About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of Ozarelix, in Patients With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) Due to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of ozarelix compared to placebo in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men as assessed by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at Week 14.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Participants who meet the entry IPSS inclusion criteria at Week 0 will be randomized and enroll in the double-blind treatment period. Participants will be randomized to one of three treatment arms and will receive two 6-month courses of study drug administered on Days 0 and 14 of each 6-month course. Treatment arms include: ozarelix 30mg + 15mg, ozarelix 15mg + 15mg or placebo + placebo. Safety and efficacy assessments will be performed at defined intervals throughout the study. At Week 52 all participants on study will be eligible to receive ozarelix for two additional courses in the open-label treatment period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) Score at Week 14

    IPSS is a validated self-administered index for grading benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)-related signs and symptoms. It consists of a set of seven questions. A total score of 1-7 indicates mild disease, 8-19 moderate disease and 20-35 severe disease.

    Measured: Week 14

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change From Baseline IPSS (Including Sub-scores) at Week 52

    The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) consists of 7 questions concerning urinary symptoms and 1 question concerning quality of life (QoL) with total score and subscores (voiding, storage and QoL). 1) Voiding- The subscale voiding score is the sum of the responses to 4 voiding symptoms questions (incomplete emptying, intermittency, weak stream, and straining). 2) Storage- The subscale storage score is the sum of the responses to 3 storage symptoms questions (frequency, urgency, and nocturia). Voiding and Storage: the lowest and highest possible scores range from 0 to 15 (mildly symptomatic to severely symptomatic). Voiding and Storage: each question is assigned points from 0 to 5 indicating increasing severity of the particular symptom. And 3) QoL assessment was a single question asking the participant how he would feel about tolerating his current level of symptoms for the rest of his life. The lowest and highest possible score ranges from 0 to 6 (very pleased to terrible).

    Measured: Week 52

  2. Change From Baseline Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index (BPHII) Score at Week 14 and Week 52

    BPH Impact Index (BII) is used to assess the impact of BPH on various aspects of health. This 4 question self administered index uses a scoring range from 0 (best) to 13 (worst).

    Measured: Weeks 14 and 52

  3. Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) Global Assessment Question (LUTS-GAQ) Response at Week 52

    The self administered LUTS GAQ is a "yes" or "no" response to a question asking whether overall improvement in LUTS will be observed during the treatment period.

    Measured: Week 52

  4. Change From Baseline Maximum Urine Flow (Qmax) at Week 14 and Week 52

    Qmax was measured by free flow uroflowmetry. Qmax is defined as the peak urine flow rate (measured in milliliter (mL)/second using a standard calibrated flowmeter). For a Qmax to be considered valid, the voided volume had to be at least 125 mL. The uroflowmeter is to be calibrated weekly.

    Measured: Week 14 and Week 52

  5. Change From Baseline International Index of Erectile Function-15 (IIEF-EF) Score at Week 14 and Week 52

    IIEF-EF is defined as the sum of the scores for Questions 1-5 and 15 of the IIEF questionnaire. This recall instrument is self-administered by the participant. Individual questions are graded from 1 to 5 with a maximum total score of 30. Lower IIEFEF scores represent diminished erectile function. Men with a score of ≥ 26 are interpreted as having normal erectile function.

    Measured: Week 14 and Week 52

  6. Change From Baseline International Prostate Symptom Score - Quality of Life (IPSS-QOL) at Week 14 and Week 52

    IPSS QOL is a disease-specific quality of life question, referred to as IPSS Question 8. Participants with an IPSS QOL of <3 at screening will be excluded from this study. The rating is as follows: 0=delighted, 1=pleased, 2=mostly satisfied, 3=mixed, 4=mostly dissatisfied, 5=unhappy, 6=terrible.

    Measured: Week 14 and Week 52

  7. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Measured: Up to 104 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ozarelix in people with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS), run by Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc at 1 site in United States.

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 14 inclusion and 21 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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 From Baseline International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) Score at Week 14 (time frame: Week 14). 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 22 Nov 2021.
