Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Non-Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Cohort 1: Weight >=41.5kg

Part A: Participants will receive a dose of Vibegron based on their weight, with dose reduction based on individual clinical condition, PK, and safety/tolerability data. Participants may be dose-reduced up to 2 times.

Part B: Participants will receive a Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB)-selected Vibegron dose for their weight determined from participants in their respective cohort and weight band of Part A.

Participants will be administered Vibegron orally, once daily (QD)
Experimental: Cohort 2: Weight Range >=29.5 kg to <=41.4 kg

Part A: participants will receive a dose of Vibegron based on their weight, with dose reduction based on individual clinical condition, PK, and safety/tolerability data. Participants may be dose-reduced up to 2 times.

Part B: Participants will receive a DSMB-selected Vibegron dose for their weight determined from participants in their respective cohort and weight band of Part A.

Participants will be administered Vibegron orally, once daily (QD)
Experimental: Cohort 3: Weight range >=11 kg to <=29.4 kg

Part A: Participants will receive a dose of Vibegron based on their weight, with dose reduction based on individual clinical condition, PK, and safety/tolerability data. Participants may be dose-reduced up to 2 times.

Part B: Participants will receive a DSMB-selected Vibegron dose for their weight determined from participants in their respective cohort and weight band of Part A.

Participants will be administered Vibegron orally, once daily (QD)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) based on bladder filling urodynamics
Time Frame: Optimized Treatment Week 24
Optimized Treatment Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in MCC
Time Frame: Optimized Week 12
Optimized Week 12
Change from Baseline in number of overactive detrusor contractions until the end of bladder filling
Time Frame: Optimized Treatment Weeks 12 and 24
Optimized Treatment Weeks 12 and 24
Change from Baseline in detrusor pressure at the end of bladder filling
Time Frame: Optimized Treatment Weeks 12 and 24
Optimized Treatment Weeks 12 and 24
Change from Baseline in bladder filling volume until first involuntary/hyperactive detrusor contraction
Time Frame: Optimized Treatment Weeks 12 and 24
Optimized Treatment Weeks 12 and 24
Change from Baseline in bladder compliance (mL/cm H2O)
Time Frame: Optimized Treatment Weeks 12 and 24
Bladder compliance is calculated by dividing the change in volume by the change in detrusor pressure during the filling of the bladder
Optimized Treatment Weeks 12 and 24
Change from Baseline in average first morning catheterized volume
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
Change from Baseline in average catheterized volume per catheterization
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
Change from Baseline in average maximum catheterized volume per day
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
Change from Baseline in average maximum catheterized daytime volume
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
Change from Baseline in average number of leakage episodes per day
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
Change from Baseline in estimated number of dry (leakage-free) days/ 7 days
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
Change from Baseline in Pediatric Incontinence Questionnaire (PIN-Q)
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
PIN-Q is a 20-item questionnaire addressing quality of life for participants with bladder disorders. Each question was answered on a scale from 0 (no, never) to 4 (all the time). The total score ranged from 0 to 80, with higher scores indicating more impact on the quality of life.
through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
Change from Baseline in Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) Scale
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
PGI-S is a 5 point scale that determines the bladder condition of a participant with 0 being really bad and 4 as really good. Higher score indicates better bladder condition.
through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
Change from Baseline in Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) Scale
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
The CGI-C scale is used to determine the degree of change in participant's overall bladder symptoms since the start of the study on Day 1. The scale will be filled by the investigator by ticking on any of the following options: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse and very much worse.
through study completion, an average of 52 weeks
