Aim: Because bacterial cystitis is common in women with refractory detrusor overactivity, the aim was to compare the efficacy of 6 weeks of rotating antibiotics versus placebo, in conjunction with an anticholinergic, in controlling the symptoms of urge incontinence. Methods: In a multicenter phase IIb double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial, women with urodynamically proven refractory detrusor overactivity were randomized in a 2:1 ratio of antibiotics versus placebo for 6 weeks, in addition to darifenacin for 6 months. Any woman with disabling cystitis symptoms was given appropriate antibiotics (“clinical override”). The primary outcome was the degree of urge incontinence change at 6 weeks and 6 months on 24-h pad test.

Results: Although 278 women were screened, only 36 were randomized and
