Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To assess the effect of repeat oral once daily dosing of 0.5mg dutasteride compared to placebo on the reduction of AUR relapse after successful TWOC during a 24 week treatment period.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To assess the effect of repeat oral once daily dosing of 0.5mg dutasteride compared to placebo on surgical intervention rates for BPH symptoms e.g. due to increased symptoms, secondary AUR.
    To assess the effect of repeat oral once daily dosing of 0.5mg dutasteride compared to placebo on International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) score.
    To assess the effect of repeat oral once daily dosing of 0.5mg dutasteride compared to placebo on safety and tolerability.
    To carry out exploratory assessment of reasons behind AUR relapse (e.g. length of catheterisation and Intravesical Prostatic Protrusion (IPP)).
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Able to read, write and understand instructions related to study procedures and able to give written informed consent.
    Males aged ≥ 50 years.
    Able to swallow and retain oral medication.
    Had a single, spontaneous episode of AUR related to BPH with a drained volume of between 500 and 1500ml.
    Had a successful TWOC (defined as successful if the patient returns to satisfactory voiding within the first 24 hours after catheter removal without re-catheterisation) following 2 - 3 days treatment with alpha blocker (preferably alfuzosin (Xatral) 10mg OD) pre TWOC followed by up to seven days treatment with alpha blocker (preferably alfuzosin (Xatral) 10mg OD) post TWOC.
    Able to be randomised within 7 days of successful TWOC.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    Prostate volume (PV) of less than 30cc and greater than 80cc measured via Trans Rectal Ultrasound (TRUS) either at time of hospitalisation or as part of the screening / randomisation visit.
    Previous episode of AUR prior to the current episode.
    AUR not related to BPH i.e. postoperative retention following major abdominal / pelvis surgery.
    Previous prostate or urethral surgery.
    Previous positive prostate biopsy.
    Any cause other than BPH that may result in urinary symptoms or changes in flow rates.
    Any unstable co-existing medical condition.
    Previous 5-ARI use.
    Previous alpha blocker treatment other than the study mandated 2 - 3 days pre and up to 7 days post TWOC period with alpha blocker (preferably alfuzosin (Xatral) 10mg OD).
    Use of prohibited meds (e.g. 5ARI’s, anabolic steroids including testosterone, drugs with antiandrogenic properties) as listed in Section 7.13.
    Liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP) at time of hospitalisation / screening visit greater than 2 x ULN or bilirubin at time of hospitalisation / screening visit greater than 1.5 x ULN.
