Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Hyperplasia"

This study is an open-label, randomized, single dose, multi-stage, cross-over study in healthy male subjects of North East Asian ancestry. The aims are to: evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters of several formulations of a fixed dose combination (FDC) capsule of dutasteride and tamsulosin hydrochloride (0.5 mg/0.2 mg) relative to co-administration of dutasteride 0.5 mg capsules and tamsulosin hydrochloride 0.2 mg tablets in the fasted state in order to define a formulation which is bioequivalent to a 0.2 mg orally disintegrating tamsulosin tablet, (Harnal-D Tablets) determine the effect of food on the relative bioavailability of tamsulosin in the FDC product which is assessed to be bioequivalent to Harnal-D Tablets in the fasted state assess the effect of water on the relative bioavailability of tamsulosin in Harnal-D Tablets in the fasted state assess the safety and tolerability of dosing with the different FDC capsule formulations Subjects will receive single oral doses in at least one treatment period; treatment periods will be separated by a 5-10 day washout period. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be taken at regular intervals after dosing. Safety will be assessed by measurement of blood pressure, heart rate and review of adverse events. Each stage of the study will enrol 18 subjects to ensure 16 complete. Subjects may consent to participate in more than one stage.

The investigators are now proposing to compare two laser techniques for treating Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH); Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HOLEP) versus (greenlight) XPS which is a recently available technology in our center and is more efficient hence our choice to include patients with any size prostate. This will confirm whether the two techniques are equivalent in efficacy and safety independent of size as well as cost. The two techniques are available world wide as standard of care

The PVP by Greenlight laser 180W is becoming a potential therapeutic alternative in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) as recommended. The PVP creates a prostatic box after the vaporization of the prostatic tissue of BPH. The underlying prostatic tissue is the site of an ischemic necrosis secondary to the thermal effects of proximity of the PVP. We intend to measure by prostatic MRI and contrast-enhanced ultrasound the necrosis.

To study the early onset of symptomatic relief afforded by FLOMAX® capsules, 0.4 mg daily as compared to HYTRIN® capsules, 5 mg (with titration) daily in patients with the signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) To evaluate patient's tolerability to the use of FLOMAX® capsules 0.4 mg daily in comparison to HYTRIN® capsules, 5 mg (with titration) daily for the treatment of the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia

To establish whether the administration of FLOMAX® improves the outcome of a trial without catheter (TWOC) after an episode of acute urinary retention and to determine whether spontaneous voiding is maintained over the course of six months of active treatment

Epidural lidocaine is widely used in anesthesia for urologic or lower abdominal surgery because of its rapid onset. But the epidural anesthesia using high concentration of lidocaine may cause excessive motor block and unwanted side effects such as nausea, vomiting and hypotension. This is a study to determine the effective concentration of lidocaine with fentanyl in lumbar epidural anesthesia for transurethral resection of prostate in elderly patients.

This is a Phase I/II investigator sponsored FDA-approved Investigational Device Exemption protocol, with the primary goal of determining the safety of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Our primary goal is to document the frequency of side effects, particularly bladder and rectal complications, which may occur as a result of this procedure. Secondarily, the study will provide preliminary data to determine its effectiveness in diminishing obstructive symptoms associated with BPH.

This will be an open-label, three-period, fixed-sequence study to evaluate the drug-drug interaction, pharmacokinetics and safety of dutasteride and tamsulosin when administered alone and in-combination in Chinese healthy male volunteers.

The study compares procedural and post procedural outcomes for photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic enlargement causing bladder outlet obstruction. The study requires use of the CE marked GreenLight XPS™ Laser System (GreenLight XPS) or a CE marked monopolar or bipolar loop TURP system for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Clinical study to examine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of long-term combination therapy of tamsulosin and solifenacin in the treatment of males with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with a substantial storage component.
