The total symptom bother score was calculated from the 8 answers and then transformed to range from 0 (least severity) to 100 (worst severity). A negative change from baseline indicated an improvement.The PPBC is a validated, global assessment tool using a 6-point Likert scale on which participants rated their subjective impression of their current bladder condition. Participants assessed their bladder condition using this scale: 1. Does not cause me any problems at all; 2. Causes me some very minor problems; 3. Causes me some minor problems; 4. Causes me (some) moderate problems; 5. Causes me severe problems; 6. Causes me many severe problems.
Time frame: Baseline and Months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12
Participants Who Were Triple Responders (≥ 50% Reduction in Mean Number of Incontinence Episodes Per 24 Hours, ≥ 10 Points Improvement on OAB-q HRQL Total Score and ≥ 1 Point Improvement on PPBC) at Months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and EoT
The mean number of incontinence episodes per 24 hours was calculated from data recorded by the participant in a micturition diary for 7 days prior to each visit. The HRQoL portion of the OAB-q consists of 25 HRQoL items comprising 4 HRQoL subscales, each item was scored 1-6. The total score was calculated by adding the 4 HRQoL subscale scores and transforming to a scale from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life. A positive change from baseline indicated an improvement.The PPBC is a validated, global assessment tool using a 6-point Likert scale on which participants rated their subjective impression of their current bladder condition.

Change From Baseline to Months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and EoT in Postvoid Residual (PVR) Volume
