What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in the Total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at Week 12

    IPSS is a disease-specific outcome measure based on the American Urological Association Symptom Index. The questionnaire consisted of seven items. The patient evaluated their urinary symptoms (incomplete emptying, frequency, hesitancy, urgency, weak stream, straining, and nocturia) during the previous 4 weeks. The total symptom score ranged from 0 (no symptoms) to 35 (most severe symptoms). A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change From Baseline in the Total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)

    IPSS is a disease-specific outcome measure based on the American Urological Association Symptom Index. The questionnaire consisted of seven items. The patient evaluated their urinary symptoms (incomplete emptying, frequency, hesitancy, urgency, weak stream, straining, and nocturia) during the previous 4 weeks. The total symptom score ranged from 0 (no symptoms) to 35 (most severe symptoms). A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 6, Week 24

  2. Change From Baseline in Peak Urine Flow Rate

    Urinary flow was determined by uroflowmetry measured in milliliters/second (mL/sec). An increase from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 6, 12 and 24

  3. Duration of Effect

    Duration of effect was calculated from the time of the first follow-up visit with a ≥ 4-point reduction from Baseline in IPSS to the next visit when the IPSS change from Baseline was < 4-points.

    Measured: 24 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing botulinum toxin Type A and Normal saline in people with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by Allergan at 8 sites in 8 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 3 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States, Canada, Czechia, France, Germany and 3 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Apr 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 From Baseline in the Total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at Week 12 (time frame: Baseline, Week 12). 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 NCT01107392, 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 3 May 2019.
