Bringing Simple Urge Incontinence Diagnosis & Treatment to Providers (BRIDGES)

Summary

Six hundred and thirty-six women diagnosed with urge urinary incontinence (UUI) by a three-item self-administered questionnaire (3IQ) will be randomized to 12 weeks of fesoterodine or matching placebo. The study will take place at up to 14 clinical sites in the US. All participants who complete the 12-week randomized trial will be offered open-label fesoterodine for an additional 9 months. The hypothesis of the randomized controlled trial is that among women diagnosed with urge incontinence using the 3IQ, fesoterodine is more effective than placebo in reducing the mean number of urge incontinence episodes per day.
