About this study

Official title: Effectiveness and Safety of Silodosin in the Treatment of LUTS in Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: a European Phase IV Clinical Study. The Silodosin in Real-life Evaluation Study

The purpose of this study is to confirm in a larger population in Europe the effectiveness and safety observed with silodosin in previous clinical trials.

Read the detailed description

The objective of the study is to confirm in a larger and less selected population ("real life conditions") the positive risk-benefit balance observed with silodosin in double-blind, randomised clinical trials.

The following aspects will be evaluated:

  • the effects on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), by means of the International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) questionnaire
  • the effect on the most frequent and bothersome symptoms, by means of International Continence Society (ICS)-male questionnaire
  • the effects on Quality of Life (QoL) due to urinary symptoms
  • the safety profile
  • the adherence to therapy
  • the patient satisfaction with treatment The effectiveness and safety of the drug will be investigated also in different subgroups of subjects according to age, severity of the disease, concomitant disease and medications.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Silodosin in people with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by RECORDATI GROUP at 1 site in Italy.

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 16 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 29 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of silodosin on LUTS in terms of IPSS response rate (decrease from baseline ≥ 25% in the IPSS total score) (time frame: 6 months o treatment). 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 NCT01757769, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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 29 Apr 2014.
