Filter by:This is a pilot study examining biological endpoints in men with localized prostate cancer who are scheduled to have radical prostatectomies and men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia/Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (BPH/LUTS) following botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injection. Patients will serve as their own controls by receiving BoNT-A injections into the right peripheral and transition zones and sham saline injections into the left peripheral and transition zones.
This is a Phase 4, prospective, open-label, randomized study of Greenlight XPS Laser versus BiVAP Saline Vaporization of the prostate in men with symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The study consists of a screening phase, treatment, followed by follow-up visits at 1 week, 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.
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
Urgency, frequency and incomplete emptying are the key symptoms of lower urinary tract dysfunction, including bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis, and overactive bladder syndrome. Lower urinary tract dysfunction is associated with cellular stress, leading to changes in gene expression and consequent organ remodeling. MicroRNAs are small regulatory molecules, affecting protein synthesis. They are quickly winning recognition as potential therapeutic agents. The investigators will perform a comparative study of mRNAs changed in lower urinary tract dysfunction and address the role of differentially expressed miRNAs in regulation of the genes, important for bladder function. The experimental approach, combining the analysis of human biopsy material with the in vitro cell-based models, will allow the investigators to elucidate the effects of miRNAs on the expression of receptors, contractile proteins and tight junction proteins. Once the disease-induced miRNAs have been characterised and their target genes validated, it will be possible to influence their expression levels thus counter-acting their effects. The investigators' work addresses fundamental mechanisms of signal transduction in urothelium and smooth muscle during cellular stress caused by inflammation or bladder outlet obstruction, and its regulation in the diseased state. The investigators' findings will further the knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of lower urinary tract dysfunction and have implications for diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, they have relevance for other clinical conditions, where miRNAs are implicated.
This study aims to determine the relative bioavailability of tamsulosin hydrochloride in a fixed dose combination 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 or capsules. Two fixed dose combination capsules will be tested; one will contain tamsulosin hydrochloride pellets with a 15% enteric coating, and the other tamsulosin hydrochloride pellets with a 10% enteric coat. In addition, two formulations of tamsulosin hydrochloride will be tested in the co-administration with dutasteride 0.5 mg; a 0.2 mg oral disintegrating tablet and a 0.2 mg hard shell capsule. This will be an open-label, randomized, single dose, four-period crossover in healthy male subjects of North East Asian ancestry. Subjects will receive single oral doses in four treatment periods, each 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. The study will enrol approximately 30 healthy male subjects to ensure that 24 complete the study.
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, multinational study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tadalafil once-a-day dosing for 12 weeks in Asian men with signs and symptoms of benign 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.
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.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of MediTate Temporary Implantable Nitinol Device (TIND) used to alleviate symptoms of Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO) secondary to Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH).The TIND is inserted in the bladder neck and prostatic urethra under local anesthesia for few days and taken out some 5 days later in the doctors office.
