The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, Mirabegron, is safe and effective in treating symptoms of Overactive Bladder in people with Parkinson's Disease.
This study is a randomized 1:1 placebo-controlled 10-week study of Mirabegron as add-on therapy to an educational intervention of behavioral modification including pelvic floor exercise (PFE) in a cohort of 40 Parkinson's subjects over the age of 30 with overactive bladder (OAB). Active drug will be Mirabegron 25 mg daily with up-titration to 50 mg daily after 5 weeks. Subjects will be enrolled based on response to an overactive bladder questionnaire at visit 2.

Enrolled subjects will have 4 study visits to the clinic as well as 2 phone visits.

Enrolled subjects will be asked to record urinary symptoms and pelvic floor exercises in a diary at 3 separate time points for a 72 hour period.

Drug Mirabegron

25 mg po daily for 32-40 days. Following up-titration to 50 mg po daily. This is pending no adverse events on the 25 mg dose.

  • Other names: Mirabetriq

Drug Placebo

Placebo 25 mg po daily. Following up-titration to 50 mg po daily. This is pending no adverse events on the 25 mg dose.

  • Other names: sugar pill

Mirabegron Active Comparator

1:1 randomization to receive Mirabegron 25 mg daily or placebo at visit 2. At visit 3 all subjects who have tolerated Mirabegron 25 mg daily (no adverse events on this dose) will be up-titrated to Mirabegron 50 mg daily. This will be dispensed as two 25mg tablets or, for those in the placebo arm, two placebo tablets.

Placebo Placebo Comparator

1:1 randomization to receive Mirabegron 25 mg daily or placebo at visit 2. At visit 3 all subjects who have tolerated Mirabegron 25 md daily (no adverse events on this dose) will be up-titrated to Mirabegron 50 mg daily. This will be dispensed as two 25mg tablets or , for those in the placebo arm, two placebo tablets.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:-

Diagnosis of Parkinsons by United Kingdom brain bank criteria
Age > 30 years old
No change in Parkinsons medications during the 4 weeks preceding screening, with no dose changes during the study, except that PRN (as needed) doses of carbidopa/levodopa will be allowed to address periodic worsening of parkinsonian symptoms.
Patient willing and able to complete micturition diary
Urinary urgency (≥ 8 entries of bladder urgency score > 2) in 72hr voiding diary during screening period
Micturition frequency ≥ 8 / 24hr or incontinence ≥ 2 episodes in 72hr voiding diary during screening period
Use of other medication that could influence bladder function, other than those specifically prohibited (see below), will be permitted as long as the dose is stable for 4 weeks preceding screening, with no dose changes during the study.
Patient expects to have valid health insurance for the duration of the study period

Exclusion Criteria:

Women who are breast-feeding, pregnant or have potential to become pregnant during the course of the study (fertile and unwilling/unable to use effective contraceptive measures).

Intravesical botulinum toxin treatment within the previous six months of screening.
Presence of Interstim device
Use of indwelling catheter or self-catheterization
Concurrent use of thioridazine, flecainide, propafenone, or Digoxin
Concurrent use of warfarin (Coumadin)
Use of one of the anti-cholinergic bladder medications specified below within 14 days of the screening visit. Subjects who have used one of these medications in the past but discontinued it at least 14 days prior to the screening visit can be enrolled.
Screening estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60, AST ( aspartate aminotransferase ) or ALT ( alanine aminotransferase ) > 2x upper limit of normal
Any other serious and/or unstable medical condition

Change in the Mean Daily Overactive Bladder-Symptom Composite Score.

The primary outcome measure will be the change in the mean daily Overactive Bladder-Symptom Composite Score (OAB-SCS) from baseline (visit 2) to visit 4. The Over active Bladder- Symptom Composite Score requires subjects to record the severity of urgency of each micturition over a 72 hour period. Subject ratings ranges from 1 to 6 for each micturition as follows: 1. Not at all, 2.A little bit, 3.Somewhat 4.Quite a bit, 5. A great deal, 6. A very great deal. Maximum score depends on number of micturition episodes in the 72 hour period, as the rating of each episode is summed to get the total score. Higher scores indicate worse symptoms of overactive bladder.

Change in Mean Number of Incontinence Episodes Per 24 Hours
