About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Silodosin vs. Tamsulosin and Placebo in the Treatment of the Signs and Symptoms of BPH. Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial With an Optional Long-Term, Open-Label Extension Phase.

A new drug for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia is compared with placebo and tamsulosin (a drug belonging to the same therapeutic class) for to determine if it is safe and effective (the first phase of the study lasts approximately 18 weeks) and then is used for another 9 months to determine its long-term safety.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-centre, double-blind, placebo and active controlled, parallel 12 week treatment trial in men with signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, followed by a 9 month open-label phase. The following procedures are used: physical exams, electrocardiograms, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, the International Prostate Symptom Score, maximum urine flow rate, adverse events, concomitant medications, quality of life and compliance. 93 centres in 11 European countries (Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Ukraine, UK) will be involved

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Silodosin and Tamsulosin in people with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by RECORDATI GROUP at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 19 Feb 2009. 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 United Kingdom. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 in baseline total score on the International Prostate Symptom Score (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00359905, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Feb 2009.
