Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Hyperplasia"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single treatment of PRX302 for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) as compared to placebo.

Study to evaluate the therapeutic effect of tamsulosin and finasteride in symptomatic BPH patients, two medications indicated in BPH belonging to two different pharmacological classes, as evaluated from the point of view of patient's perception of his pathological condition and of the impact of the disease on general health and quality of life

The primary objective is to assess the safety of GI198745 0.05mg, 0.5mg, 2.5mg once daily for 52 weeks.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common problem among aging Caucasian men that produces significant morbidity and hea1th care costs. It is likely that BPH is just as common among Chinese men. Debate exists as to whether currently available surgical and pharmacological options for BPH are appropriate for men in the watchful-waiting stage of this condition. Evidence suggests that the consumption of soy isoflavones is related to lower rates of BPH among Asian men. The advantages of soy isoflavones over conventional therapies may include better patient compliance, improved safety and lower cost. Despite the fact that soy isoflavones are safe and contain a health-conferring ingredient with a defined mechanism of action, no randomised control trial has been performed using isoflavones to treat BPH. Therefore, a randomised control trial is proposed to test the tolerability and effectiveness of soy isoflavones (Soylife) verses placebo in 182 men with defined watchful waiting BPH over a period of 12 months. In this trial, patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria, will either be given 40mg of soy isoflavones capsule (once daily) or a placebo capsule. They will be reviewed every three months with maximal urine flow rate, international prostate symptoms score and quality of life measured. Baseline tests include RFT, LFT, FBC, MSU, PSA and testosterone and to be repeated at 6th month and 12th month. The investigators hypothesize that this intervention will reduce lower urinary tract symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.

This is an open-label extension study of another study protocol, MCS-2-TWN-a. Subjects who have completed the 12-week treatment and procedures under the protocol MCS-2-TWN-a will be eligible for this study.

This is an investigator-initiated study of safety, efficacy and tolerability of dutasteride given for 18 months, including a 1-year double-blind randomized co-administration with either tolterodine ER or placebo in men suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) including urgency and frequency, with or without urgency urinary incontinence (i.e., overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms).

The aim of this study is to compare medical efficacy and cost effectiveness of two surgical options for obstructive BPH management : transurethral resection of the prostate with photo selective vaporization of the prostate using the high powered 532nm laser.

The primary objectives were to determine the efficacy and safety of the GITS formulation of Doxazosin in Taiwanese patients with prostate enlargement.

A dose-finding, multi-centre, double-blind, randomised, parallel, placebo-controlled trial to investigate efficacy and safety of degarelix in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

A new drug for benign prostatic hyperplasia is compared to placebo for to determine if it is safe and effective. The study lasts approximately 20 weeks.
