Filter by:This study is designed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a second transrectal intraprostatic injection of NX-1207 given to subjects with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) who previously received an injection of NX-1207 in an earlier U.S. clinical trial of NX-1207.
To evaluate whether Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) might be an effective alternative treatment option for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in comparison to current gold standard surgical treatment- Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP).
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) describes a common medical condition in men over 45 associated with voiding (obstructive) and storage (irritative) lower urinary tract symptoms and is in part related to prostate enlargement and obstruction. The standard medical therapy for this condition includes 5-alpha reductase inhibitors -5ARI (eg dutasteride) or alpha blocker therapy (eg tamsulosin), while the most effective medical therapy for BPH is the combination of these two medications. Approximately 10 to 20% of patients diagnosed with BPH also have either a diagnosis of or symptoms of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) with typical genito-urinary pain and discomfort. This particular subset of patients of BPH patients with prostatitis symptoms pose a therapeutic dilemma. CP/CPPS (organ specific phenotype) is the third most prevalent prostate disease after prostate cancer and BPH. CP/CPPS is very prevalent (3-9% of men) and represents a significant percentage of urology outpatients (3-8% of male outpatient visits)resulting in a major impact on quality of life of patients and economic costs to society. Clinical phenotyping allows for prediction of the patients with CP/CPPS most likely to respond to dutasteride and tamsulosin (age, Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms [LUTS] and prostate related phenotypes [BPH]). It can be estimated that up to 30% of men currently diagnosed with CP/CPPS will include men with co-existing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) We propose to determine the efficacy of JALYN (dutasteride-tamsulosin combination) in the amelioration of prostatitis symptoms in men diagnosed with CP/CPPS who have the following clinical phenotype; age = 45 years, Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS), enlarged prostate and Organ (prostate) specific symptoms (eg. BPH and CP/CPPS).
To compare the relative bioavailability and pharmacokinetic characteristics of a newly single pill combination of finasteride and tamsulosin with a conventional combination of finasteride and tamsulosin in healthy subjects with a single dose, randomized, open-label, 2-sequence -2period crossover study.
This study will identify significant clinical parameters and individual risk factors related to certain prostate disease (BPH, prostatitis and prostate cancer). With the identified important correlations, a locally generated bias free nomogram will be constructed for predicting prostate biopsy outcome among Asian men with indications for prostate biopsy. While this study will evaluate the accuracy and predictive value of this novel prostate disease nomogram.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate improvement of symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as assessed by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) for prostatic artery embolization (PAE) using Embosphere Microspheres compared to conventional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
Persistent detrusor overactivity (DO) after transurethral prostatectomy results in symptomatic failure in more than one third of the patients. Storage symptoms are major complaints in the early postoperative period after Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP). Levels of the urinary nerve growth factor (NGF), produced by bladder urothelium and smooth muscle, are increased in the patients with overactive bladder (OAB), and decreased after the OAB symptoms were improved. Also, urinary NGF levels are increased in patients with benign prostatic obstruction (BPO), but the changes of the NGF levels after relief of the BPO by the medical or surgical treatment have not been fully investigated. If the elevated urinary NGF levels are reduced after successful surgical treatment of BPO, measurement of urinary NGF could be a useful objective tool to assess the therapeutic outcomes of the operation. The aims of this study are to measure the urinary NGF levels in patients with BPO and to compare the results between the patients with detrusor overactivity (DO) and without detrusor overactivity (Non-DO), average 2 weeks before Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) procedure. After HoLEP, urinary NGF levels are rechecked at the periods of postoperative 3 months and 6 months, and compare changes between the two groups.
This is an European double-blind, placebo controlled parallel group comparison of DUODART (fixed dose combination of dutasteride 0.5mg and tamsulosin 0.4mg, one capsule daily) and placebo. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To assess the change in sexual function from baseline to 1 year in sexually active men with at least moderate BPH who are treated with DUODART, compared to men treated with placebo .
The HistoSonics' Histotripsy BPH Device, the Vortx Rx, is a portable ultrasound therapy device. The purpose of this study is to assess and monitor the performance of the Vortx Rx for initial safety and efficacy for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
This retrospective cohort study will assess the association of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treatment (5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5ARI) and alpha-blocker medications) with the occurrence of prostate cancer related mortality. This study will also assess a number of secondary endpoints including prostate cancer mortality or metastatic prostate cancer, and all cause mortality.
