Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Hyperplasia"

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of ozarelix compared to placebo in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men as assessed by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at Week 14.

This is a prospective, open label single center feasibility study to demonstrate basic safety and effectiveness of prostate artery embolization for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) in a small series of patients with large (≥90 grams) glands.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) describes a common medical condition in men over 45 associated with voiding (obstructive) and storage (irritative) lower urinary tract symptoms and is in part related to prostate enlargement and obstruction. The standard medical therapy for this condition includes 5-alpha reductase inhibitors -5ARI (eg dutasteride) or alpha blocker therapy (eg tamsulosin), while the most effective medical therapy for BPH is the combination of these two medications. Approximately 10 to 20% of patients diagnosed with BPH also have either a diagnosis of or symptoms of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) with typical genito-urinary pain and discomfort. This particular subset of patients of BPH patients with prostatitis symptoms pose a therapeutic dilemma. CP/CPPS (organ specific phenotype) is the third most prevalent prostate disease after prostate cancer and BPH. CP/CPPS is very prevalent (3-9% of men) and represents a significant percentage of urology outpatients (3-8% of male outpatient visits)resulting in a major impact on quality of life of patients and economic costs to society. Clinical phenotyping allows for prediction of the patients with CP/CPPS most likely to respond to dutasteride and tamsulosin (age, Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms [LUTS] and prostate related phenotypes [BPH]). It can be estimated that up to 30% of men currently diagnosed with CP/CPPS will include men with co-existing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) We propose to determine the efficacy of JALYN (dutasteride-tamsulosin combination) in the amelioration of prostatitis symptoms in men diagnosed with CP/CPPS who have the following clinical phenotype; age = 45 years, Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS), enlarged prostate and Organ (prostate) specific symptoms (eg. BPH and CP/CPPS).

To compare intraoperative as well as postoperative outcomes of SOLTIVE Thulium Fiber Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (ThuFLEP) vs Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate. Our hypothesis is that utilizing the SOLTIVE Thulium laser enucleation of the prostate will result in a more efficient procedure, comparable results to that of Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate and subjective improvement of prior device limitations

The purpose of the study is to determine whether LY500307 helps symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) is a common and bothersome condition of aging men. It is characterized by an enlargement of the prostate occurring in human male over the age of 50 which increases in prevalence with age, and among those aged 50 to 80, about 40% report moderate or severe urinary symptoms of prostatism. The aim of treatment is to improve patients' quality of life which primarily depends on the severity of the symptoms of BPH. Current treatments of BPH have a benefit / risk ratio which leaves room for improvement. For this study, study medication (Cetrorelix pamoate or placebo) is administered by injection in the buttocks (Intramuscular). All patients completing the double-blind portion (Week 0 to 52) are eligible to receive the active drug during the open-label part of the study (Week 52 to 90).

The purpose of the study is to compare two alpha blockers, terazosin and doxazosin GITS, in achieving a successful TWOC after AUR due to BPH, among Chinese males in Hong Kong, and in delaying or avoiding a TURP.

The purpose of the study is to compare alfuzosin GITS once daily versus placebo in achieving a successful TWOC after AUR due to BPH, among Chinese males in Hong Kong, and in delaying or avoiding a TURP.

The Rezum system is an ablative procedure for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). One of the limitations of the technology is the need for post-operative catheterization up to 5 days. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of employing Catheterless Rezum post-operatively in patients with normal or strong bladder contractility. Upon a positive outcome of interim analysis, the effectiveness of Catheterless Rezum will be assessed at five sites for the multicenter phase.

The enlargement of the prostate is responsible for voiding dysfunction in men, and especially elderly men. The primary surgical treatment for symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) was transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). However, current resection techniques are predominantly experience-based and judgment-based, with little evidence to support the most effective portion of the prostate to be respected. So, the investigators plan through the study to construct a flow diagram to evaluate the amount of tissue needed to be resected to improve voiding flow dynamics.
