Effects of Isoflavone in Patients With Watchful Waiting Benign Prostate Hyperplasia

Benign Prostate Hyperplasia Clinical Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

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.
