Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are children aged 5 to 14 years with daytime urinary incontinence who have not responded adequately to non-pharmacological treatments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have previously been treated with solifenacin or mirabegron, or those with contraindications to these medications, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness of combination therapy using solifenacin and mirabegron compared to high-dose monotherapy of each medication in treating daytime urinary incontinence in children aged 5 to 14 years. A total of 236 children who have not fully responded to previous treatments will be randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups for an 18-week period. The study will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, and impact on quality of life associated with these treatments. The design is multicenter, randomized, and single-blinded to ensure robust results.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a more effective treatment option for children suffering from daytime urinary incontinence.
How similar studies have gone: While the treatment of daytime urinary incontinence in children has been explored, this specific combination therapy approach is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
