About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Solifenacin in the Treatment of OAB Symptoms in Patients Who Have Successfully Undergone GreenLight Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP)for the Treatment of Clinically Significant Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH)

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that solifenacin post-operatively improves irritative symptoms in men whose obstructive symptoms have been relieved with the GreenLight laser outpatient procedure.

Read the detailed description

Obstruction of the urinary tract secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia can result in both obstructive and irritative urinary symptoms. In the last few years, photovaporization of the prostate has emerged as a popular teatment for this problem. This outpatient procedure uses a GeenLight KTP laser manufactured by Laserscope to vaporize the obstructing aspects of the prostatic urethral tissue to create a central cavity. After obstruction is relieved , it is not uncommon for a patient to be left with the irritative symptoms of frequency, urgency and nocturia, either from the procedure itself in the short-term or due to changes that develop in the bladder due to the long-standing obstruction. Clinical experience with this procedure indicates that after the mechanical obstruction of the prostate is relieved, medical therapy with an antimuscarinic agent should be able to alleviate these irritative urinary symptoms without the risk of urinary retention. By adding solifenacin in the early post operative period ( 2-12 weeks)for the subset of patients still experiencing irritative symptoms, further improvements in bladder symptoms my be achieved.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Solifenacin PO in people with Urinary Frequency and Urinary Urgency, run by Seattle Urology Research Center 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 3 inclusion and 17 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 22 Jan 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 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. 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 Angel J Felipa, Coordinator (206-243-3701, surc@comcast.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in number of micturitions per 24 hours utilizing a 3 day micturition diary (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 Jan 2009.
