Filter by:The purpose of this trial is to determine the efficacy and safety of an investigational drug in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Ageing and the availability of medication has led to an increase of elderly male patients being treated for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), or voiding problems ("prostate problems"). However, guidelines are vague as to which patients should and which should not be treated, and how. Although several treatment modalities have proven efficacy in selected populations, it is unclear how effective these treatments are in daily practice. This study investigates the hypothesis that a treatment protocol in which clear indications are formulated for all treatment modalities is more effective, as compared to current usual primary care, in reducing both symptoms as related to the quality of voiding in elderly males.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerance of transurethral photodynamic therapy (PDT) with QLT0074. Secondary objectives are: 1. To determine if transurethral PDT with QLT0074 has a therapeutic effect on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), evaluated by the American Urological Association Symptom Index (AUA SI), urinary flow rate (Qmax), and post-void residual volume (PVR). 2. To determine the extent of systemic exposure to QLT0074 following transurethral intraprostatic injection. 3. To select up to two transurethral PDT drug-light regimens for further clinical development.
The primary objective of this randomized clinical trial is to determine the efficacy and safety of three treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): transurethral needle ablation (TUNA), transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT), and medical therapy with alfuzosin and finasteride.
The purpose of this study is to test whether an extract of the saw palmetto plant is effective for relieving symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
Multi-center, prospective randomized dosing and safety research study. A maximum of 150 men will be enrolled in the study. Qualifying patients will receive one of three possible doses of the study drug. Symptoms will be evaluated before treatment, and then 1-week, 1-month, 3-months, and 6-months following treatment.
