ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00939120
  Purpose

This is an investigator-initiated study of safety, efficacy and tolerability of dutasteride given for 18 months, including a 1-year double-blind randomized co-administration with either tolterodine ER or placebo in men suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) including urgency and frequency, with or without urgency urinary incontinence (i.e., overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms).


Condition Intervention Phase
Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
Drug: dutasteride 0.5 mg, used with tolterodine ER 4mg or placebo
Drug: dutasteride
Phase IV

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Placebo Control, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Study of Safety and Efficacy of Dutasteride in Combination With Tolterodine ER or Placebo in Men With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) Including Urgency and Frequency

Further study details as provided by Siami, Paul F., M.D.:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To evaluate the safety of dutasteride 0.5 mg in combination with either tolterodine ER 4mg or placebo for the treatment of men with symptoms of LUTS. [ Time Frame: 19 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To evaluatethe risk/incidence of acute urinary retention (AUR) in men taking dutasteride 0.5 mg in combination with either tolterodine ER 4mg or placebo for the treatment of men with LUTS including OAB symptoms. [ Time Frame: 19 Months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: July 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: April 2011
Estimated Primary Completion Date: April 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
dutasteride 0.5 mg: Active Comparator
open-label dutasteride 0.5 mg once daily for 6 months
Drug: dutasteride
open-label dutasteride 0.5 mg once daily for 6 months
dutasteride 0.5 mg, tolterodine ER 4 mg, placebo: Experimental
dutasteride 0.5 mg in combination with either tolterodine ER 4mg or placebo
Drug: dutasteride 0.5 mg, used with tolterodine ER 4mg or placebo

dutasteride 0.5 mg orally once daily for six months, followed by randomization in a 1:1 ratio into two parallel groups of

  1. dutasteride 0.5 mg once daily with tolterodine ER 4 mg orally daily for one year or
  2. dutasteride 0.5 mg once daily with tolterodine ER placebo orally daily for one year

Detailed Description:

Men who are treated with an alpha blocker (AB) or 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (5-ARI) for benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) often have symptoms including urinary frequency and urgency. ABs and 5-ARIs may improve the obstructive voiding symptoms but not necessarily the storage symptoms.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of dutasteride 0.5 mg once daily for 6 months in an open label fashion. Those patients who continue to report storage urinary symptoms, will be randomized to receive dutasteride 0.5 mg once daily for an additional one year together with double-blind tolterodine ER 4 mg or matched tolterodine ER placebo once daily.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   50 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Male
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

This subject population will consist of males ≥ 50 years of age who have lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) for a minimum of 3 months

Inclusion criteria at screening:

  1. Subjects who understand and speak English and are able to comply with the protocol, complete the diaries, and other study tools
  2. Subject has provided written informed consent and HIPAA authorization
  3. Ambulatory male subjects ≥ 50 years of age
  4. Able to use the toilet without difficulty
  5. History of LUTS due to BPE, as diagnosed by history as well as DRE, for ≥ 3 months suitable for medical therapy with 5-ARI in combination with antimuscarinic drugs
  6. Prostate volume (PV) ≥ 30 cc as measured by TRUS
  7. IPSS ≥12
  8. Post Void Residual Volume < 150 mL at baseline
  9. Uroflowmetry-Qmax > 5 mL/sec and ≤ 15 mL/sec
  10. PSA ≥ 1.5 ng/ml and in normal age-adjusted range. For those subjects with an elevated age- adjusted PSA, it is the responsibility of the investigator to take standard of care measures to assure reasonable absence of prostate cancer
  11. Have an average of ≥ 8 micuturitions per 24 hrs
  12. Have an average of 2 episodes of urgency per 24 hrs (defined as those with the Urinary Sensation Scale rating of 3 or more)

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Concurrent use of 5-ARI therapy within the past 3 months
  2. Concurrent use of alpha blockers within the past 2 weeks
  3. Concurrent use of antimuscarinics within the past 4 weeks
  4. Concurrent use of PDE-5 inhibitors on a daily basis
  5. Evidence of chronic inflammation such as interstitial cystitis and bladder stones.
  6. Evidence of untreated urethral stricture disease
  7. Uncontrolled narrow angle glaucoma
  8. Increased PVR defined as PVR > 150 mL
  9. Uroflowmetry-Qmax ≤ 5 mL/sec
  10. Acute urinary tract infection (UTI). These subjects may be treated and re-screened
  11. Acute urinary retention (AUR) requiring catheter within the last 3 months
  12. Previous or planned transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
  13. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) such as transurethral microwave treatment (TUMT), transurethral needle ablation (TUNA), laser, or other minimally invasive procedures within 12 months. Those patients who in the opinion of the investigator did not respond adequately to MIS and fulfill the inclusion criteria are eligible to participate
  14. A known diagnosis of prostate cancer.
  15. A known diagnosis of bladder cancer within 5 years of screening. Those patients with history of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who have not had a recurrence in the past 5 years are eligible to screen for this study and must maintain continued adequate bladder cancer screening at the discretion of the Investigator
  16. Renal or hepatic impairment defined as 2.5 x upper limit of normal. Some isolated abnormalities would be left at the discretion of the investigator with always keeping in mind to not pose a hazard to the patient.
  17. PSA > 10 ng/mL (if the PSA is greater than 4 ng/mL and less than or equal to 10 ng/mL, subjects may be included at the discretion of the Investigator if the PSA has been stable and the patient has had a prostate biopsy showing no evidence of prostate cancer)
  18. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to dutasteride or tolterodine ER .
  19. Participation in a clinical trial involving an investigational drug, within 30 days prior to enrollment.
  20. History of diagnosed gastrointestinal obstruction disease.
  21. Myocardial infarction within the past 8 weeks.
  22. Known or suspected drug and/or alcohol abuse.
  23. Any clinical condition, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would not allow safe completion of the study.
