Official title
Mirabegron in Patients With Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treated for Overactive Bladder: A Study Protocol for a Non-Randomized Prospective Controlled Trial
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Mirabegron works to treat dry AMD in patients, aged between 50 and 80 years-old, with early or moderate dry AMD and overactive bladder. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is there any change in outer retina morphology in patients treated? Researchers will compare the safety and efficacy of mirabegron versus conventional approach (Solifenacin) to treat dry AMD in patients with dry AMD and overactive bladder. Participants will: * Take Mirabegron or Solifenacin every day for 12 months * Visit the clinic once every 6 months for checkups and tests
Interventions
- Drug Mirabegron 50mg
Mirabegron (50mg/day per os) will be administered in patients with dry AMD and overactive bladder (MMirabegron arm) - Drug Solifenacin 5mg
Solifenacin (5mg/day per os) will be administered in control group (dry amd and overactive bladder)
Primary outcome measures
- Changes in outer retinal morphology using SD-OCT [Time frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months]
- Changes in FAF assessing [Time frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- mean BCVA [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months]
- Mean macular sensitivity (MS) [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months]

- Pregnancy
- Any condition or disease that in the opinion of the investigators may put the subject at significant risk or may interfere significantly with the subject's participation in the study (i. e. malignancy, uncontrolled or cardiovascular diseases)
