Exploratory Study of L.S.E.S.r. (LipidoSterolic Extract of Serenoa Repens)(PERMIXON� 160 mg Hard Capsule) Versus Tamsulosine LP Activity on Inflammation Biomarkers in Urinary Symptoms Related to BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)

Condition(s) targeted: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Intervention: Permixon® 160 mg (Drug); Tamsulosine Arrow LP (Drug); Placebo matching Permixon® 160 mg (Drug); Placebo matching Tamsulosine Arrow LP (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Pierre Fabre Medicament

Summary

Inflammation is reported as one of the most recent hypotheses to explain BPH. Recent published works pointed out that urine and serum markers could be used for detection of prostatic inflammation. The aim of the study is to assess the activity on inflammation biomarkers (serum and urine inflammation markers) of Permixon® 160 mg hard capsule and Tamsulosine Arrow LP in the treatment of urinary symptoms related to BPH. The potential links between serum and urinary markers of inflammation and BPH clinical symptoms at baseline and on treatment will be explored.

Clinical Details

Official title: Exploratory Study of L.S.E.S.r. (PERMIXON® 160 mg Hard Capsule) Versus Tamsulosine LP Activity on Inflammation Biomarkers in the Treatment of Urinary Symptoms Related to BPH; a Multinational, Multicentric, Randomised, Double Blind Parallel-group Prospective Study

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Pharmacodynamics Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Basic Science

Primary outcome: Change from baseline of Inflammation Biomarkers

Secondary outcome:

Change from baseline of urinary symptoms

Change from baseline of quality of life

Change from baseline of sexual activity

Change from baseline of maximum urinary flow rate

Change from baseline of prostate volume

Change from baseline of post-void residual urine volume (PVR)

Number of adverse events
