ALF-STONE: Alfuzosin in Uretheric Stones
Prostatic HyperplasiaThe aim of the study is to assess the effect of Alfuzosin compared with placebo, for 7 days, on the outcome of patients with uretheric stones submitted to Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), namely in the percentage of patients without imagiologic evidence of any stone after 72h to 96 hours. This study will also specifically focus on the evaluation of time of stone clearance and of pain reduction (Numeric Rating Scale).

Prostatic Artery Embolization vs Medication for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
BPHEnlarged Prostate (BPH)1 morePurpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is as effective as medication (non-inferiority) in reducing urinary symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and to determine if PAE will result in less adverse events compared to medication in individual patients. Participants: Study subjects will be 30 men who have taken BPH medication for at least 6 months and planning to undergo PAE. Subjects will be enrolled across 3 sites. Procedures (methods): This will be a single arm, non-blinded study of PAE using HydroPearl Beads. Subjects will be compared to themselves. The study will involve 6 study visits: an enrollment/baseline visit, the PAE procedure, and 1 day, 3 month, 6 month, and 12 month follow-up visits. Subjects will complete questionnaires and uroflowmetry testing at baseline and each follow-up visit. Subjects will also obtain an MRI at baseline and their 6 month follow-up visit.

Prostatic HyperplasiaOpen-label, 6 month-treatment with the IP in all subjects. - Sample size: A total of 90 subjects will be enrolled so that among them at least 57 will complete the 6-month treatment period and evaluable for analysis. -Primary objective: To assess the safety of 0.5 mg dutasteride/0.4 mg tamsulosin combination therapy for six month in BPH patients by monitoring category, frequency and severity of adverse events encountered during the treatment period. -Secondary objective: To assess the efficacy of 0.5 mg dutasteride/0.4 mg tamsulosin combination therapy with regard to symptom improvement in BPH patients by monitoring and analyzing of changes in IPSS and Qmax after 6 months of treatment.
Comparison of Finasteride and Tamsulosin for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) (MK-0906A-149...
Benign Prostatic HyperplasiaThis study is designed to compare safety and efficacy of monotherapy finasteride to combination therapy (finasteride and tamsulosin) in Asian men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who are at least 50 years of age or older. The primary hypotheses are that concomitantly-dosed finasteride 5 mg and tamsulosin 0.2 mg will be superior with respect to BPH symptoms compared to monotherapy with finasteride 5 mg as measured by change from baseline on the International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) and will be superior with respect to prostate volume reduction compared to montherapy with tamsulosin 0.2 mg as measured by percent change from baseline in prostate volume.
