Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Treat Patients Who Have Signs and Symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) With Tadalafil Daily (NCT NCT00827242)

NCT ID: NCT00827242

Last Updated: 2010-11-17

Results Overview

The IPSS Total Score is obtained by combining the scores of the responses to Question 1 through Question 7. Each question is scored from 0-5 for a total IPSS range of 0-35 points; higher numerical scores from the IPSS questionnaire represent greater severity of symptoms. Least squares (LS) mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model includes terms for treatment group, region, centered-baseline covariate, centered-baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 12 weeks

Population: The analysis population was defined as all subjects who were randomized, started study medication, and had non-missing data at baseline and at least one post-baseline visit. The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) imputation technique was employed.

The IPSS Total Score is obtained by combining the scores of the responses to Question 1 through Question 7. Each question is scored from 0-5 for a total IPSS range of 0-35 points; higher numerical scores from the IPSS questionnaire represent greater severity of symptoms. Least squares (LS) mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model includes terms for treatment group, region, centered-baseline covariate, centered-baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

Timeframe: Baseline, 4 weeks

Population: The analysis population includes all subjects who were randomized, started study medication, and had non-missing data at baseline and Week 4.

The BPH Impact Index (BII) is a 4-item, self-administered questionnaire evaluating impact of urinary problems on overall health and activity. Total scores range from 0 to 13; higher scores represent increased perceived impact of benign prostatic hyperplasia-lower urinary tract symptoms on overall health. LS mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an ANCOVA. The model includes terms for treatment group, region, centered-baseline covariate, centered-baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

IPSS irritative subscore is the sum of Questions 2, 4 and 7 of the IPSS questionnaire. Scores range from 0 (few irritative symptoms) to 5 (frequent irritative symptoms), thus the 3 questions of the irritative subscore range from 0 to 15. LS mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an ANCOVA. The model includes terms for treatment group, region, centered-baseline covariate, centered-baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

Qmax was defined as the peak urine flow rate (measured in milliliters per second \[mL/sec\] using standard calibrated flowmeter). At each visit, a uroflowmetry assessment was considered valid and the data were included in the statistical analyses only if the prevoid total bladder volume (assessed by ultrasound) was \>=150 to \<=550 milliliters (mL) and the voided volume (Vcomp) was \>=125 mL.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 12 weeks

Population: The analysis population was defined as all randomized subjects who started study medication, and had non-missing data at baseline and at endpoint (considered the last non-missing post-baseline value).

Qmean was defined as the mean urine flow rate (measured in mL/sec using standard calibrated flowmeter). At each visit, a uroflowmetry assessment was considered valid and the data were included in the statistical analyses only if the prevoid total bladder volume (assessed by ultrasound) was \>=150 to \<=550 mL and the Vcomp was \>=125 mL.

Tadalafil
n=127 Participants
Following screening, a 4-week washout period (if needed) and a 4-week placebo lead-in period, subjects were randomized to receive tadalafil 5 mg orally once daily over a 12-week period.
Placebo
n=135 Participants
Following screening, a 4-week washout period (if needed) and a 4-week placebo lead-in period, subjects were randomized to receive placebo orally once daily over a 12-week period.
