Filter by:In this study, the investigators designed a randomized and double-blind prospective trial to evaluate the efficiency and safety of the investigators new approach—transurethral ventral wall of urethra-preserving enucleation of prostate in comparison with TURP for the hyperplasia weighing more than 45 g.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of tamsulosin 0.4mg (Harnal® D. 0.2mg, 2T) in patients with LUTS/BPH refractory to tamsulosin 0.2mg (Harnal® D 0.2mg, 1T).
This post-marketing study is being conducted to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Prolieve Thermodilatation® System (Prolieve®) in the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). A secondary objective is to assess the safety and effectiveness of re-treatment with Prolieve® and determine the percent of subjects electing to be re-treated with Prolieve® rather than alternate therapy. This study will follow subjects treated with Prolieve® at 2 weeks, 3 months, and on a yearly basis for 5 years after treatment. Both efficacy and safety information will be collected at all follow-up visits. Procedural and safety information will be collected during treatment to further substantiate the findings of the pivotal trial.
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
This study is for individuals electing to have GreenLight Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP) to treat symptoms from an enlarged prostate gland. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the medication dutasteride as compared to placebo (an inactive substance) for improving surgical and long-term outcomes of PVP. Dutasteride is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of symptoms from an enlarged prostate gland. The use of dutasteride to improve the outcomes of PVP is investigational. The study will last for approximately 15 months and will involve 6 visits.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the standard surgical intervention for obstructive benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in all but the largest of glands, which are typically treated with open simple prostatectomy. Recently, new generation lasers (holmium and potassium titanyl phosphate [KTP]) have been utilized for BPH treatment. Long-term follow-up of laser prostatectomy outcomes must be documented to fully characterize the degree of voiding improvement achievable by these new techniques, the durability of these outcomes, and the safety profiles of these procedures.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the mechanisms involved in the apoptosis induced by a treatment of finasteride on benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Five sets of patients who need a surgical procedure because of low tract urinary symptoms are randomly attributed to one of five sets of treatment: 0, 7, 14, 21 or 28 days of finasteride treatment before the day of the procedure. Prostate histological fragments are conditioned for molecular and histologic studies.
