About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Parallel Group Trial of Ditropan XL (Oxybutynin Chloride) Extended Release Tablets or Placebo in Combination With FLOMAX (Tamsulosin Hydrochloride) for the Treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of oxybutynin extended release tablets 10 mg plus tamsulosin HCl 0.4 mg in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms as measured by change of the total International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) from baseline to Week 12 or the Final Visit.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this double-blind (neither the patient nor the physician knows whether drug or placebo is being taken, or at what dosage), randomized (patients are assigned different treatments based on chance), parallel group trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of oxybutynin extended release tablets 10 mg per day for 12 weeks in conjunction with an alpha-blocker for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The hypothesis of the study is that oxybutynin extended release tablets 10 mg plus tamsulosin 0.4 mg will be more effective than tamsulosin 0.4 mg plus placebo in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms as measured by change of the total International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) from baseline to Week 12 or the Final Visit. Safety assessments include Peak Flow Rate (PFR) and Post-Void Residual (PVR) volume, adverse events, vital signs and physical exams. Patients will receive oxybutynin extended release 10 mg plus tamsulosin 0.4 mg or placebo plus tamsulosin 0.4 mg every day for 12 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing oxybutynin chloride extended release in people with Urination Disorders, run by McNeil Consumer & Specialty Pharmaceuticals, a Division of McNeil-PPC, Inc..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of the total International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) from baseline to Week 12 or the Final Visit.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00338624, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 May 2011.
