About the study
The TRIUMPH study is a randomized, double-blinded, 3-arm, parallel-group trial designed tocompare the effects of anticholinergic bladder therapy versus a) beta-3-adrenergic agonistbladder therapy and b) no bladder pharmacotherapy on cognitive, urinary, and other aging-related functional outcomes in ambulatory older women with urgency-predominant urinaryincontinence and either normal or mildly impaired cognitive function at baseline.
