Brief Summary  
Ureteral stents are used routinely in urological practice for therapeutic as well as palliative purposes. However, ureteral stents are associated with significant patient discomfort, with up to 80% patients reporting stent related symptoms following their insertion. Stent related symptoms comprise of numerous complaints including irritative voiding symptoms, incomplete emptying, flank and suprapubic pain as well as incontinence and hematuria. Various measures have been tried to prevent and alleviate stent related symptoms including mechanical as well as pharmacological therapy.

Pharmacological therapy including analgesics, antimuscarinics and alpha blockers remain the most effective alternative to manage stent related symptoms. Alpha blockers such as tamsulosin have shown benefical results in alleviating stent related symptoms as compared to alfuzosin in various studies. Multiple RCTs have demonstrated beneficial effect of antimuscarinics like solifenacin and tolterodine in improving stent related symptoms. However, alpha blocker commonly lead to orthostatic hypotension and dizziness, while antimuscarinics are associated with dry mouth, constipation and blurred vision. These add to patient discomfort and deter treatment compliance.

Mirabegron is a recently approved beta-3 adrenoceptor agonist for treatment of overactive bladder. It relaxes the detrusor muscle, especially during storage phase. Also, beta-3 adrenoceptors have been  demonstrated in the mucosa as well as the muscular layers of the ureter. Beta-3 agonists should act on the distal ureter causing it’s dilatation, and alleviate stent related symptoms.In the bladder, they act on the involuntary contractions of the bladder and relieve overactive bladder like symptoms. Mirabegron has demonstrated better tolerability with lesser side effects as compared to antimuscarinics like tolterodine. Mirabegron has shown improvement in stent related symptoms, especially bodily pain and storage urinary symptoms in comparison to placebo in an open label study (Tae et al, 2018). 3 clinical trials (NCT02744430, NCT02095665, NCT02462837) are underway to evaluate its role in relieving stent related  symptoms.

With this background, we propose to study the efficacy of this novel drug, mirabegron in comparison to established benchmarks, tamsulosin and solifenacin in reducing stent related symptoms in patients with ureteral stents.
