Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Hyperplasia"

In patients with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), is treatment using photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP 120 Watt) as effective and cost-effective as the standard treatment of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)? A higher-power (120W) laser system has recently been approved by Health Canada for the treatment of an enlarged prostate. This system, which uses laser energy to vaporize the prostate tissue, will be compared with the current standard treatment of transurethral resection of the prostate. This newer generation laser may offer more efficient removal of prostate tissue with fewer complications and may result in clinical and economic benefits compared to the standard treatment. However, there have been no studies comparing the 120W laser with the standard transurethral resection of the prostate. This study will provide currently unavailable information for clinicians and decision makers.

To gain clinical experience with the GreenLight HPS System, a system designed to vaporize and coagulate tissue in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia to reduce lower urinary tract symptoms.

Uroxatral (alfuzosin) may not only help BPH symptoms but may also improve sexual function in males with BPH and ED.

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of SL77.0499-10 10mg once daily over placebo and the non-inferiority versus tamsulosin hydrochloride after 12 weeks treatment in terms of the efficacy in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms related to BPH. The secondary objective is to assess the safety of SL77.0499-10 in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms related to BPH in comparison with placebo and tamsulosin hydrochloride.

The purpose of this study is to test whether an extract of the saw palmetto plant is effective for relieving symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).

The current study is being conducted by the Sponsor to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GV1001 (0.56 mg and 1.12 mg) administered as a treatment for Benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH). The investigational drug, GV1001, was first developed as a cancer vaccine for use as active immunotherapy of cancer forms expressing telomerase (eg, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, etc.). Subsequently, it was found that GV1001 showed efficacy in alleviating BPH symptoms during in vivo studies by reducing the size of the prostate gland. Based on the result, the effectiveness of GV1001 as a treatment for BPH has been assessed in experimental animals that are designed to develop BPH. It is considered that GV1001 acts to alleviate BPH and the results obtained from previous phase II study indicate that GV1001 may provide potential beneficial effects in BPH patients. So this study is to verify the efficacy and safety of GV1001 on BPH population, large-scale clinical study than phase II.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, double-dummy, parallel group, 48-week study to evaluated the efficacy and safety of DKF-313 (dutasteride and tadalafil) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Spermotrend is a natural based product manufactured by Catalysis Laboratories. Its composition contains different essential elements for spermatogenesis: selenium, zinc and fructose. In addition, it contains L-arginine, natural precursor of nitric oxide that favors vasodilation, and pygeum africanum extract with antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antiandrogenic and antiproliferative action. Its main action resides in the control of oxidative damage to the tissues of the male reproductive system, as well as the control of correct spermatogenesis. Given that sperm quality can be altered by oxidative stress and that male infertility affects more and more people, the prevention and management of this deterioration becomes increasingly important. Therefore, to evaluate Spermotrend as a new therapy for male infertility, the investigators are going to study the safety and efficacy of this treatment in this clinical trial. RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS The treatment with Spermotrend improves the parameters of the spermatogenesis. GENERAL OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and the safety level of the natural Spermotrend product in the treatment of male infertility. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES Evaluate the increase in sperm motility and concentration. Identify the improvement in the seminal fluid volume. Identify the positive changes in the sperm morphology. Determine how to maintain the semen analysis in a normal range. Describe the adverse effects. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES Identify the improvement in urinary symptoms related with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Identify the improvement in varicocele.

The objective of the RELIEF Study is to compare the safety, effectiveness and patient experience outcomes in real-world subjects treated with different modalities for symptomatic BPH.

Rationale: The treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic enlargement in men with transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) may offer advantages in functional outcomes and safety over current standard therapies. As the technique is relatively new, indications and outcomes for this treatment are subject of investigation. However, the technique is already applied outside clinical studies. Clinical information from these treatments can be useful for future research. The aim of this study is to collect data on patients treated with transperineal laser ablation of the prostate outside clinical trials and to provide data on safety and functional outcomes in these patients in order to improve treatment. Objective: To assess long-term efficacy of transperineal laser ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms, to assess functional outcomes, to assess safety, to determine baseline patient characteristics, to collect information on possible differences between centres applying treatment of transperineal laser ablation and to explore the optimal treatment indications and possible limitations. Study design: This is an international prospective observational study in which data is recorded of patients who are treated with transperineal laser ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms. Study population: Male patients treated with transperineal laser ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic enlargement. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint of this study is long-term efficacy of transperineal laser ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms measured by the time until surgical retreatment.
