The purpose of this study was to evaluate long term efficacy and safety of treatment with solifenacin succinate (the study drug) in children with neurogenic detrusor overactivity after multiple dose administration.
In some children with a severe form of spina bifida (which is the consequence of a spinal cord defect), the bladder muscle (detrusor) contracts strongly and without warning (also known as neurogenic detrusor overactivity) and the urethra (the passage connecting the bladder with outside) does not relax. Though these children cannot void, urine leakage can happen when the overactive contractions are strong, and/or the pressure in the bladder is so high that it overcomes the closed urethra (overflow at high filling bladder pressure). This high bladder pressure puts these children at risk for kidney damage and can decrease the quality of the bladder. Therapy was aimed to decrease the high filling bladder pressure and the overactive detrusor contractions.

Change From Baseline to Week 24 in Maximum Cystometric Capacity (MCC)
MCC was the volume instilled into the bladder prior to leakage or end of bladder-filling (whichever was reached first), as assessed by urodynamics (procedure: the bladder was to be filled until voiding/leakage began, or until it was stopped because either the participant experienced pain or discomfort or 135% of expected bladder capacity \[EBC\] was reached for participants ≥ 2 years or of maximum catheterized volume \[MCV\] for participants aged 6 months to \< 2 years; the participants' bladder was emptied via catheterization).
Time frame: Baseline and Week 24
Change From Baseline to Weeks 3, 6, 9, 12 and 52 in MCC
MCC was the volume instilled into the bladder prior to leakage or end of bladder-filling (whichever was reached first) as assessed by urodynamics (procedure: the bladder was to be filled until voiding/leakage began, or until it was stopped because either the participant experienced pain or discomfort or 135% of EBC was reached for participants ≥ 2 years or of MCV for participants aged 6 months to \< 2 years.

Change From Baseline to Weeks 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 and 52 in Bladder Compliance
Bladder compliance gives an indication of the elasticity of the bladder wall. Bladder compliance was calculated by dividing the change in volume during the filling of the bladder by the change in detrusor pressure during that change in bladder volume using urodynamic assessments. The values for bladder volume and detrusor pressure at the beginning and end of filling were taken and used.

Change From Baseline to Weeks 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36 and 52 in Mean Number of Periods Between the Clean Intermittent Catheterizations (CICs) With Incontinence Per 24 Hours
Participants were required to have 4-6 CICs per day on a schedule fixed for the duration of the study. To calculate the number of periods between CICs with incontinence in a diary day, the diary day was divided into periods between CICs (i.e. inter-CIC periods). The hour period, rather than the exact time, of each CIC and incontinence episode was recorded in the diary. When an incontinence episode and a CIC were marked in the same hour period, the incontinence episode was counted as occurring prior to the CIC (when the bladder had not yet emptied), rather than after it (when the bladder had recently been emptied), i.e. the inter-CIC period ended with the hour in which the CIC was recorded. The mean number of periods between CICs with incontinence per 24 hours was the number of periods between CICs when incontinence occurred, divided by the total number of valid diary days.
