About this study

Official title: An Open Controlled Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Ingaron (Interferon-gamma Human Recombinant) in the Treatment of Chronic Prostatitis

The primary purposes of the study are to evaluate the effectiveness of Ingaron in the complex therapy of chronic prostatitis, to assess the safety of using Ingaron in patients with chronic prostatitis.

Read the detailed description

Literature data and the results of preclinical studies of interferon-gamma, as well as the features of the immunopathogenesis of chronic prostatitis, show the expediency of studying the use of Ingaron in this pathology.

The study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of Ingaron in combination with standard therapy with its subcutaneous administration and standard therapy in patients with chronic prostatitis.

The study was planned to include 50 male patients aged at least 18 years with a confirmed diagnosis of chronic prostatitis.

In the course of the study, Ingaron was administered at a dose of 500,000 IU once a day, every other day. In addition to Ingaron, patients received antibiotic therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, alpha-blockers (if necessary). Magnetic laser therapy and prostate massage were also provided.

The patients were divided into 2 groups: main and control.

What is being measured

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Interferon gamma human recombinant (IFN-G) in people with Chronic Prostatitis, run by SPP Pharmaclon Ltd..

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 8 inclusion and 13 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 18 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Dynamics of the total score and improvement in the quality of life on the scale IPSS. (time frame: Day 13). The study lists 18 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 May 2022.
