Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
The Number of Subjects Reporting Incidence of Dry Mouth as an Adverse Event
The number of subjects reporting incidence of dry mouth as an adverse event (AE) following direct questioning at each patient follow-up visit
8 weeks
The Severity of Dry Mouth Reported as an Adverse Event
The number of subjects reporting dry mouth at each severity level when dry mouth was reported as an Adverse Event (AE). Dry mouth severity was categorized as "mild" (relieved with fluid/hard candy), "moderate" (dry mouth and throat with no difficulty swallowing solid food/water) \& "severe" (very dry mouth \& throat, difficulty swallowing solid food without water)
8 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Change From Baseline in Micturition Frequency as Reported in Subject 3-day Diary
Baseline and 8 Weeks
Change From Baseline in Urgency Episodes as Reported in Subject 3-day Diary
Baseline and 8 weeks
Study Arms (2)
Solifenacin
EXPERIMENTALSolifenacin succinate: 5 mg tablets, taken orally, once daily
Oxybutynin IR
ACTIVE COMPARATOROxybutynin Immediate Release: 5 mg capsules, taken orally, 3 times a day
Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Adults 18 years and older.
- Overactive bladder symptoms for greater than or equal to 3 months and as documented in a 3-day patient diary following screening and preceding baseline visit: \> 1 urge episodes/24 hours (average); greater than or equal to 8 micturitions/24 hours (average)
You may not qualify if:
- Urinary tract infection, chronic inflammation such as interstitial cystitis and bladder stones
- Clinically significant outflow obstruction
- Uncontrolled narrow angle glaucoma, urinary, or gastric retention
- Severe renal or hepatic impairment

Limitations and Caveats
The relatively high incidence of AEs, specifically dry mouth, in both groups may be a result of the direct questioning methodology used. Subjects were also informed the primary objectives were the relative frequency and severity of dry mouth.
