About this study

Official title: EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF COMBINATION THERAPY WITH β3-ADRENOCEPTOR AGONIST (MIRABEGRON) AND α-ADRENOCEPTOR ANTAGONIST (TAMSULOSIN) FOR TREATMENT OF OVERACTIVE BLADDER IN MALE PATIENTS WITH BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of combination therapy involving β3-adrenoceptor agonist, mirabegron, and α-blockers for the treatment of OAB symptoms in male patients with BPH.

Read the detailed description

Mirabegron (MyrbetriqTM, Astellas Pharma Inc.) is a drug that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency and urgency incontinence. Multiple studies have shown that this drug also has the potential to improve patient tolerability, compliance and subsequent patient quality of life without inducing unfavourable adverse events commonly associated with antimuscarinic medications. These adverse events include, but are not limited to, dry mouth, constipation, confusion, and acute urinary retention (AUR).

Studies now have shown that mirabegron may also provide an effective treatment option for OAB in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) without inducing the above mentioned adverse events. This study will look at the combination therapy of Mirabegron and Tamsulosin, versus Tamsulosin and placebo alone to prove that this treatment (Mirabegron and Tamsulosin) is effective for those men who suffer from both overactive bladder along with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Mirabegron and Tamsulosin in people with Overactive Bladder and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2021. 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 Canada. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Taehyoung Lee, MD, PGY4 (905-522-1155 ext. 36188, taehyoung.lee@medportal.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) (time frame: Treatment period: 4 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Mar 2021.
