About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blinded, Double-dummy, Parallel Group, 48-week, Phase III Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of DKF-313 in Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, double-dummy, parallel group, 48-week study to evaluated the efficacy and safety of DKF-313 (dutasteride and tadalafil) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Read the detailed description

This study is conducted to access whether DKF-313 once daily for 48 weeks is superior to dutasteride 0.5 mg once daily and tadalafil 5 mg once daily each in improving BPH-LUTS as measured by changes in IPSS total scores.

Being tested
DKF-313, Dutasteride, Tadalafil, DKF-313 placebo, Dutasteride placebo

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DKF-313, Dutasteride and Tadalafil in people with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by Dongkook Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 1 site in South Korea.

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 7 inclusion and 22 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 21 Sep 2023. 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 South Korea. 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 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 Total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) from baseline to Week 48 (time frame: Weeks 0 and 48). 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 21 Sep 2023.
