Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Hyperplasia"

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction between doxazosin GITS and vardenafil on blood pressure (Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure) in patients with both ED and BPH.

The primary purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the change in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) total score from the beginning of the study to the end of the study for subjects randomized to tadalafil 5mg once a day dosing and placebo once a day dosing for 12 weeks of treatment.

This exploratory study will be conducted open label in a single investigational clinical unit. Altogether 52 patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) will be randomly assigned to receive 4 different treatments with degarelix.

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with two treatment arms (Tamsulosin OCAS 0.4 mg & placebo). The study comprises a 2-week placebo run-in followed by a 12-week treatment period.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) refers to the proliferation of smooth muscle and epithelial cells of the prostate gland. The enlarged gland has the potential to result in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to either bladder outlet obstruction or increased muscle tone and resistance, or both. For decades transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has been the gold standard for treatment of symptomatic BPH that is refractory to nonoperative management. This is a surgical intervention aimed to reduce the size of the prostate gland. However, over the past fifteen years, many alternative therapies have been introduced including laser enucleation of the prostate (LEP). LEP has numerous advantages including decreased blood loss and length of hospital stay as well as increased effectiveness and safety for large prostate gland sizes (>80g).

The primary study objective is to evaluate improvement of symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as assessed by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at 12 months post prostatic artery embolization (PAE) with bland microspheres.

This is a single center, prospective, investigational study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) for the treatment of moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Embolization will be performed with LC Bead LUMI particles using a balloon occlusion microcatheter or standard microcatheter.

The HistoSonics' Histotripsy BPH Device, the Vortx Rx, is a portable ultrasound therapy device. The purpose of this study is to assess and monitor the performance of the Vortx Rx for initial safety and efficacy for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the daily consumption of decaffeinated green tea catechins (Polyphenon E®) for 1 year reduces the rate of progression to prostate cancer (PCa) in men diagnosed with HGPIN or ASAP. The aim was to recruit and treat 240 (120 men/arm) men diagnosed with the prostate condition HGPIN or ASAP with a capsule form of standardized green tea extract called Polyphenon E or placebo for a 12-month period and see if it can prevent progression of the prostate condition to prostate cancer. Investigators wanted to see if Polyphenon E reduces lower urinary tract symptoms and if this can be taken safely over one year. Investigators wanted to study how Polyphenon E is able to slow the progression to prostate cancer, or the mechanism of action of Polyphenon E. If the safety and the effects of Polyphenon E on slowing down the progression of prostate cancer is shown in our study, this will be a safe way of treating men who are at high risk or men like you who have a prostate condition that increases your chances of getting prostate cancer, so that we can prevent prostate cancer in the future.

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging, may help in learning how well dutasteride works in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy and low-risk prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging in patients receiving dutasteride for benign prostatic hypertrophy and low-risk prostate cancer.
