Committee Recommendations (1)

The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC) approves vibegron as an option for treating the symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome in adults.

Vibegron is only recommended if antimuscarinic medicines are not suitable, do not work well enough or have unacceptable side effects, as recommended by NICE in TA999.

Vibegron for this indication will be considered as GREEN on the traffic light system. Vibegron will be placed alongside mirabegron in the OAB pathway but mirabegron will be the preferred 1st line where both these two treatments may be suitable.

Vibegron does not have an identified place in therapy in preference to mirabegron.

 It was noted that vibegron has a BLACK triangle status with no evidence of advantages over Mirabegron, a well-established treatment, and it is therefore expected to have a very limited place in therapy in Surrey Heartlands ICB until more evidence becomes available
