Treatment of overactive bladder can be more complex in the context of benign prostatic hyperplasia, but a new trial met primary and secondary endpoints.

"Vibegron was associated with significant reductions in daily micturition and urgency episodes, as well as our secondary endpoints," David R. Staskin, MD, an associate professor of urology at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, told attendees."Symptoms really did improve compared to placebo as early as week 2."

However, treating overactive bladder symptoms in patients undergoing benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment is more complex because benign prostatic hyperplasia itself can contribute to overactive bladder symptoms, said Kara Watts, MD, an associate professor of urology at Montefiore Einstein in New York City, who was not involved in the new research.
