Study summary

Overactive bladder (OAB) is characterized by urinary urgency with or without urge urinary incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia, in the absence of urinary tract infection or other obvious pathology. Antimuscarinic agents such as solifenacin are commonly used but may provide incomplete symptom control. Tadalafil (a Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitorsinhibitor) has been reported to improve lower urinary tract symptoms and may offer additional benefit in overactive bladder. This randomized controlled trial evaluates the efficacy and tolerability of solifenacin 5 mg plus tadalafil 5 mg versus solifenacin 5 mg alone in females with overactive bladder using the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS).

    Time frame: Baseline and 1 month

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in total Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) at 3 months

    Difference in total OABSS from baseline to 3 months.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from May 2025 to primary completion in Nov 2025, 6 months.

Of 133 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Urinary Bladder, Overactive, half reached primary completion within 22 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 40. This study's 6 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 174 studies reached it within 19 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 40.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 31, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
