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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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 change in sexual function from baseline in sexually active men with at least moderate BPH (international prostate symptom score - IPSS = or > 12) who are treated with DUODART, compared to men treated with placebo at 1 year. Change in sexual function will be assessed by change in total score from the full men’s sexual health questionnaire (MSHQ) which has domains for erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory function and libido.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    Changes in sexual function from baseline using the full Men’s Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ).
    Assess percentage of subjects reaching various thresholds of change in total MSHQ at 12 months.
    Changes in erectile dysfunction (ED), ejaculatory dysfunction (EjD), and libido domains (of the MSHQ).
    Assess changes in BPH symptoms, quality of life, perception of treatment benefit/satisfaction with treatment and relationship of these changes to sexual function.
    Assess changes in MSHQ in subpopulations of men with good BPH symptomatic response that is subjects with IPSS improvement of ≥2 and ≥3 points from baseline and, separately to assess changes in MSHQ scores at 12 months in subpopulations of men with ≥25% improvement from baseline.
    EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: assess the persistence of sexual adverse events by following up those men with sexual adverse events who withdraw from the study or men with sexual adverse events present at the last visit of the treatment phase.

    French subjects: In France, a subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if either affiliated to or a beneficiary of a social security category.
    Specific information regarding warnings, precautions, contraindications, adverse events, and other pertinent information on the GSK investigational product or other study treatment that may impact subject eligibility is provided in the SmPC for DUODART.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Total serum PSA >10.0 ng/mL at Visit 1 (screening).
    2. History or evidence of prostate cancer. Subjects with suspicious ultrasound or DRE who have had a negative biopsy within the preceding 6 months and stable PSA are eligible for the study.

    i. Any prior use of a 5α-reductase inhibitor (finasteride or dutasteride),
    ii. Anti-cholinergics (e.g. oxybutynin, propantheline, tolerodine, solifenacin or darifenacin) within 1 month prior to visit 2 (baseline)
    iii. An alpha-adrenoreceptor blocker (i.e. indoramin, prazosin, terazosin, tamsulosin, alfuzosin and doxazosin) within 1 month prior to visit 2 (baseline)
    iv. Use of any drugs with anti-androgenic properties (e.g. spironolactone, flutamide, bicalutamide, cimetidine, ketoconazole, progestational agents) within the 6 months prior to visit 1 (screening).
    v. Use of any drugs noted for propensity to cause gynaecomastia, or which could affect prostate volume, within 6 months prior to Visit 1 (screening).
    vi. Use of any investigational or marketed study drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the drug in question, (whichever is longer), preceding visit 2 (baseline).
    4. Current use (at the baseline visit or within the prior 1month) of: PDE-5 inhibitors, Anabolic steroids, Drugs known or thought to have an interaction with tamsulosin, e.g. cimetidine and warfarin.
    5. Use of phytotherapy for BPH within 2 weeks prior to Visit 1 (screening) and/or predicted to need phytotherapy during the study.
    6. History of a known (immediate or delayed) hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncratic reaction to drugs chemically related to the study medication or excipients that, in the opinion of the Investigator or GSK, contraindicate their participation.
    7. Previous prostatic surgery (including TURP, balloon dilatation, thermotherapy and stent replacement) or other invasive or minimally invasive procedures to treat BPH.
    8. History of flexible/rigid cystoscopy or other instrumentation of the urethra within 7 days prior to Visit 1 (screening). Catheterisation (<10F) is acceptable with no time restriction.
