    Approved in combination
    with solifenacin succinate1

    GO with two mechanisms of action

    Storage makes up the majority of the micturition cycle2

    • The β-ARs belong to a family of G-protein-coupled receptors, which are involved with cellular signalling throughout the body and are made up of 3 subtypes (β1, β2, and β3)5,6
    • All 3 β‑AR subtypes are expressed in the human bladder, but β3‑messenger RNA (mRNA) predominates, accounting for 97% of β‑AR mRNA in the bladder7
      • » The β1-AR and β2-AR subtypes make up 1.5% and 1.4% of the total β‑AR mRNA, respectively
    Overactive bladder MOA

    Overactive bladder (OAB) is characterized by
    involuntary contraction of the detrusor muscle during
    storage phase2

    Myrbetriq is the first FDA-approved β3-adrenergic agonist

    It is indicated as monotherapy or in combination with the antimuscarinic solifenacin succinate for the treatment of OAB symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency1

    Diagram illustrating mirabegron and solifenacin succinate mechanisms of action

    A β3-AR agonist combined with an antimuscarinic targets 2 different receptor pathways within the urinary bladder1,8

    • Mirabegron is an agonist of the human β3‑AR as demonstrated by in vitro laboratory experiments using the cloned human β3‑AR1
    • Although mirabegron showed very low intrinsic activity for cloned human β1‑AR and β2‑AR, results in humans indicate that β1‑AR stimulation occurred at a mirabegron dose of 200 mg1

    Therapy to treat OAB

    Myrbetriq combination therapy offers your OAB patients measurable efficacy beyond monotherapy alone1

    Study Design

    Co-administration of Myrbetriq with solifenacin succinate was evaluated in a 12-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter clinical trial in adult patients with OAB with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency (SYNERGY Study; NCT01972841). Entry criteria required that patients had symptoms of wet OAB for ≥3 months, an average of ≥8 micturitions and ≥1 urgency episode per day, and ≥3 incontinence episodes over a 7-day period. The majority of patients were Caucasian (80%) and female (77%) with a mean age of 57 years (range 18–86 years). The population included both naïve patients who had not received prior pharmacotherapy for OAB (54%) and those who had received prior pharmacotherapy for OAB (46%).1,9

    Incontinence

    Demonstrated reduction in incontinence

    Myrbetriq combined with solifenacin succinate showed measurable reduction in incontinence episodes per 24 hours1,9

    Co-Primary Endpoint

    Adjusted change from baseline to end of treatment (Week 12) in mean number of incontinence episodes per 24 hours1

    The first statistical comparison within the pre-specified sequential testing was between the solifenacin 5 mg and mirabegron 50 mg group and its monotherapy components for incontinence. While the 5 + 50 mg group was superior to solifenacin 5 mg for incontinence, superiority versus mirabegron 50 mg could not be demonstrated (p=0.052). Therefore, the primary objective for the 5 + 50 mg therapy was not met. Because the null hypothesis for this test could not be rejected, the subsequent hypotheses for mean number of micturitions per 24 hours and mean volume voided per micturition could not be tested. Also, no hypothesis testing could be performed for the 5 + 25 mg group. Although formal hypothesis testing could not continue, nominal p values were assigned.1,9

    Add on Therapy

    For your OAB patients whose treatment goals have not been

    efficacy beyond an antimuscarinic alone

    Study Design

    Myrbetriq add-on therapy was evaluated in a 12-week, double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, multicenter clinical trial in incontinent OAB patients who received solifenacin succinate for 4 weeks and required additional relief for their OAB symptoms (BESIDE; NCT01908829). Entry criteria required that patients had symptoms of wet OAB (urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency) for ≥3 months and ≥1 incontinence episode during a 3-day period after being treated with solifenacin succinate 5 mg for 4 weeks. The majority of patients were Caucasian (94%) and female (83%) with a mean age of 57 years (range 18–89 years).1,10 Add-on therapy infographic Add-on therapy infographic

    INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    MYRBETRIQ® (mirabegron extended-release tablets), either alone or in combination with the muscarinic antagonist solifenacin succinate, is indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) in adult patients with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    MYRBETRIQ is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity reactions to mirabegron or any inactive ingredients of the tablet.

    MYRBETRIQ monotherapy or in combination with solifenacin succinate can increase blood pressure in adults. Periodic blood pressure determinations are recommended, especially in hypertensive patients. MYRBETRIQ is not recommended for use in patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 180mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 110mm Hg). Worsening of pre-existing hypertension was reported infrequently in patients taking MYRBETRIQ.

    In patients taking MYRBETRIQ, urinary retention has been reported in patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and in patients taking muscarinic antagonist medications for the treatment of OAB. A controlled clinical safety study in patients with BOO did not demonstrate increased urinary retention in patients treated with mirabegron; however, MYRBETRIQ should still be administered with caution to patients with clinically significant BOO. For example, monitor these patients for signs and symptoms of urinary retention. MYRBETRIQ should also be administered with caution to patients taking muscarinic antagonist medications for the treatment of OAB, including solifenacin succinate.

    Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue and/or larynx has been reported with MYRBETRIQ. In some cases, angioedema occurred after the first dose. Cases have been reported to occur hours after the first dose or after multiple doses. Angioedema, associated with upper airway swelling, may be life threatening. If involvement of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs, promptly discontinue MYRBETRIQ and initiate appropriate therapy and/or measures necessary to ensure a patent airway.

    Since MYRBETRIQ is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor, the systemic exposure to CYP2D6 substrates is increased when co‐administered with MYRBETRIQ. Therefore, appropriate monitoring and dose adjustment may be necessary, especially with narrow therapeutic index drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.

    In clinical trials, the most commonly reported adverse reactions in adults (> 2% and > placebo) for MYRBETRIQ 25mg and 50mg versus placebo, respectively, were hypertension (11.3%, 7.5% vs. 7.6%), nasopharyngitis (3.5%, 3.9% vs. 2.5%), urinary tract infection (4.2%, 2.9% vs. 1.8%), and headache (2.1%, 3.2% vs. 3.0%).

    In clinical trials, the most commonly reported adverse reactions in adults (> 2% and > placebo and > comparator) for MYRBETRIQ in combination with solifenacin succinate 25mg + 5mg and 50mg + 5mg versus MYRBETRIQ 25mg, MYRBETRIQ 50mg, solifenacin succinate 5mg, and placebo, respectively, were dry mouth (9.3%, 7.2% vs. 3.8%, 3.6%, 6.5%, 2.2%), urinary tract infection (7.0%, 4.0% vs. 4.0%, 4.2%, 3.6%, 5.3%), constipation (4.2%, 3.9% vs. 1.2%, 2.8%, 2.4%, 1.2%), and tachycardia (2.2%, 0.9% vs. 1.6%, 1.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%).

    In postmarketing experience with mirabegron, the following events have also occurred: atrial fibrillation, nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness.

    Please refer to prescribing information for solifenacin succinate when prescribing MYRBETRIQ in combination with solifenacin succinate.
