Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dutasteride at reducing relapse rates of Acute Urinary Retention (AUR), including reduction in surgical intervention for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in patients who receive a 6 month treatment of dutasteride (0.5mg once daily) following a single episode of AUR followed by successful Trial Without Catheter compared with placebo.

Inclusion Criteria

* Able to read, write and understand instructions related to study procedures and able to give written informed consent
* Able to swallow and retain oral medication
* Had a single, spontaneous episode of AUR related to BPH with a drained volume of between 500 and 1500ml
* Had a successful TWOC (defined as successful if the patient returns to satisfactory voiding within the first 24 hours after catheter removal without re-catheterisation) following 2 - 3 days treatment with alpha blocker (preferably alfuzosin 10mg OD) pre TWOC followed by up to seven days treatment with alpha blocker (preferably alfuzosin 10mg OD) post TWOC.
* Able to be randomised within 7 days of successful TWOC

Exclusion Criteria

* Prostate volume (PV) of less than 30cc and greater than 80cc measured via Trans Rectal Ultrasound (TRUS) either at time of hospitalisation or as part of the screening / randomisation visit
* Previous episode of AUR prior to the current episode
* AUR not related to BPH i.e. postoperative retention following major abdominal / pelvis surgery
* Previous prostate or urethral surgery
* Previous positive prostate biopsy
* Any cause other than BPH that may result in urinary symptoms or changes in flow rates.
* Any unstable co-existing medical condition
* Previous 5-ARI use
* Previous alpha blocker treatment other than the study mandated 2 - 3 days pre and up to 7 days post TWOC period with alpha blocker (preferably alfuzosin 10mg OD)
* Use of prohibited meds (e.g. 5ARI's, anabolic steroids including testosterone, drugs with antiandrogenic properties)
* Liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP) at time of hospitalisation / screening visit greater than 2 x ULN or bilirubin at time of hospitalisation / screening visit greater than 1.5 x ULN.
* Serum creatinine at time of hospitalisation / screening visit greater than 1.5 x ULN
* Treatment with any other investigational product within 30 days prior to the first dose of study medication
* History or current evidence of alcohol or drug abuse within the last 12 months
* Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) greater than 20ng/ml
