Filter by:The purpose of this study is to gain information on the safety, efficacy, and quality of life in subjects who have had the GreenLight XPS procedure.
The aim of this study is to support the efficacy of Permixon 160 mg b.i.d. in treating subjects with symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), compared to placebo, using Tamsulosine LP 0.4 mg as a reference treatment.
The objective of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of silodosin, which is a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia with high selectivity to α1A-receptor, on patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia accompanied by nocturia.
The purpose of this study is to compare safety and efficacy of Green Light PVP (Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate) compared to TUR-P in high risk patients
The purpose of this study is to determine whether prostatic arterial embolization (PAE) compared is an effective and safe treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia in patients with severe lower urinary tract symptoms not adequately controlled by medical therapy with alpha-blockers, as assessed by the the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) after 6 months. Patients will be randomized on a 1:1 ratio to PAE or to a sham procedure and evaluated at 1, 3 and 6 months. Patients randomized to the sham procedure will be offered the possibility of performing PAE after 6 months. All patients may participate on an optional 6-months extension study.
Recent literature indicated that postoperative storage symptoms after Photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) or holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) were often reported and generally more common than after transurethral prostatectomy (TURP). However, almost all literature focused on postoperative urgency or dysuria immediately after PVP or HoLEP. Thus, there has been a scarcity of data on serial changes of storage symptoms in the postoperative period after PVP or HoLEP and data on predicting factors that influence improvement in storage symptoms postoperatively. The aim of this study was to compare serial changes of postoperative storage symptoms between PVP and HoLEP, and to identify the predictors that influence improvement of storage symptoms postoperatively.
The purpose of this study is to compare safety and efficacy of Green Light PVP (Photoselective Vaporisation of the Prostate) compared to open prostatectomy when treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
This is a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, parallel group study in Asian subjects. The aim of the study is to investigate whether combination therapy with dutasteride and tamsulosin is more effective than tamsulosin monotherapy for the improvement of symptoms and health outcomes in an at risk population of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) clinical progression including older men (>=50 years), with moderate-severe symptoms of BPH, enlarged prostates (>=30 cubicentimeter [cc]) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) >= 1.5 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Each subject who met the eligibility criteria at screening will enter a four-week single-blind, placebo run-in period following which each subject will be randomised into a 2 year double-blind treatment phase. The total study duration for each subject will be up to 110 weeks.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent entity, affecting over 50% of men older than 60 years. The clinical picture of the disease includes lower urinary tract symptoms such as interrupted and weak urinary stream, nocturia, urgency and leaking and even sexual dysfunction in some individuals. Medical therapy is usually the first-line treatment. However, the efficacy of drugs like alpha-blockers is limited, and as disease progresses more invasive treatment options have to be taken into consideration. In cases with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) is the standard treatment. TURP, however, is limited to prostates smaller than 60-80ml and the procedure is associated with a complication rate. The cumulative short-term morbidity rate is around 11% and the necessity for surgical revision is as high as 6%. Bleeding requiring transfusions and transurethral resection syndrome represent potentially serious threats to elderly and frail patients. Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) has been suggested as a minimal invasive alternative procedure, which can be performed in an outpatient setting with rapid recovery and low morbidity. The investigators hypothesize that PAE is non-inferior in the treatment of symptomatic BPH compared to conventional and established TUR-P.
This study aims to explore the feasibility of moxibustion as a supplementary intervention and to assess the sample size for verifying the effectiveness and safety of integrative treatment involving moxibustion compared with conventional treatment for patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) accompanying moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
