Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients with non-neurogenic urge urinary incontinence, neurogenic urge urinary
incontinence, or mixed urge urinary incontinence with a clinically significant urge
component

- Patients currently taking medications for urge urinary incontinence (that are listed
in the protocol) including immediate-release oxybutynin chloride, or patients not
currently taking medication for urge urinary incontinence who have had at least 6 urge
urinary incontinence episodes during the 1-week Run-in Period

- Patients who are able to differentiate incontinent episodes associated with urgency
from incontinent episodes not associated with urgency when recording incontinent
episodes in the diary

- Patients who are in good general health prior to study participation, without
significant bacteria or fewer than 10 WBC/hpf on urinalysis, or a negative urine
culture

- Patients agreeing that a medically acceptable and effective birth control method will
be used by the patient and partner throughout the study and for one week following the
end of the study-drug treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with known treatable genitourinary conditions that may cause incontinence
(e.g., urinary tract infection, prostatitis, urinary tract obstruction, bladder tumor,
bladder stone, prostate cancer)

- Patients with narrow-angle glaucoma or untreated narrow anterior chamber angles
obstructive uropathy, partial or complete obstruction or narrowing of the
gastrointestinal tract, paralytic ileus, intestinal atony, colitis or myasthenia
gravis

- Patients with known allergy or hypersensitivity to oxybutynin chloride, or with
clinically significant medical problems or other organ abnormality or pathology for
whom, administration of oxybutynin chloride would present undue risk

- Male patients who have had prostate surgery less than six months before study
enrollment or any history of prostate cancer

- Patients who have been treated with anticholinergic medications for urge urinary
incontinence and have been found to be not responsive to these treatments, and
patients who are at significant risk of developing complete urinary retention if
placed on an anticholinergic medication
