A Study to Investigate How Effective and Safe Solifenacin Succinate Suspension is in Treating Children/Adolescents Aged 5 to Less Than 18 Years With Symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB) Compared to a Non-active Drug

Children aged 5 to 11 years and adolescents aged 12 to 17 years received solifenacin succinate liquid suspension once a day orally via syringe for 12 weeks along with non interventional diary assisted urotherapy consisting of overactive bladder (OAB) information, awareness, instruction, life-style advice and documentation of voiding habits and symptoms for OAB. The initial dose started with the equivalent of 5 mg in adults, referred to as pediatric equivalent dose (PED) of 5 mg (PED5), based on body weight for three weeks and was titrated up or down in up to three titration steps of three weeks each to reach the optimal dose. Titration up or down could lead to weight-based doses equivalent to doses in adults of 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg or 10 mg once daily and were referred to as PED2.5, PED5, PED7.5 and PED10. The minimum dose was PED2.5, and the maximum dose was PED10. The decision to titrate up or down was made by the investigator using information from the 7 day patient diary.
