NCT01661621

Brief Summary

This study is a prospective randomized, open label, controlled, double arm, post-marketing study to compare the treatment efficacy of first-line antimuscarinics and α-blockers monotherapy for men with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) (International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS-T) ≥8) and IPSS voiding-to-storage subscore ratio (IPSS-V/S) ≤1.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The Global Response Assessment (GRA) After the Treatment Day

    Efficacy Using global response assessment (GRA) to compare the efficacy in Group 1 and Group 2 from baseline to 1month. The global response assessment on a 6-point scale ranging from 1 "No problems at all" to 6 "Many severe problems". Changes of the global response assessment (GRA) improved or reduction by 1 points. Change = Baseline minus Month 1 value Safety: Systemic adverse events such as difficult urination, dry mouth, dry eye, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness or general weakness

    1 month after initial treatment

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) Questionnaires After the Treatment Day

    Baseline and 1 month

  • The Maximum Flow Rate (Qmax) After the Treatment Day

    Baseline and 1 month

  • The Voided Volume After the Treatment Day

    Baseline and 1 month

  • The Postvoid Residual Volume (PVR) After the Treatment Day

    Baseline and 1 month

  • The IPSS Subscore (IPSS Voiding) Questionnaires After the Treatment Day

    Baseline and 1 month

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
