Condition(s) targeted: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Intervention: Dutasteride (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Terminated

Summary

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.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicentre Phase IV Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Dutasteride 0.5mg Administered Orally Daily for 24 Weeks to Reduce The Risk of Acute Urinary Retention Relapse Following Successful Trial Without Catheter.

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double-Blind, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Acute Urinary Retention (AUR) relapse rate during the 24 week treatment period

Secondary outcome: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) related surgical intervention rates during study IPSS score during study Relationship between length of time of catheter in situ and Intravesical prostatic protrusion measurements on relapse rates
