Efficacy of Vibegron in Overactive Bladder: A Bayesian Cross-Trial Synthesis of Benefit Probabilities and Decision Thresholds.

OBJECTIVES: To synthesize published placebo-controlled trials of vibegron monotherapy for overactive bladder (OAB) and quantify posterior probabilities of benefit and decision-threshold exceedance. CONCLUSIONS: Bayesian cross-trial synthesis demonstrates a high probability that vibegron improves key OAB voiding-diary outcomes at Week 12.
