Filter by:Emerging from a differential proteomic study of sample pairs of prostate cancer and benign tissue, annexin A3 (ANXA3) was chosen as a potential novel biomarker for the early and non-invasive diagnosis of prostate cancer. We wanted to show or investigate, that: - ANXA3 can be detected in urine after standard digital rectal examination. - ANXA3 has better specificities than tPSA, in particular in the grey zone of PSA - ANXA3 can help avoid unnecessary biopsies - ANXA3 can in the long run replace PSA as a marker
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the function of the bladder and urethra during urinary storage or voiding in men with signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia treated with either placebo or tadalafil.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, multinational, 12-week study to compare the efficacy, dose response, and safety of tadalafil once a day versus placebo in men with signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, including lower urinary tract symptoms.
To determine whether pomegranate tablets have a therapeutic effect on Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with two treatment arms (Tamsulosin OCAS 0.4 mg & placebo). The study comprises a 2-week placebo run-in followed by a 12-week treatment period.
Dutasteride is used in the treatment of benign prostate enlargement (BPH).It inhibits conversion of testosterone (T) into the more potent dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to stop prostate (and possibly prostate cancer) growth. DHT regulates the expression of certain genes in the prostate. The pharmacodynamics of DHT reduction in the prostate were never investigated until now, as every measurement would require prostate tissue retrieval, which is medically and ethically unacceptable. A recently developed test is able to quantitatively measure gene expression in prostate-borne cells, in urine sediments after prostate massage. By measuring this gene expression in patients using dutasteride, it has become possible to assess the pharmacodynamics of gene expression reduction, which is representative for the pharmacodynamics of DHT reduction. Repeated prostate tissue sampling has therefore become unnecessary. This newly gained knowledge will lead to a better understanding of the action of dutasteride and will possibly help improve treatment of symptomatic BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) and PrCa (Prostate Cancer)in the future.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the GreenLight™ model 120 delivering higher average power to allow for more flexibility in the working distance of the delivery device with the same power density to tissue as that of the current GreenLight model. In addition this study will examine the Laserscope GDD (guided delivery device) that has been designed exclusively for use with the GreenLight™ model 120.
A new drug for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia is compared with placebo and tamsulosin (a drug belonging to the same therapeutic class) for to determine if it is safe and effective (the first phase of the study lasts approximately 18 weeks) and then is used for another 9 months to determine its long-term safety.
Primary: To assess the safety of SL77.0499-10 10mg administered once daily for one year in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms related to BPH. Secondary: - To provide the information on the efficacy of SL77.0499-10 10mg administered once daily for one year in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms related to BPH. - To document the plasma concentration of SL77.0499-10 after repeated administration of SL77.0499-10 10mg administered once daily in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms related to BPH.
The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and effectiveness of different doses of botulinum toxin Type A in treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia.
