Description

WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 METHODS OF TREATING CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH OVERACTIVE BLADDER Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to methods of treating conditions associated with overactive bladder, comprising administering to females an intravaginal device comprising: (a) an annular first matrix comprising a pocket and a pocket wall, wherein the pocket wall has a uniform thickness, and wherein the pocket wall encompasses the pocket; and (b) a second matrix comprising an anticholinergic agent located in the pocket. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 100021 Overactive bladder ("OAB") affects millions of individuals worldwide, a majority of those being women. In individuals with OAB., the detrusor muscle that controls the voluntary relaxation of the bladder during urination contracts spontaneously and involuntarily leading to a variety of symptoms such as urinary incontinence, urinary urgency, and increased urinary frequency. [00031 Currently, OAB is treated by administration of the anticholinergic agent oxybutynin. Oxybutynin is believed to affect the detrusor muscle, leading to relaxation of the bladder and subsequent reduction of spontaneous involuntary contractions. 100041 Currently marketed modes of oxybutynin administration include both oral (syrup or tablets), marketed under the tradenames DITROPAN* (syrup and tablets, Ortho-McNeil Janssen Pharmaceutical, Inc., Titusville, New Jersey) and LYRINEL XL* (tablets, Janssen Cilag EMEA, Beerse, Belgium), and transdermal patches, marketed under the tradename OXYTROL (Watson Pharmaceutical, Inc., Morristown, New Jersey). Deleterious side effects can occur upon oral and transdermal administration of oxybutynin, e.g., dry eyes. dizziness, blurred vision, constipation, and/or headaches.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [00211 The present invention is directed to methods of treating conditions associated with overactive bladder, comprising administering to females an intravaginal device comprising: (a) an annular first matrix comprising a pocket and a pocket wall, wherein the pocket wall has a uniform thickness, and wherein the pocket wall encompasses the pocket; and (b) a second matrix comprising an anticholinergic agent located in the pocket. [00221 As used herein, an "intravaginal device" refers to an object suitable for placement in the vaginal tract. In some embodiments, the intravaginal device provides for administration or application of an anticholinergic agent to the vaginal and/or urogenital tract of a subject, including, e.g., the vagina, cervix, or uterus of a female. As used herein, "female" refers to any animal classified as a manimal, including humans and non humans, such as, but not limited to, domestic and farm animals, zoo animals, sports animals, and pets. In some embodiments. female refers to a human female. In some embodiments, the female is a menopausal woman. In some embodiments, the female is a peri-menopausal woman. [00231 In some embodiments, the female refers to a human female, wherein the female meets one or more criteria selected from (1) predominant or pure urge incontinence consisting of '>10 pure or predominant discrete urge incontinence episodes per week, (2) an average urinary frequency of ' 8 voids per 24 hours, and (3) an average total void volume of < 3.0 L per 24 hours, In some embodiments, the female is a human female WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 having all three criteria described above. In some embodiments, the female is a human menopausal or peri-menopausal woman having all three criteria described above. [00241 As used herein, the term "administering to" refers to placing a vaginal device of the present invention in contact with the vaginal and/or urogenital tract of a female, wherein at least some of the anticholinergic agent is transferred from the intravaginal device to the female. In some embodiments, administering refers to local administration of the anticholinergic agent. In some embodiments, administering refers to systemic administration of the anticholinergic agent. In some embodiments, the term administering refers to administering the anticholinergic agent to the female, wherein first pass metabolism of the anticholinergic agent is avoided. The methods of the present invention treat conditions associated wi th overactive bladder ("OAB"). The terms "treat" and "treatment" refer to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic, maintenance, or preventative measures, wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen) an undesired physiological effects of OAB, or obtain beneficial or desired clinical results. For purposes of this invention, beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to: alleviation of symptoms or signs; diminishment of extent of condition, disorder or disease; stabilization (i.e., not worsening) of the OAB or slowing of OAB progression; and amelioration of the OAR Treatment includes eliciting a clinically significant response, without excessive levels of side effects. The intravaginal devices of the present invention are used for treating symptoms of OAB that include, but are not liiriited to, urinary incontinence, urgency, frequency and involuntary bladder contractions. 'The intravaginal devices of the present invention can further be used to relax the bladder smooth muscle. [0025] The present invention also inchides methods of decreasing the number of urinary incontinence episodes in a subject. A urinary incontinence episode is characterized by the involuntary release of urine accompanied by or immediately preceded by urgency In some embodiments, the number of urinary incontinence episodes is decreased 2% to 30%, 4% to 20%, or 5% to 15%. [00261 The present invention also includes methods of decreasing the average daily urinary frequency in a subject. Urinary frequency refers to the number of urination events performed by an individual. Thus, conditions associated with a high number of urination events, e.g., nocturia, are treated by the device of the present invention. In sonie WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 -6 embodiments, urinary frequency is decreased 5% to 30%, 6% to 20%, or 7% to 15%. In some embodiments, the method of the present invention is used to treat nocturia. [0027] In some embodiments, the present invention includes methods of decreasing involuntary bladder contractions in a subject. Involuntary bladder contractions are characterized by lack of ability to control or regulate bladder movement. In some embodiments, the number of involuntary bladder contractions is decreased 5% to 30%, 6% to 20%, or 7% to 15%. [00281 In some embodiments, the present invention includes methods of inducing relaxation of the bladder smooth muscle in a subject. Relaxation of the bladder smooth muscle allows for increased control over muscle function and urination. [00291 In some embodiments, the invention is directed to a method of decreasing the severity or the frequency of urinary urgency. In some embodiments, urinary urgency is characterized as the sudden, difficult to deter, and/or compelling desire to void urine. [00301 In some embodiments, elimination of first-pass metabolism of the anti-cholinergic agent, e.g., oxybutyni, in the liver, is an advantage of the vaginal delivery of the present invention. Vaginal delivery can reduce the production of first-pass oxybutynin metabolite N-desethyloxybutynin. In some embodiments, reduction in the plasma concentration of this metabolite can reduce the severity of anticholinergic side effects, e.g., dry mouth, constipation, and/or blurred vision. 10031] In some embodiments, the present invention provides for long-term delivery of a constant level of an anticholinergic agent, e.g., oxybutynin, from a single treatment. [00321 In some embodiments, vaginal delivery of the anticholinergic agent, e.g., oxybutynin., may allow accumulation of the anticholinergic agent at the bladder at lower doses than is achievable by oral dosing. While not being bound by any particular theory, the bladder and the vaginal tract are anatomically proximal to each other, and the vascular and lymphatic networks of the two organs are shared to a high degree, raising the possibility of accumulation of the anticholinergic agent at the bladder. During intravascular delivery, such accumulation in the bladder may enhance and/or prolong the therapeutic effects of the anticholinergic agent, allowing for decreased overall dosing of the anticholinergic agent. [00331 In some embodiments, the intravaginal devices comprise an anticholinergic agent. As used herein, an "anticholinergic agent" refers to a compound that blocks the WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Anticholinergic agents suitable for use with the present invention include agents that have a localized effect, as well as systemically acting anticholinergic agents that act at a point remote from the vaginal or urogenital tract. Anticholinergic agents suitable for use with the present invention include, but are not limited to, oxybutynin, tolterodine, trospium, solifenacin, darifenacin, dicyclomine, propantheline, propiverine, bethanechol, methylibenactyzium, scopolamine, combinations thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof [00341 In some embodiments, the anticholinergic agent is oxybutynin, tolterodine, trospium, solifenacin, darifenacin, dicyclomine, propantheline, propiverine, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof [0035] In some embodiments, the anticholinergic agent is oxybutynin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, such as, e.g., oxybutyiin hydrochloride. Oxybutynin is represented by the chemical formula C1-NO3, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) name 4-diethylaminobut-2-ynv2-cyclohexyl-2 hydroxy-2-phenyl-ethanoate, Chemical Abstracts Service, (CAS) number 5633-20-5, and the PubChem Compound identification number 4634. As used herein, the term "oxybutynin" refers to oxybutynrin as well as its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, hydrates, prodrugs, or derivatives thereof unless otherwise noted. 100361 In some embodiments, administration of the anticholinergic agent by the device results in treatment-emergent adverse events. The term "adverse events" refers to any events, occurrences, incidents, symptoms, indications, or other related happenings that have a temporal relationship with administration of the anticholinergic device of the invention. In some embodiments, administration of the device to a subject results in at least one adverse event such as, but riot limited to, infections and infestations, gastrointestinal disorders, reproductive system and breast disorders, muscoloskeletal and connective tissue disorders, nervous system disorders, renal and urinary disorders, and sensory disorders. Adverse events relating to infections and infestations can include, but are not limited to, urinary tract infection, vulvovaginal mycotic infection, sinusitis, and upper respiratory tract infection. Adverse events relating to gastrointestinal disorders can include, but are not limited to., dry mouth, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, dyspepsia, and diarrhoea. Adverse events relating to the reproductive system and breast WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 disorders can include, but are not limited to, vaginal discharge, vaginal pain, vaginal hemorrhage, and vaginal erythema. Adverse events relating to muscoloskeletal and connective tissue disorders can include, but are not limited to, back pain. Adverse events relating to nervous system disorders, can include, but are not limited to, headache, dizziness, and somnolence. Adverse events relating to renal and urinary disorders, can include, but are not limited to, dysuria. Adverse disorders relating to sensory disorders can include, but are not limited to, dry eyes and blurred vision. Thus, in some embodiments, the present invention is directed to a method of reducing one or more adverse events as described herein. [0037] In soirie embodiments, the method of the present invention comprises administering an intravaginal device comprising an annular first matrix. As used herein, "annular" refers to a shape of, relating to, or forming a ring. Annular shapes suitable for use with the present invention include a ring, an oval, an ellipse, a toroid, and the like. In some embodiments, the intravaginal device of the present invention is a vaginal ring.

In some embodiments, the materials used in the intravaginal device are nontoxic, physiologically suitable, and/or non absorbable in a subject, i.e., they are not absorbed in the vaginal tract. The materials used in the present invention are compatible with an anticholinergic agent. Compatible materials include those materials that are inert, chemically stable, do not chemically interact with, or otherwise affect and/or alter the anticholinergic agent. In some embodiments, the materials are pliable, malleable, and/or capable of being suitably shaped for intravaginal administration. [0039] The intravaginal device of the present invention comprises a first matrix. As used herein, a "first matrix" refers to any solid, semi-solid, or gel inedium. In some embodiments, the first matrix is an amorphous polymer network formed when a polymer or a mixture of polymers undergo cross-linking. Each polymer is comprised of monomeric units, which are linked together to form the polymer. The monomeric units can comprise carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, silicon, halogen, and combinations thereof The first matrix can be shaped by molding, extrusion, coextrusion, compression, or combinations thereof WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 -9 [0040] The intravaginal device of the present invention can be flexible. As used herein, "flexible" refers to the ability of a solid or semi-solid to bend or withstand stress and strain without being damaged or broken. For example, the device of the present invention can be deformed or flexed, such as, for example, using finger pressure (eg., applying pressure from opposite external sides of the device using the fingers), and upon removal of the pressure, substantially return to its original shape. The flexible properties of the intravaginal device of the present invention are useful for enhancing user comfort, and also for ease of administration to the vaginal tract and/or removal of the device from the vaginal tract. [0041] The intravaginal device of the present invention comprises a first matrix. In sonie embodiments, the first matrix is permeable to the anticholinergic agent. In some embodiments, the first matrix is permeable to oxybutynin and/or water. In some embodiments, the first matrix can be chosen due to its mechanical and physical properties (e.g., solubility or permeability of an anticholinergic agent in the material). [00421 In some embodiments, the first matrix comprises various polymers that are compatible with the vaginal tract. In some embodiments, the first matrix comprises a polysiloxane, a polyalkylene, a polystyrene, a polyvinyl acetate, a polyvinyl chloride, a polyester, a polyurethane, an acrylic, a nylon, a dacron, a teflon, or a combination thereof 100431 As used herein, a "polysiloxane polymer" refers to any of various compounds containing alternate silicon and oxygen atoms in either a linear or cyclic arrangement usually with one or two organic groups attached to each silicon atom. For example, polysiloxane polymers can include substituted polysiloxanes, and diorganopolysiloxanes such as diarylpolysiloxanes and dialkylpolysiloxanes.

[00491 In some embodiments, the first matrix comprises 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl methyldimethyl polysiloxane, e.g., the trifluoropropyimethyl polymer sold by NuSil Technology (Carpinteria, CA). [0050] Throughout the present disclosure, all expressions of percentage, ratio, and the like are "by weight" unless otherwise indicated. As used herein, "by weight" is synonymous with the term "by mass," and indicates that a ratio or percentage defined herein is according to weight rather than volume, thickness, or some other measure. [00511 In some embodiments, the first matrix is 50% to 100% by weight halogenated siloxane polymer. In some embodiments, the first matrix is 75% to 95% by weight halogenated siloxane polymer. In some embodiments, the first matrix is 80% to 90% by weight halogenated siloxane polymer. [00521 In some embodiments, the first matrix is 80% to 95% by weight of the intravaginal device. In some embodiments, the first matrix is 80% to 95% by volume of the intravaginal device. 100531 The first matrix comprises a pocket and a pocket wall, wherein the pocket wall has a uniform thickness, and wherein the pocket wall encompasses the pocket. As used herein, "pocket" refers to an indentation, groove, furrow, cut, impression, notch, recess, or likewise depression along the surface of the first matrix, which is encompassed by a pocket wall, and wherein the pocket wall has a uniform thickness. See, e.g., FIGS. 1, 2, 3A, and 3B. In some embodiments, a "pocket" as defined herein can be exposed to the exterior of the device via a slit which extends a length of the pocket. Thus, the term "pocket" does not include a bore or other type of cavity that extends any length through the device, since (a) a bore contains at least one distinct entrance froin the surface into the first matrix, and (b) a bore does not have a pocket wall of uniform thickness. In some embodiments a pocket of the present invention can be beneficial since anticholinergic agents in a second matrix can be released without having to pass through a separate matrix, e.g., the first matrix.
WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 - 12 [00541 As used herein, "pocket wall" refers to a portion of the first matrix that defines the lateral boundaries of the pocket. See, e.g., FIGS. 3A and 3B. Thus, the volume defined by the pocket wall comprises the pocket. The pocket wall has a uniform thickness, wherein the distance from the pocket to the lateral outer surface of the device is the same. In some embodiments, the pocket wall has a uniform thickness of 0.5 nm to 5 mm. In some embodiments, the pocket wall has a uniform thickness of I mm to 4 mm. In some embodiments, the pocket wall has a uniform thickness of 1.5 mm to 3 mm. In some embodiments, the pocket wall has a uniform thickness of 1 mm to 2 mm. A pocket wall of uniform thickness can allow the anticholinergic agent in the second matrix to be uniformly released from the intravaginal device through the pocket wall. [00551 As used herein, "encompass" or "encompasses the pocket" refers to the degree by which the pocket wall covers the lateral surface area of the pocket. Thus, the pocket wall encompasses the pocket when the pocket wall covers 95% or more of the lateral surface area of the pocket. In some embodiments, the pocket wall encompasses the pocket when the pocket wall covers 90% or more of the lateral surface area of the pocket. In some embodiments, the pocket wall encompasses the pocket when the pocket wall covers 85% or more of the lateral surface area of the pocket. In sonie embodiments, the pocket wall encompasses the pocket when the pocket wall covers 80% or more of the lateral surface area of the pocket. By way of example, in some embodiments, the pocket can be tubular in shape, wherein 95% or more of the lateral surface area of the tubular pocket comprises the pocket wall. [00561 In some embodiments, the length of the pocket can vary. For example, in some embodiments, the first matrix is annular in shape and the pocket of the first matrix can extend around a portion of the entire perimeter of the annular matrix. See, e.g., FIG. 1 In some embodiments the pocket extends from 10 to 180' around the perimeter of the first matrix. In some embodiments, the pocket extends from 80' to 1200 around the perimeter of the first matrix. In some embodiments, the pocket extends 180', 150', 120, 1000, 90', 80, 70', 60', 450, 300, or 10' around the perimeter of the annular first mnatrix. These variables are represented by the variable "y" in FIG. 1. In some embodiments, the pocket has a cross-sectional diameter of 3 mm to 8 mm, 4 mm to 7 mm, or 5 mm to 6 mm.

[00901 The present invention is further illustrated by the following Examples. These Examples are provided to aid in the understanding of the invention and are not to be construed as a limitation thereof. EXAMPLES Example 1 PRODUCTION OF A FIRST MATRIX VAGINAL RING 100911 A vaginal ring comprising a first matrix was prepared as follows. The first matrix was prepared using trifluoropropylnethyl/diniethyl siloxane. 40 g part A and 40 g part B trifluoropropylmethyl/dimethyl siloxane elastomer formation (NuSil Technology, CF2-3521 grade, Toms River, NJ) were weighed into a 100 g capacity Hauschild mixing cup and subsequently mixed for 10 seconds in a Hauschild Model 501 T speed mixer. A metal spatula was then used to scrape down the sides of the mixing cup and further blend the two starting components. A final 14-second speed mixer cycle was supplied to ensure blend uniformity. 100921 Two halves of an insert mold capable of forming a pocket and a pocket wall having a uniform thickness, were lightly coated in an ethanol/water solution of DARVAN WAQ (R.T. Vanderbilt Co., Norwalk, CT) and allowed to air dry. Between 12-15 grams of the 1:1 part A:part B blend were placed into the pin containing half of the mold. The insert pins were positioned in the filled portion of the mold and matched unfilled mold half was mated into place.
WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 [00931 The filled mold assembly was then compressed between the unheated platens of a Kuntz injection molding machine in order to discharge excess polyiner blend from the mold. During this compression step, the insert pins were held in place to avoid ejection by the applied air pressure. The discharged blend material was removed from the outside of the mold assembly and discarded. [0094] The compressed, filled mold assembly was then placed between the preheated platens of a model 3912 Carver press. A pressure of 5,000 psi was applied and heating of the assembly for 15 minutes at 150 'C was performed to affect elastomer cure. During approximately the first 5 minutes of this curing step, the insert pins were held in place to avoid ejection from the mold. [00951 After 15 minutes at 150 C, the mold was removed from the Carver press and cooled on the Kuntz machine's chiller for a sufficient time to allow easy separation of the mold halves and facilitate handling. The cured ring was separated from the mold. The insert pins were then carefully removed from the molded part by gently pulling them out without tearing or otherwise deforming the pocket. [00961 This process resulted in a vaginal ring formed by mold compression having an annular first matrix comprising a pocket and a pocket wall, wherein the pocket wall has a uniform thickness, and wherein the pocket wall encompasses the pocket. Example 2 PRODUCTION OF A 'T'WO-MATlX VAGINAL RING [0097] The pocket of the annular first matrix of a trifluoropropyimethyl/dimethyl siloxane clastomer prepared according to Example I was filled with a silicone/oxybutynin second matrix. [0098] To form the second matrix, a mixture of 55% silicone and 45% oxybutynin was weighed in a Hauschild mixing cup and mixed in a Hauschild model AM 501 T speed mixer. A sufficient amount of the resulting silicone/oxybutynin paste was injected via syringe into the pocket of the ring of Example 1. In order to achieve a vaginal ring which released 4 mng/day oxybutynin, a vaginal ring comprising a first matrix having an outer diameter of 58.3 mm with a pocket that extended 80' around the exterior perimeter of the ring was used. The pocket had a diameter of 5.3 mm and was filled via syringe with the WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 - 23 silicone/oxybutynin mixture. In order to achieve a vaginal ring which released 6 mg/day oxybutynin, a vaginal ring comprising a first matrix having an outer diameter of 58.3 mm with a pocket that extended 120' around the exterior perimeter of the ring was used. The pocket had a diameter of 5.3 mm. The ring was cured for 24 hours at ambient conditions to allow the silicone/oxybutynin polymer paste to solidify. The second matrix was held in the pocket of the first matrix by the pocket wall extending over the lateral surface area of the pocket. The silicone/oxbutynin mixture cured into a white cylindrically shaped solid, following the shape of either the 80' or 120 pocket. [0099] This process resulted in an intravaginal ring having an annular first matrix comprising a pocket and a pocket wall, wherein the pocket wall has a uniform thickness, and wherein the pocket wall encompasses the pocket and a second matrix comprising an oxybutynin/silicone mixture contained in the pocket. Example 3 PHAR-MACOKINETICS AND DRUG METABOLISM IN ANIMALS [001001 A study was conducted to determine the levels of oxybutynin and its active metabolite, N-desethyloxybutynin, present in plasma following oral and intravaginal administration of oxybutynin in dogs. Results from this study are presented in Table 1. Table 1. Oxybutynin Vaginal Ring vs Oxybutynin Chloride oral Tablet: Dose Comparison of C.
1 x and T. Dosage Form Dose Cink. (ng/miL) Oxybutynin 8 x 5 mg/day 25.6 Chloride table- 2 x 5 mg/day 1790 2.5 mg/dav 13.95 Oxybutynir vaginal ring 6.0 mg/day 18.75 1001011 A 14 day study was conducted, where 8 young adult females were randomly assigned to 4 groups of 2 dogs each. Two dogs received an oral 10 mg dose of oxybutynin chloride daily (2 x 5 mg/day tablets) for 14 consecutive days. The remaining 6 dogs received an intravaginal ring as described in Example 2, designed to continuously release oxybutynin at a dose of 0, 2.5 or 6 mg/day for 14 consecutive days.
WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 - 24 [00102] Oxybutynin was detected in the plasma of dogs who were administered oxybutynin either orally or vaginally at all intervals tested. The average maximum (Cmx) plasma levels of oxybutynin were slightly higher and were achieved sooner in dogs with the 6 mg/day vaginal rings (approximately 18.75 ng/mL at 1.5 hours (h) after dosing) than in dogs given oxybutynin orally (approximately 17.9 ng/mL at 3 h after dosing). The C values achieved for the 2.5 mg/day vaginal rings were slightly lower (approximately 13.95 ng/mL at 1,5 h after dosing), [00103] Plasma levels of oxybutynin were sustained for up to 96 h after insertion of the vaginal ring (approximately 4.4 ng/mL and 11.6 ng/mL for dogs with 2.5 and 6.0 mg/day vaginal ring, respectively), but decreased rapidly when administered orally (to 52.'75 ng/mL at 8 h or more after dosing). This data suggests that the area under the curve ("AUC
T
") values achieved with the 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal rings are slightly higher than those achieved after oral administration of 10 mg/day of oxybutynin chloride. [001041 The amount of N-desethyioxybutynin detected in the plasma was consistently low (less than I ng/mL) for dogs given either concentration of oxybutynin vaginal rings. In contrast, the amount of N-desethyloxybutynin detected in plasma of dogs given oxybutynin chloride orally was generally similar to the amount of oxybutynin that was measured. 1001051 These findings suggest that the 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal rings delivered similar, but more sustained amounts of oxybutynin to the plasma than oral administration of 10 mg/day oxybutynin chloride, while plasma levels of N-desethyioxybutynin were consistently lower in the vaginal ring relative to the oral administration.

Higher concentrations of oxybutynin were reached relative to concentrations of N-desethyloxybutynin for up to approximately 4 hours after vaginal ring insertion. After 6 h, concentrations of N-desethyloxybutynin were higher than oxybutynin concentrations in most cases, and concentrations of WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 - 28 N-desethyloxybutynin continued to gradually rise until 72 h, while oxybutynin concentrations stabilized after 48 h. [00110] The combined pharmacokinetics data suggest that 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal rings show a modest increase in plasma concentration of oxybutynin (measured by C.,ax and Css) over 4 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal rings. The 6 ig/ day oxybutynin vaginal rings is further associated with an increase in the plasma concentration of N-desethyoxybutynin over that of the 4 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal rings.

The oxybutynin vaginal ring produced plasma level of oxybutynin comparable to or slightly higher than those reported for DITROPAN XL- and OXYTROL* (depending on the specific oxybutynin release rate for the vaginal ring being evaluated). Plasma levels of N-desethyloxybutynin in vaginal ring-treated patients were generally lower than those reported for DITROPAN XL* extended release tablets but higher than those reported for OXYTROL*. For the 4 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring, the steady state oxybutynin level was similar to that reported for OXYTROL* and DITROPAN XLk The metabolite N-desethyloxvbutynin level of the 4 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring was similar to OXYTROL* but substantially lower than the N-desethyloxybutynin level reported for DITROPAN XL*t For the 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring, the steady state oxybutynin level was higher than that produced by either the Oxytroil" 3.9 mg/day patch or DITROPAN XL 15 mg/day tablet. The metabolite N-desethyloxybutynin level was higher for the 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring than WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 - 30 OXYTROL* but was still lower than the N-desethyloxybutynin level produced by DITROPAN XL*. These findings are reflected in the area under the curve ratios of N-desethyloxvbutynin:oxybutvnin, where oxybutynin vaginal ring ratios were similar to the ratios reported for the transdermal system but substantially lower than ratios for the extended release tablets. Example 7 STUDY OF THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF 4 MG/DAY and 6 MG/DAY OXYBUTTYNIN VAGINAL RING 1001141 A randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to study the safety and efficacy of an oxybutynin vaginal ring releasing either 4 tug/day, 6 mg/day (as described in Example 2) or placebo for the treatment of overactive bladder in women who had symptoms of predominant or pure urge incontinence, urinary urgency, or increased urinary frequency. [001151 445 subjects entered the Treatment Period. The study included four periods: a Screening Period of up to two weeks, a single-blind three-week Placebo Run-In Period, a 12-week double-blind Treatment Period, and a two week Follow-up Period. There was one screening visit followed by 8 other clinic visits: two visits during the Placebo Run-in (Visit 1 (Placebo Run-In Week 1), Visit 2 (Placebo Run-Tn Week 3)) and five visits during the Treatment Period (Visit 3 (Baseline), Visit 4 (Treatment Week 1), Visit 5 (Treatment Week 4), Visit 6 (Treatment Week 8) and Visit 7 (Treatment Week 12)). There was a follow-up visit two weeks after the last Treatment Period visit (Visit 8 (Follow-up)). Randomization occurred at Visit I (start of single-blind Placebo Run-In) to ensure that subjects received visually matching Placebo and Treatment period vaginal rings. The subjects were separated into three treatment groups, either the 4 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring group, the 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring group, or a placebo vaginal ring group. [001161 During the study, four vaginal rings were inserted. Each used vaginal ring was replaced by a new vaginal ring at a scheduled time. Ring I was inserted at the start of Placebo Run-In period. Insertion was maintained throughout the three week Placebo Run-In period. Ring 2 was inserted at Visit 3 (Baseline). The vaginal ring was replaced WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 -31 one month thereafter: Ring 3 was inserted at Visit 5 (Treatment Week 4) and Ring 4 was inserted at Visit 6 (Treatment Week 8). This final vaginal ring was removed at Visit 7 (Treatment Week 12/Premature Discontinuation). 1001171 384 subjects (132 on the 4 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring, 119 on the 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring, and 133 on placebo vaginal ring) were included in the intention to-treat (ITT) cohort, having provided baseline data and at least one valid post-baseline assessment of the number of incontinence episodes. The modified intent-to- treat cohort (MITT) consisted of ITT patients who met all three criteria for the definition of overactive bladder at baseline (Visit 3), i.e., predominant or pure urge incontinence consisting of >10 pure or predominant discrete urge incontinence episodes per week, and average urinary frequency of >8 voids per 24 hours and average total void of : 3.9 L per 24 hours. The MITT cohort included 323 subjects. The PPC cohort further excluded patients with significant protocol deviations. Among the 384 ITT patients, 61 patients were excluded from the MITT cohort because they failed to niet at least one of the criteria at baseline. [00118] Dose selection for this study was established by pharmacokinetic studies conducted with the oxybutynin vaginal ring at doses of 2 mg/day, 4 mg/day, and 6 mg/day. See Examples 4 and 5. 1001191 The primary measure of efficacy was the change from Visit 3 (Baseline) to Visit 7 (Treatment Week 12 Premature Discontinuation) in the total weekly number of incontinence episodes (stress plus urge), calculated by converting the total number of incontinence episodes (stress plus urge) occurring during the 3 consecutive OAB diary days prior to Visits 3 and 7 to a weekly-based number of episodes, Secondary efficacy measureinents included the change from Visit 3 (Baseline) to Visit 7 (Treatment Week 12 /Premature Discontinuation) for the following: average daily urinary frequency, the proportion of subjects with no incontinence episodes recorded in the final 3-day diary, the average void volume, and average severity of urgency. [001201 The baseline characteristics number and percentage of subjects assigned to each of the analysis cohorts by treatment group are shown in Table 10.

A total of 25 of the 61 excluded subjects (41%) had < 10 incontinence episodes at baseline, 21 subjects (344%) had urinary frequency of < 8 voids per day, and 17 subjects (27.9%) had void volume > 3.0 liters per day. [001221 The Per-Protocol Completers (PPC) cohort consisted of 56.3% of the number of subjects included in the ITT cohort (216 PPC compared to 384 ITT subjects) and 66.9% of the number of MITT subjects (216 of 323 MITT subjects). Subjects excluded from the PPC Cohort (86 subjects) included those who violated study procedures. [001231 Table 11 summarizes the results of the analysis of the mean reduction in the number of incontinence episodes from baseline to the end of treatment for the ITT cohort.

0 6 1 3 ). The treatment effect observed for the 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring was approximately the same as the 4 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring. [00125] Any subject with qualifying values at baseline for all three principal inclusion criteria (> 10 incontinence episodes per week, an average urinary frequency:> 8 voids per day, and an average total void volume 3.0 liters per day) could have been considered as presenting with an etiology of pure urgency. Therefore, in an additional evaluation of the number of incontinence episodes, defined prior to breaking the blind and before finalizing the study database, an MITT (Modified Intent-to-Treat) cohort, that included this specific group of subjects, was defined. Although not considered the principal cohort for the evaluation of efficacy, the MITT cohort could be viewed as the most representative sample of subjects with OAB since it encompassed that group with the most well-defined set of attributes associated with a clinical presentation of OAB for clinical trials of new trea tments. 1001261 Table 12 highlights the efficacy analysis of the reduction in the number of incontinence episodes from baseline to the end of treatment for the MITT cohort.

[001271 Results suggest statistically significant treatment effects favorina the 4 ma/day and 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal rings over placebo in this highly symptomatic group of subjects, with the 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring exhibiting an effect that is the same as that observed for the 4 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring group. Thus, the lower dose of 4 mg/day was sufficient to reduce the number of total weekly incontinence episodes. The MITT cohort results may represent the most clinically meaningful outcome associated with the oxybutyiin vaginal ring because subjects in this cohort met the protocol specified definition of clinical signs and symptoms of primarily urge incontinence, i.e., at baseline (Visit 3), all MITT subjects met the required criteria for the weekly number of incontinence episodes, urinary frequency, and void volume. [001281 The PPC cohort summary statistics support the observed treatment effects for both active oxybutynin rings doses, with the observation that the 6 mg/day ring vaginal ring appears to provide no incremental benefit above that seen for the 4 mg/day vaginal ring. [001291 Table 13 and 14 present descriptive statistics for the ITT cohort by menopausal status. The randomization was stratified by menopausal status, but subset analysis of each group was not planned. Therefore, although p-values were calculated, they were not based on any pre-specified hypothesis. The number of pre-menopausal patients in the study was substantially fewer than the number of menopausal patients. 1001301 For pre-menopausal patients, the patients in the 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring group and placebo group responded similarly, while patients in the 4 mg/day oxybutynin WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 vaginal ring group did not see as great a decrease in total number of incontinence episodes.

[001351 Both treatment groups demonstrated a reduction in the weekly number of urge only incontinence episodes to a greater extent than the placebo group. Compared to placebo, the 4 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring (p=0.0558 for the ITT and p=0.0544 for the MITT cohort) experienced fewer urge-only incontinence episodes while the 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring in the MITT cohort (p=0,0223) experienced fewer urge-only incontinence episodes. As indicated for the total incontinence episode endpoint, the 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring provided no additive treatment effect compared to the 4 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring, but both oxybutynin vaginal rings demonstrated a greater magnitude of reduction of urge-only episodes compared to placebo for the MITT cohort (a differential reduction of 3.3 episodes greater than what was observed for placebo). [001361 The analysis of urge incontinence episodes was investigated by menopausal status and is presented in Tables 20 and 21 for the MITT cohort. Results were consistent with what was observed when considering the primary efficacy endpoint, the total weekly number of incontinence episodes. The magnitude of the difference in the mean reduction of urge-only incontinence episodes was greater for both oxybutynin vaginal rings groups in the MITT cohort compared to the ITT cohort, WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 - 39 Table 20.

For the MITT cohort, the proportions of subjects reporting no incontinence episodes at the end of treatment was substantially less for subjects receiving placebo (13.39%), leading to statistically significant differences favoring both 4 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring (p=0.0258) and 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal ring (p=O.0269), [001481 Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was recorded using a 100 mm scale, marked off in 10 segments. One end of the scale had the anchor "absence of symptoms" while the other WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 - 45 end had the anchor "unbearable symptoms." The patients were asked to circle a line on the scale indicating the best reflection of her subjective symptoms associated with overactive bladder overlooking the time window of the last 4 weeks, with I being the best and 10 beina the worst. [00149] Results of the analysis in VAS from baseline (visit 3) to End-of-Treatment for the ITT cohort are present in Table 33. For the ITT cohort, both the 4 mig/day oxybutynin ring (p=0.0199) and the 6 mg/day oxybutynin ring (p=0.0012) achieved significance in reducing the VAS compared to placebo.

Patients filled out the UDI, indicating which symptoms they had experienced in the past 4 weeks and, of those, how bothersome they were. The scale to assess how bothersome the symptoms were ranged from 0 to 3, 0 for "riot at all," I for "slightly", 2 for "moderately", and 3 for greatly." Analysis results of the change from baseline (Visit 3) to end-of-treatment (Visit 7) for all 19 questions for the ITT cohort are presented below. [00151] For the ITT cohort, statistically significant differences between the treatment groups and placebo were found in the assessment of the 6 different symptoms from the mean change from baseline (Visit 3) to end-of-treatment (Visit 7). Both the 4 mg/day and 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal rings achieved statistical significance compared to placebo for reducing the experience of frequent urination (4 mng/day p=0.0016, 6 mg/day p = 0.0007), the strong feeling of urgency to empty bladder (4 mg/day p =0.0277, 6 mg/day WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 - 46 p=0.0028), the experience of urine leakage related to the feeling of urgency (94mg/day p=0.0091, 6 mg/day p 0.0025), the experience of small arnounts of urine leakage (4 mg/day p =0.0056, 6 mg/day p=0.226), and the experience of large amounts of urinary leakage (4 mg/day p:=0.0260, 6 mg/day p=0.0030).

[001521 An Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ) was a list of 30 questions that referred to areas in the patient's life, which may have been influenced or changed by their incontinence problem. The questionnaire measured how severe women found accidental urine loss and/or prolapse had affected their activities, relationships, and feelings. The scale to access how severe the activity/relationship/feeling was affected ranged from 0 to 3, 0 for "not at all", I for "slightly", 2 for "moderately", and 3 for "greatly." In addition, 9 for "not applicable" indicated the environment for recording that scale no longer applied, therefore was treated as missing severity. Analysis results of the change from baseline (Visit 3) to end-of-treatment (Visit 7) for all 30 questions for the ITT cohort are presented below. [001531 For the ITT cohort, statistically significant differences between the treatment group and placebo were found in the assessment of 12 different questions for the mean change from baseline to end-of-study. Both 4 mg/day and 6 mg/day oxybutynin vaginal WO 2011/163356 PCT/US2011/041444 - 53 rings showed a significant reduction in the severity compared to placebo for the affect of incontinence on (i) the patient's ability to travel by car or bus for distances greater than 20 minutes away from home, and (2) sleep, 6 mig/dav Oxybutynin vaginal rings were able to achieve or approach statistical significance, compared to placebo, for further reducing the severity of the effect of incontinence on patient's shopping activities, entertainment activities such as going to a movie or concert, ability to travel by car or bus for distances < 20 minutes away from home, going places if you are not sure about available restrooms, going on vacation, church or temple attendance, participating in social activities outside your home, frustration, depression, and embarrassment.

No statistically significant differences between the 4 mg/day and 6 mg/day vaginal rings and placebo were observed with respect to change in average void volume per 24 hours, As a result of a decrease in urinary frequency and no change in average void volume per 24 hours, both active treatment vaginal rings had an average void volume increase of 5.32 mL for the ITT cohort (p=0.0126) and 4.94 mL for the MITT cohort (p=0.0444) compared to placebo. [00156] Mean VAS was reduced by 0.52 for the 4 mg/day (p=0.0199) and 1.23 (p=0.0012) for the 6 mg/day vaginal rings compared to placebo for the ITT cohort. For the MITT cohort, these reductions were 0.44 (p=0.0374) for the 4 mg/day vaginal rings and 1.12 (p=0.0045) for the 6 mg/day vaginal rings. [00157] Results showed that the 4 mg/day vaginal rings provided a level of active treatment effect that exceeded the effect of placebo alone and that the 6 mg/day vaginal rings provided similar results compared to placebo, in addition, was associated with greater reduction in urinary frequency compared to placebo than the 4 mug/day vaginal ring. When considering the MITT cohort consisting of patients who met all three criteria for incontinence at baseline (as opposed to the ITT cohort that included all three patients with analyzable data for the total incontinence episode endpoint), the magnitude of the effect for the oxybutynin vaginal ring groups, especially for the 4 mg/day vaginal rings, was even more evident. [00158] The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events reported with a frequency of 2% or greater, by body system, is provided in Table 75.
