METHODS: This prospective single-arm paired comparison trial included patients enrolled in a tertiary referral center between January 2016 and October 2022. Patients with low BC of ≤20 ml/cmH2O in a urodynamic study performed while they were taking anticholinergics for more than one month were enrolled. After 2 weeks of the drug washout period, patients received mirabegron 50 mg/day for 8 weeks. Consecutive anticholinergics treatment (with the same regimen as that in the baseline assessment) was followed for 8 weeks. Urodynamic studies were performed at baseline, 8 weeks after mirabegron treatment and 8 weeks after anticholinergics treatment. Treatment effects were assessed by comparing urodynamic findings using paired t-tests. Data are expressed as mean and 95% confidence intervals, unless otherwise specified. RESULTS: Fourteen patients were enrolled male, 8; female, 6; age 54.4 (range 23.9∼78.3) years. As 3 patients refused to comply with the study after the completion of 8 weeks of mirabegron treatment, 11 patients completed the intended protocol. The duration of anticholinergics treatment at baseline assessment was 10.1 (range 2.1∼72.2) months. Baseline BC was 12.01 (9.52-14.52) ml/cmH2O. After 8 weeks of mirabegron treatment, BC increased significantly to 39.67 (21.60-57.73) ml/cmH2O (p=0.007). After returning to previously medicated anticholinergics for 8 weeks, BC decreased to 20.94 (15.78-26.10) ml/cmH2O, approaching conventional significance (p=0.075). Among the maximum cystometric capacity and detrusor pressure at end-filling, which comprise BC, the mirabegron effect was more conspicuous in decreasing the detrusor filling pressure, showing a significant change (p<0.001) compared to the increase in maximum cystometric capacity (p=0.091) (Table 1). CONCLUSIONS: Mirabegron showed a significant effect in improving low BC that could not be treated with anticholinergics. Improved BC was not maintained after returning to anticholinergics. β3-adrenoceptor agonist is considered superior to anticholinergics for improving BC.
