In the 12-week phase 3 EMPOWUR trial, vibegron significantly reduced micturitions, urgency episodes, and urge urinary incontinence (UUI) episodes vs placebo (P<0.01, each). These analyses used an anchor-based approach to interpret the meaningfulness of symptom reduction with the patient global impression of change (PGI-C). Materials & Methods: Median change from baseline (CFB) at week 12 in micturitions, urgency episodes, and UUI episodes was generated for each PGI-C category, pooled across treatments. Percentages of patients achieving these reductions in symptoms were determined. Results: Patients who experienced greater CFB at week 12 in each endpoint reported greater improvement in PGI-C. Median reductions from baseline in OAB endpoints pooled across treatment groups were higher than thresholds patients perceived as improved based on PGI-C: ≥15% reduction in micturitions (moderately better; Figure 1 ), ≥50% reduction in urgency episodes (much better; Figure 2 ), and ≥90% reduction in UUI episodes (much better; similar to ≥75% reduction seen in EMPOWUR [PGI-C: moderately better]; Figure 3 ). Significantly more patients receiving vibegron vs. placebo achieved these reductions (P<0.05, each). Conclusions: Significantly more patients treated with vibegron vs. placebo in EMPOWUR achievedmeaningful reductions inmicturitions and urgency/ UUI episodes that were associated with patient-perceived improvement.
