This study is designed to confirm if 8mg of fesoterodine is more effective in reducing overactive bladder symptoms than 4mg of fesoterodine. In addition the study is designed to assess if the higher dose reduces the overall effect of overactive bladder on the subject's daily life more than the lower dose. The study also assesses the side effects and safety of the two doses.

Change From Baseline in Mean Number of Micturition-Related Urgency Episodes Per 24 Hours at Week 4.
The mean number of micturition-related urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as the total number of micturitions with USS rating of greater than or equal to (\>=) 3 divided by the total number of days that diary data was collected at that visit. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine.

Number of Participants With Change From Baseline in Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC) at Week 12.
PPBC: a self-administered, single-item, questionnaire that asks participants to describe their perception of their bladder-related problems. The PPBC assessment is rated on a 6-point scale: 1=no problems at all, 2=some very minor problems, 3=some minor problems, 4=moderate problems, 5=severe problems, 6=many severe problems. Improvement is defined as negative change from baseline.
Time frame: Week 12
Number of Participants With Change From Baseline in Urgency Perception Scale (UPS) at Week 12.
UPS: single-item, self-administered validated questionnaire. Participant answered: "Which of the following would typically describe your experience when you have a desire to urinate?" on a 3-point scale, 1=usually not able to hold urine; 2=usually able to hold urine (without leaking) until I reach a toilet if I go to the toilet immediately; 3= usually able to finish what I am doing before going to the toilet (without leaking). Change = observation minus baseline. Results categorized as Deterioration (Negative change); no change (Score change=0); improvement (Positive change).

Change From Baseline in Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q) Symptom Bother Score at Week 12.
OAB-q: a self-administered, 33-item, questionnaire that assesses how much the participant has been bothered by selected bladder symptoms. Each item rated by participant on Likert scale 1 (not at all) to 6 (a very great deal). Symptom bother score derived as sum of scores for questions 1-8; lowest possible raw score: 8; highest possible score: 48. Data analyzed based on transformation of the score to a 0 to 100 scale \[(Actual total raw score - lowest possible value of raw score)/range\]\*100. Higher scores values indicative of greater symptom bother.

Higher transformed scores indicative of better HRQL.
