OVERACTIVE BLADDER May 2016
OAB Syndrome: Definition International Continence Society: • Symptom syndrome: lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction • Urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency & nocturia • No proven infection / other obvious pathology 2 Abrams P, et al, NeurourolUrodyn, 2002; 21: 167-178 / Wein AJ, et al, Urology, 2002; 60 (suppl 5A); 7-12
Bladder: Anatomy Ureter Serosa Detrusor Ureteric opening Mucosa Trigone Neck Urethra
Physiology of micturition IS: internal sphincter ES: external sphincter
Symptoms of urinary incontinence… Sudden urge to urinate that's difficult to control Awaken 2 or more times in night to urinate (nocturia) Urinate frequently, usually 8 or more times in 24 hrs Involuntary loss of urine Significantly impacts QoL 1. Minassian VA, et al. Obstet Gynecol. 2008 Feb;111(2 Pt 1):324-31/ OAB symptom ref: Mayo clinic

Urinary incontinence Urge Urinary Incontinence Urine loss accompanied by urgency resulting from abdominal bladder contractions Sudden in intra-abdominal pressure Stress Urinary Incontinence Uninhibited detrusor contractions Urine loss resulting from sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure Urethral pressure 7
OAB: Treatment Goals • Eliminate or in urinary urge incontinence • urgency & frequency episodes • Ensure treatment compliance: long-term benefits • Meet patients treatment expectations 8 Hegde SS. Br J Pharmacol. 2006;147 (suppl 2):S80-S87, Staskin DR, et al, Am J Med.2006;119 (suppl 3A):9S-15S, Marschall-Kehrel D, et al. Urology, 2006, 68 (suppl 2A), Brubaker L, et al Urology.2006;68(suppl 2A) 3-8
OAB: Management • Behavioral therapies • Pharmacology therapy • Combined pharmacologic & behavioral therapy provides improved outcomes Fluid strategies Timed voiding 9 Mattiasson A. Urology. 2000;55(suppl 5a):12-13, Mattiasson A. Neuro Urodyn. 2001;20:403-404, Burgio et al. JAGS. 2000;48:370-374.

Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises Stress UI management includes PFMEs, more commonly known as Kegel exercises PFMEs facilitate continence by increasing strength, endurance, and contractibility of the pelvic muscles, which support the bladder neck, contribute to optimal anatomical positioning of the urethra, and facilitate neuromuscular control necessary for continence Women Teach PFMEs during the pelvic examination Instruct the patient to squeeze (contract) her vaginal muscles around the examiner’s gloved hand Men During the rectal examination, male patients are instructed to squeeze the rectal muscles

OAB: Pharmacotherapy Drug therapy: becoming increasingly important & currently mainstay in treatment for OAB Antimuscarinic agents: Gold standard 23 Mattiasson A. Urology. 2000;55(suppl 5a):12-13, Mattiasson A. Neuro Urodyn. 2001;20:403-404, Burgio et al. JAGS. 2000;48:370-374.
Anticholinergic agents have been 1st line treatment for OAB for many years, efficacious pharmacologic management of this condition has been compromised by concerns regarding tolerability - Hesch K. Proc (BaylUniv Med Cent) 2007; 20(3): 307–314.

Ideal muscarinic receptor antagonist • Efficacious: • Inhibits involuntary bladder contractions • Does not adversely affect voluntary detrusor activity • Organ selective: • Preferentially affects bladder over other organs • Minimal side effects & improves tolerability • Tolerable: • Improves compliance 34
A drug with selectivity for muscarinic M3 receptor, subtype primarily responsible for mediating human detrusor contraction might be effective in treating OAB symptoms & with narrower side-effect profile
Darifenacin • Darifenacin hydrobromide: Novel highly selective M3 receptor antagonist • 59-fold higher affinity for M3 receptors Approved: US FDA 2004 • M1/M2 receptor sparing profile • Low incidence: Dry mouth & constipation • No impairment of cardiac function • No significant effect on cognitive function • No CNS safety concerns • AE withdrawal rates similar to placebo 36 Chapple CR. Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 2004 Nov;13(11):1493-500.
Darifenacin targets M3receptor in vitro M3 M1 over 9-fold greater M3 receptors in bladder are primarily responsible for detrusor contraction2* M3 M2 over 59-fold greater M3 receptors involved in GI smooth muscle contraction, saliva production & iris sphincter function2+ *Dry mouth, constipation & abnormal vision may be mediated through effects on M3 receptors +Muscarinic M3 receptors are also found in other tissues but their role at these locations is as yet unclear 1.

Darifenacin: MOA Darifenacin blocks muscarinic receptors in bladder & Reduces unnecessary bladder voiding 39
Darifenacin: Dosage and Administration • For oral use • Adults (≥ 18 years): • Starting dose 7.5 mg daily, after 2 weeks of therapy, should be reassessed • For greater symptom relief, dose may be increased to 15 mg daily • Darifenacin should be taken OD • Elderly patients (≥ 65 years): • Starting dose 7.5 mg daily, after 2 weeks of therapy, to be reassessed • Patients who have acceptable tolerability profile but require greater symptom relief, dose may be increased to 15 mg daily 40
