Erectile dysfunction drug tested for bladder control in women
NCT ID NCT07416968
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two medicines—tadalafil (a drug often used for erectile dysfunction) and solifenacin (a standard OAB treatment)—to see which works better for women with overactive bladder. About 480 women in Egypt will take one pill daily for 12 weeks. Researchers will track symptoms like urgency and frequency using bladder diaries and questionnaires.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- tadalafil 5 mg and solifenacin 5 mg
- What this could lead to
- If tadalafil works better, it could offer women a new, once-daily pill option for overactive bladder with possibly fewer side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 4 trial comparing two existing drugs, so no breakthrough is expected. Tadalafil may not outperform solifenacin, and side effects like headache or upset stomach are possible.
