Withdrawn study: could adding a pill to botox tame overactive bladder?
NCT ID NCT06438861
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study planned to see if adding the daily pill vibegron to standard Botox bladder injections helps women with overactive bladder that hasn't improved with other treatments. Researchers aimed to compare changes in urgent leaks and symptom distress over 12 weeks. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no new information was gathered.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Vibegron (a daily pill) plus onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) injections into the bladder
- What this could lead to
- If it had worked, this could point toward a more effective combination treatment for women with stubborn overactive bladder symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available. Combination therapy for overactive bladder is still experimental and may not prove better than standard care.
