Key requirements

  • Ages 50 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The number of study subjects was calculated based on safety end-point which was variable change in SBP measurement before and after the administration of Silodosin. In previous studies, the standard deviation in before and after administration of Silodosin was 12.81. Therefore, this study assumed the standard deviation in before and after administration to be 12.81. When the significance level was 0.05, the confidence interval was 1.41 and standard deviation of SBP measurement before and after the administration of Silodocsin was 12.81, the standard sample size will be 318 people and target number of study subject will be 400 as the expected drop rate is 20%.

About this study

Official title: Observational Study to Evaluate Effect of Thrupas® Capsule on Cardiovascular System in Patients With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Suggestive of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

To evaluate effect on cardiovascular system(blood pressure) when Thrupas® capsule is administered every day for 12 weeks in patients with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms suggestive of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Read the detailed description

BPH and hypertension are chronic senile diseases that increase in prevalence with age. It is reported that 25% of men over 60 years old suffer from both BPH and hypertension. Though these two diseases differ in nature, there is a hypothesis advanced from recent studies that for both diseases, increase in sympathetic tone plays an important role in pathophysiology.

As a medical treatment of BPH, α-blockers are widely selected in clinical studies as a first line treatment in patients with LUTS, for its non-invasiveness and superior clinical efficacy [1, 5]. Such α-blockers increases urine flow and decreases residual urine by controlling excitement of the sympathetic nervous system distributed around smooth muscle of prostate and bladder neck. Through this, α-blockers improve conditions of clinical symptoms of patients suffering from LUTS due to BPH, and decrease need for invasive surgery related to BPH, and also have medical action to decrease morbidity rate of secondary complications of BPH such as acute retention of urine, deterioration of renal function, bladder stone and urinary tract infection.

However, in the case of patients who are on hypertension medication, when considering concomitant administration with α-blockers, adverse events such as orthostatic hypotension and dizziness due to drop in blood pressure is most concerned. In this regard, silodosin, as an alpha 1A adrenoceptor antagonist, has been proven have low occurrence of adverse events related to cardiovascular system and have little effect on blood pressure compared to other α-blockers.

Thus, in this study, we aim to see the effect on cardiovascular system(blood pressure) Thrupas® capsule is administered every day for 12 weeks in patients with LUTS suggestive of BPH.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by JW Pharmaceutical at 4 sites in South Korea.

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 10 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 8 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in South Korea. 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.

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 in blood pressure (systolic, diastolic) before and after administration (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Mar 2018.
