NCT04418635

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to uses Prosta-OK® Neo that contains herb extracts including lycopene, phellinus linteus, pomegranate, pumpkin seed, selenium and zinc that have been demonstrated with functions of inhibiting 5-alpha reductase, antioxidant, anti-inflammation and regulating the synthesis of nitric oxide to explore whether Prosta-OK® can help reduce symptoms and elevate the quality of life in patients with mild to severe non-neurogenic male lower urinary tract symptoms receiving Tamsulosin therapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • change in International Prostate Symptom Score from baseline on the sum of 1 to 7 questions

    compare the change in International Prostate Symptom Score from baseline between the experiment group and placebo group on the sum of 1 to 7 questions that are related to voiding symptoms. Scores of 0 to 7, 8 to 19, and 20 to 35 signify mild, moderate, and severe symptoms, respectively.

    day 1 (before receiving therapy) and day 85

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • change in International Prostate Symptom Score on questions 1, 3, and 5 that are related to voiding symptoms, questions 2, 4, and 7 that are related to storage symptoms, and question 8 that is related to the quality of life from baseline

    day 1 (before receiving therapy) and day 85

  • change in International Prostate Symptom Score from baseline by visit on the sum of 1 to 7 questions that are related to voiding symptoms and question 8 that is related to the quality of life

    day 1 (before receiving therapy), day 15, day 29, and day 85

  • change in interleukin 6, interleukin 8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin 1 beta levels in expressed prostatic secretion from baseline by visit

    day 1 (before receiving therapy), day 15, day 29, and day 85

  • change in maximum urinary flow rate from baseline.

    day 1 (before receiving therapy) and day 85

  • change in amount of post voiding residual urine from baseline.

    day 1 (before receiving therapy) and day 85

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Tamsulosin and Prosta-OK® Neo

EXPERIMENTAL

Tamsulosin 0.2mg once daily and Prosta-OK® Neo 707mg 2 tablets twice daily for 85 days

Dietary Supplement: Prosta-OK® Neo or Prosta-OK® Neo-matched placebo

Tamsulosin and Prosta-OK® Neo-matched placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Tamsulosin 0.2mg once daily and Prosta-OK® Neo-matched placebo 707mg 2 tablets twice daily for 85 days

Dietary Supplement: Prosta-OK® Neo or Prosta-OK® Neo-matched placebo

Interventions

the patient planed to receive Tamsulosin 0.2mg once daily is randomized to the experiment group or placebo group. After randomization, the patient received Tamsulosin therapy with Prosta-OK® Neo or Prosta-OK® Neo-matched placebo 707mg 2 tablets twice daily for 85 days.
