Frank,

Total continence was achieved by around 29% of the high-dose group, vs. around 14% of placebo (p=.057) and 25% for the low-dose group.

I'm not sure how these 2-week numbers would compare with a longer trial. In longer trials of oxy, improvement was reported as stable over the trial.

Given that in actual practice you compare to base-line (not too many placebos for sale out there) and the total market is reported as 17 million, if these numbers held up it, would mean that around 5 million people could achieve continence by taking this drug.
