Abstract

This study compared the efficacy and safety of mirabegron and onabotulinumtoxinA in the management of treatment-experienced patients with overactive bladder. The network meta-analysis was based on evidence from a systematic literature review of randomized controlled trials and a post-hoc analysis of treatment-experienced subpopulations from mirabegron studies. Nineteen trials described in 21 publications were included. Overall, compared to mirabegron, there was some evidence that onabotulinumtoxinA was associated with improved outcomes, including reductions in the number of micturitions in a 24-hour period, and the number of incontinence episodes. However, mirabegron was associated with a lower risk of urinary tract infections compared with onabotulinumtoxinA.
