About this study

Official title: Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Active-Referenced, Parallel-Group Comparative Study in Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of ASP4901 with placebo in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The safety and tolerability of ASP4901 will also be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, active-referenced, double-blind study. After obtaining the written consent, patients meeting the eligibility criteria at the preliminary enrollment will receive oral administration of placebo in a single-blinded manner (single-blind placebo run-in period). Then, patients meeting the eligibility criteria at the main enrollment will receive drug or placebo (double-blind treatment period) for 4 weeks. Furthermore, patients will be followed up for 1 week to confirm the safety of the study drugs after the treatment period (safety follow-up period).

Being tested
ASP4901, Tamsulosin, Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in total IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score)

    Measured: baseline and at the final evaluation (up to 5 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change from baseline in each symptom score of IPSS

    Measured: baseline and at the final evaluation (up to 5 weeks)

  2. Change from baseline in IPSS QOL (quality of life) score

    Measured: baseline and at the final evaluation (up to 5 weeks)

  3. Proportion of IPSS responder

    "IPSS responder" is defined as 25% improvement in IPSS

    Measured: baseline and at the final evaluation (up to 5 weeks)

  4. Plasma concentration of ASP4901

    only for ASP4901 group

    Measured: up to 5 weeks

  5. Safety assessed by the incidence of adverse events, vital signs, labo-tests and 12-lead ECGs

    Measured: up to 5 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ASP4901 and Tamsulosin in people with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, run by Astellas Pharma Inc at 2 sites in Japan.

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 6 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Japan. 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?

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 from baseline in total IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) (time frame: baseline and at the final evaluation (up to 5 weeks)). 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 6 Nov 2024.
