples of elimination half-time)

Study: Solifenacin vs. Placebo2 Symptoms: Urgency episodes; nocturia episodes; micturition frequency; mean volume voids Methods: Micturition diary Efficacy Records: 4, 8, 12 weeks Study: Darifenacin vs. Placebo3 Symptoms: Incontinence episodes, frequency and severity of urgency, voiding frequency, volume voided Methods: Electronic patient diary Efficacy Records: 12 weeks Study: Tolderodine ER vs Placebo4 Symptoms: Urgency episodes, incontinence episodes, micturition frequency Methods: Micturition diary and measures of patients’/physicians’ perceptions of improvement Efficacy Records: 1, 4, 12 weeks Studies Assessing Time to Onset of Improvement in Symptoms of OAB Study: OPERA: Oxybutynin ER vs Tolterodine ER1 Symptoms: UUI episodes; total incontinence; micturition frequency Methods: Urinary diary Efficacy Records: 4, 8, 12 weeks OAB therapies have been proven effective in improving OAB symptoms, but what is the time of onset of action? 1.Diokno et al..Mayo Clin Proc. 2003.Jun;78(6):687-95. 2.Cardozo et al.

Time to Onset of Improvement in Symptoms of OAB Using Antimuscarinic Treatment • Trospium chloride demonstrated statistically significant improvements in efficacy over placebo within a few days of treatment, with improvements in symptoms continuing to 7 days of treatment in endpoints: • toilet voids • urgency severity/void • UUI episodes • OAB-SCS • Clinically meaningful improvements in many endpoints by the end of the first week Rudy D. BJUInternational. 2006;97:540-546.
Conclusions • Rapid onset of effect should be encouraging but not definitive • Full treatment effect should be expected to take several weeks, perhaps even more than 12 #13
