Change From Baseline in Bladder Volume at First Detrusor Contraction at 6 Weeks
baseline and up to 6 weeks of treatment Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)

Bladder volume was measure by means of urodynamic assessments (cystometry) for up to 6 weeks. Missing data were imputed with last observation carried forward (LOCF).

Change From Baseline in Average Number of Daily Micturitions at 6 Weeks
baseline and up to 6 weeks of treatment LOCF

Change from baseline in the number of daily micturitions (bladder voidings), as reported in the participant diaries for up to 6 weeks. Missing data were imputed with last observation carried forward (LOCF).
