Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Capsules

    Patients take tamsulosin hydrochloride capsules (1 tablet each time, once daily)

    Drug: Tamsulosin

  • Experimental
    Silodosin Capsules

    Patients take Silodosin Capsules ( Qianweitai®, 4mg/capsule, 1 capsule/time, bid, after breakfast and dinner)

    Drug: Silodosin Capsules

Interventions

  • Silodosin is a α1A-adrenergic receptor antagonist which can relax the smooth muscle of bladder and prostate, relieves the dynamic obstruction of bladder outlet, and improves the lower urinary tract symptoms caused by BPH. The instruction of Silodosin Capsule (Qianweitai®) is 4mg/capsule,1 capsule/time, bid, after breakfast and dinner.

    Also known as: Qianweitai

  • Tamsulosin is α1A-adrenergic receptor which has used in treatment of BPH for few years. The instruction of Tamsulosin Capsule is 1 tablet at a time, 1 time a day.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS)

    Changes of IPSS scores at the 12th week of treatment compared with baseline scores. The scores of the scale ranged from 0 to 35. The higher the score, the more severe the symptoms are.

    Time frame: 12 week

Secondary outcomes

  1. International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS) total score

    Changes of IPSS scores at 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks after treatment compared with baseline scores. The scores of the scale ranged from 0 to 35. The higher the score, the more severe the symptoms are.

    Time frame: 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks

  2. IPSS Stimulus score

    IPSS Stimulation Score at 12 weeks (Sum of Question 2, 4, 7) compared with baseline. The scores of the scale ranged from 0 to 15. The higher the score, the more severe the symptoms are.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  3. IPSS obstruction score

    Changes of IPSS obstruction score (sum of question 1, 3, 5, 6) at 12 weeks after treatment compared with baseline. The scores of the scale ranged from 0 to 20. The higher the score, the more severe the symptoms are.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  4. IPSS total score severity

    Distribution of IPSS total score severity grades at 12 weeks. The scores of the scale were divided into three grades: mild (0-7), moderate (8-19) and severe (20-35).

    Time frame: 12 week

  5. Quality of life (QoL) score

    Changes in scores at 4, 8 and 12 weeks of treatment compared with baseline.The scores of the scale ranged from 0 to 6. The higher the score, the more severe the symptoms are.

    Time frame: 4, 8 and 12 weeks

  6. Maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax)

    The change of Qmax at 12 weeks of treatment compared with baseline.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  7. Residual urine volume (PVR)

    Changes of PVR at 12 weeks of treatment compared with baseline.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  8. Patient response rate

    Patient response rate is defined as the proportion of patients whose IPSS total score decreased by ≥ 25% compared with baseline value after treatment.

    Time frame: 12 weeks
