Active clinical trials for "Hyperplasia"

PROMED is a prospective, single center translational multiple cohort study to investigate the association of prostate medication and gut microbiota. The main aim is to investigate how prostate hormonal therapy (5-ARI, ADT) affects gut microbiota composition. Aalso study metabolic characteristics in the gut and systemic circulation in men with different medications will be studied. In addition, the effect of gut microbiota on patient's response to medications will be investigated. The medicines used in the study to treat benign prostate hyperplasia are dutasteride and finasteride and a combination of dutasteride and tamsulosin. LHRH antagonist degarelix is used as a medication to treat patients with cancer. The dosages of 5-ARI medication: dutasteride 0,5mg x1 or finasteride 5mg x1 or combination of dutasteride and tamsulosin 0,5/0,4mg x1. The starting dose of LHRH antagonist degarelix is 120mgx2 and the maintenance dose is 80mgx1. The medication for PCa is planned according to the protocol but so that each subject receives degarelix at the beginning of treatment and one month after initiation. Thereafter, the medication is continued according to the clinician's assessment. The study is carried out in Turku University Hospital and University of Turku.

Despite the high-quality evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HOLEP), wide adoption of the procedure is hindered by learning difficulties. Veil-sparing HOLEP was popularized with a standardized approach to learning. Prospective multicenter assessment of the learning curve of HoLEP through a novel technique with structured learning protocol. Learning outcome measures will be assessed against time and number of performed cases of new learners in a multicenter study.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a very common pathology of the aging man with an incidence that rises from 40% in men aged 50 to 60 years to 90% in men over 80 years. Studies such as the MTOPS (the Medical Therapy of Prostatic Symptoms) study show that more than half of the patients recruited had an aggravation of their disease over time either by an increase in symptoms or by the appearance of complications such as acute retention of urine. For benign symptomatic prostate hypertrophy, apart from any complication, first-line treatment is now a medical treatment. For patients who respond poorly to medical treatment or who have complications related to benign prostatic hypertrophy, the treatment becomes surgical. The reference treatment is endoscopic prostate resection (TURP). It is mainly to improve the safety of hemostasis in patients older and older and at significant surgical risk that new "minimally invasive" surgical techniques have emerged. Thus, lasers have been developed and are currently used as an alternative to the TURP. Used in clinical practice since 2000, prostatic photosensitive vaporization (PVP) relies on the absorption of a 532nm (green) wavelength laser beam by the oxyhemoglobin contained in richly vascularized prostate tissue. Given the aging of the population, more and more patients are being treated with oral anticoagulants (Anti Vitamin K (AVK) or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)). Today there are about 1.4 million people on oral anticoagulants, 40% of whom are over 80 years of age. The peri-operative management of the AVK is currently based on the recommendations published by the FHA (French Health Authority) in 2008. Concerning the perioperative management of DOACs, the perioperative haemostasis interest group (GIHP) made proposals updated in September 2015. Numerous studies published in the literature have concluded the feasibility of prostate removal surgery by PVP with greenlight laser without relay (or interruption) of AVK or DOACs because of the properties of hemostasis. But the levels of evidence for these studies remain low. No study has focused on rigorously assessing the perioperative hemorrhagic risk associated with OAC therapy in patients eligible for PVP, and this is the originality of this study. This study is a multicenter prospective randomized study whose objective is to show that the PVP performed in patients with OAC is not associated with an increase in perioperative hemorrhagic risk.

To demonstrate the safety and feasibility of the Mercury Expander system and procedure to treat patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to urinary outflow obstruction from benign prostatic hyperplasia.

A clinical evaluation to assess the safety and performance of the ProVeeTM Urethral Expander System, designed to alleviate the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).

This is a Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of crinecerfont versus placebo administered for 28 weeks in approximately 81 pediatric participants with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The study consists of a 28-week double blind, placebo-controlled period, followed by 24 weeks of open-label treatment with crinecerfont. Subsequently, participants may elect to participate in the open-label extension (OLE) period. The duration of participation in the study is approximately 14 months for the core study and will be a variable amount of time per participant for the OLE (estimated to be approximately 3 years).

This study is a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, phase III study of Chronocort® compared with immediate-release hydrocortisone replacement therapy in participants aged 16 years and over with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

An investigation of the efficacy and safety of up to 70 weeks of treatment with Tildacerfont in subjects with classic CAH who have elevated biomarkers at baseline on their current GC regimen. Optional open label treatment extension period up to 240 weeks with 200mg tildacerfont QD.

This is a clinical evaluation to assess the safety and performance of the Zenflow Spring System when used as intended to relieve symptoms of obstructive Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).

This phase II trial studies how well megestrol acetate with or without pterostilbene works in treating patients with endometrial cancer undergoing hysterectomy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as megestrol acetate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Pterostilbene is an antioxidant found in blueberries or grapes, and it has been shown to be effective in killing tumor cells and reducing cancer burden. It is not yet known whether giving megestrol acetate with or without pterostilbene may work better in treating patients with endometrial cancer.
