What is being measured

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

  1. Changes from baseline in total scores of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)

    Measured: baseline, 4-week, 8-week, 12 week

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Changes from baseline in IPSS subscore

    IPSS subscores include storage subscores, voiding subscores and nocturia

    Measured: baseline, 4-week, 8-week, 12 week

  2. Changes from baseline in total scores of Quality of life (QOL) index (IPSS-QOL)

    Measured: baseline, 4-week, 8-week, 12 week

  3. Changes from baseline in Uroflowmetry parameters

    Uroflowmetry parameters include Qmax, Qave, and voided volume

    Measured: baseline, 4-week, 8-week, 12 week

  4. Changes from baseline in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    VAS is a vertical mark on a 10-cm line that ran from 'Not at all' to 'Yes, completely'. Patient marks on the line the point that they feel represents their perception of treatment satisfaction; 'Not at all' = 0 to 'Yes, completely' =10

    Measured: baseline, 4-week, 8-week, 12 week

  5. Safety assessed by the adverse events, physical examination, vital signs and post void residual volume

    Measured: Up to 12 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tamsulosin OCAS in people with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) Associated With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), run by Astellas Pharma Inc at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 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 18 Nov 2015. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Changes from baseline in total scores of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) (time frame: baseline, 4-week, 8-week, 12 week). 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 18 Nov 2015.
