Filter by:In patients with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), is treatment using photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP 120 Watt) as effective and cost-effective as the standard treatment of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)? A higher-power (120W) laser system has recently been approved by Health Canada for the treatment of an enlarged prostate. This system, which uses laser energy to vaporize the prostate tissue, will be compared with the current standard treatment of transurethral resection of the prostate. This newer generation laser may offer more efficient removal of prostate tissue with fewer complications and may result in clinical and economic benefits compared to the standard treatment. However, there have been no studies comparing the 120W laser with the standard transurethral resection of the prostate. This study will provide currently unavailable information for clinicians and decision makers.
Phase III, Randomized, double-blind, parallel placebo-controlled study. Two arms: MCS (30mg/day) vs. placebo. Subproject MCS-2: alpha-blocker naïve subjects Subproject MCS-3: subjects responding poorly to alpha-blocker
It is widely-accepted that serum testosterone level and BMI (body mass index) representative of the degree of obesity has negative correlation. Considering the fact that obesity is being mentioned as a risk factor for development of prostate cancer as well as other various life-threatening diseases (example: cardiovascular problems), the effect of BPH treatment agents on BMI is a subject that should certainly be elucidated. Meanwhile, to our knowledge, no prospective study has so far been performed on such issue in Asian population. Prior to generating hypothesis of the effect of 5 alpha reductase inhibitor on BMI, the real effect of 5 alpha reductase inhibitor on BMI change in Korean BPH patients has to be observed in real clinical practice. This study will test the effects of one-year medication of 5 alpha reductase inhibitor on BMI among Korean men with BPH.
The purpose of this ex-vivo study is to evaluate the insertion procedure for the ProstaPlant implant in human prostates and the support that it supplies to the prostate.
To gain clinical experience with the GreenLight HPS System, a system designed to vaporize and coagulate tissue in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia to reduce lower urinary tract symptoms.
This is a double-blind randomized phase II trial to determine whether two different doses of BoNT/A injection into the prostate gland demonstrate sufficient improvement in the management of lower urinary symptoms due to BPH to warrant more extensive research. Subjects will receive either a 100U or 300U dose. Participation will last 1 year.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of lonidamine (50mg, 150mg) compared to placebo in subjects with symptomatic BPH.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the study drug Dutasteride taken before and after Laser TURP(Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), can provide effective and safe, long term improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dutasteride at reducing relapse rates of Acute Urinary Retention (AUR), including reduction in surgical intervention for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in patients who receive a 6 month treatment of dutasteride (0.5mg once daily) following a single episode of AUR followed by successful Trial Without Catheter compared with placebo.
The primary objective is to assess the dose-response relationship of SL77.0499 10 (alfuzosin hydrochloride) 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, and placebo once daily during a 12-week oral administration period for the efficacy in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to BPH. Secondary objectives are to assess the efficacy of each dose of alfuzosin as compared with placebo and to assess the safety of each dose of alfuzosin.
