Toviaz(Pfizer) success in Overactive Bladder in Older Patients Kidney and Urological Diseases Page
Toviaz (fesoterodine fumarate) from Pfizer has met its primary endpoint in Study A0221049.This was a 12 week trial which enrolled 562 patients aged 65 or older who were randomised to either fesoterodine or placebo. Toviaz was found to be statistically significantly superior to placebo in reducing the mean number of urgency urinary incontinence episodes per day at the end of treatment for Overactive Bladder. While the prevalence of overactive bladder increases with age, limited research has been conducted in older individuals with this condition. Toviaz, a muscarinic antagonist, is approved in both the USA and EU to treat the symptoms of Overactive Bladder.
FDA approves Anturol (Watson Pharma) for Overactive Bladder treatment Kidney and Urological Diseases Page
FDA has approved Anturol (oxybutynin) from Antares Pharma/Watson Pharma as a topical gel 3% for the treatment of Overactive Bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency. The active ingredient is delivered transdermally, and not metabolized by the liver in the same way as orally administered oxybutynin. This results in a low level of side effects, such as dry mouth and constipation. Under an exclusive licensing agreement, Watson anticipates launching the product in 2012.
