Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Among pharmacological treatments for overactive bladder (OAB), vibegron, a beta3-adrenoceptor agonist, has been reported to be associated with few adverse events and to be suitable for long-term administration. In clinical practice, however, many patients whose symptoms improve subsequently discontinue treatment, and we occasionally encounter cases in which symptoms do not immediately recur after discontinuation. This sustained symptom relief, hereafter referred to as a carry-over effect, has been reported for other agents, but there are no published data regarding vibegron. In particular, no study has prospectively evaluated the carry-over effect of beta3-adrenoceptor agonist therapy from the initiation of treatment.

The aim of the present study is to prospectively evaluate, in real-world clinical practice, the carry-over effect after discontinuation of vibegron therapy in female patients with OAB.

The findings of this study are expected to help establish evidence-based guidance to avoid unnecessary continuation of pharmacotherapy after symptom improvement and to contribute to reductions in healthcare expenditures.

Interventions/Control_1

After completion of the initial assessment, oral vibegron will be started. After at least 12 weeks of treatment, patients will be re-evaluated, and if the OABSS has improved by 3 or more points, discontinuation of vibegron will be proposed. Patients will return 4 weeks after discontinuation, at which time the appropriateness of maintaining discontinuation will be assessed. If symptom recurrence is observed and the patient wishes to resume treatment, vibegron will be re-prescribed at that time.
