Summary

This trial will compare two treatments for women with UUI: an oral medication or injections. Patients will be followed for 12 months to measure satisfaction & symptom severity.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women at least 18 years old who are significantly bothered by urgency urinary incontinence, have tried and not benefited from standard treatments, and are not pregnant. They must be willing to stop certain medications before joining the study. Women with mixed symptoms can join if their stress urinary incontinence is less bothersome and stable.
What is being tested?
The trial compares two treatments for urgency urinary incontinence: an oral medication called a beta3-agonist (Mirabegron/Vibegron) versus Botox injections. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these treatments and monitored over 12 months, focusing on treatment satisfaction and symptom severity after 3 months.
What are the potential side effects?
Beta3-agonists may cause high blood pressure, headache, or cold-like symptoms. Botox could lead to urinary tract infections, difficulty urinating requiring temporary catheterization, or rarely generalized muscle weakness.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Beta-3 receptor agonist oral medicationActive Control1 Intervention
Selective beta-3 receptor agonist oral medication approved for the treatment of urgency urinary incontinence including mirabegron or vibegron.
