Abstract
PURPOSE: Many patients with overactive bladder discontinue pharmacotherapy due to suboptimal efficacy or side effects. Mirabegron, a β3-adrenoceptor agonist, may offer an effective and well tolerated alternative treatment for overactive bladder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial was conducted in the United States and Canada. After a 2-week placebo run-in period, adults with overactive bladder symptoms for 3 or more months were randomized 1:1:1 to receive placebo, 50 or 100 mg mirabegron once daily for 12 weeks. Efficacy data were collected via patient completed diaries and quality of life assessments. Co-primary efficacy end points were changes from baseline to final visit in mean number of incontinence episodes per 24 hours and micturitions per 24 hours. Key secondary micturition and incontinence end points were also evaluated. Safety assessments included treatment emergent adverse events, laboratory assessments, vital signs, electrocardiograms and post-void residual volume. RESULTS: Compared to placebo, 50 and 100 mg mirabegron groups demonstrated statistically significantly greater mean decreases (95% CI) from baseline for incontinence episodes (-1.13 [-1.35, -0.91], -1.47 [-1.69, -1.25] and -1.63 [-1.86, -1.40]) and micturitions (-1.05 [-1.31, -0.79], -1.66 [-1.92, -1.40] and -1.75 [-2.01, -1.48]) per 24 hours (p <0.05). Significant improvements in all key secondary end points were observed for both mirabegron doses vs placebo. The incidence of frequently reported treatment emergent adverse events (hypertension, urinary tract infection, headache, nasopharyngitis) was similar in the mirabegron and placebo groups. Dry mouth was reported for 1.5%, 0.5% and 2.1% of patients in the placebo, 50 and 100 mg mirabegron groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Once daily mirabegron in a 50 or 100 mg dose is an effective treatment for overactive bladder symptoms with a low occurrence of side effects.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
