Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
The efficacy of vibegron (MK-4618) in humans was evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials in patients with overactive bladder (OAB; see NCT03583372 and NCT03492281). In both of these studies vibegron was directly compared to tolterodine tartrate which is a non-selective murcarinic receptor antagonist that is used to manage urinary incontinence.
In December 2020, the FDA approved vibegron as a once-daily therapeutic for OAB.
