Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (NCT NCT01152190)

NCT ID: NCT01152190

Last Updated: 2013-05-20

Results Overview

Arterial RI was a measure of vascular resistance using Doppler ultrasound. RI was the ratio of (peak systolic velocity - end diastolic velocity)/peak systolic velocity, and increased as resistance to blood flow increased. The least squares (LS) mean was estimated from a mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) that included fixed effects for treatment, region, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction, baseline as a covariate, a random effect of participant within treatment, and an unstructured covariance matrix.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 8

Population: Randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication, had non-missing data (arterial RI in the prostate transition zone) at baseline, and a post-baseline visit.

Arterial RI was a measure of vascular resistance using Doppler ultrasound. RI was the ratio of (peak systolic velocity - end diastolic velocity)/peak systolic velocity, and increased as resistance to blood flow increased. The least squares (LS) mean was estimated from a mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) that included fixed effects for treatment, region, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction, baseline as a covariate, a random effect of participant within treatment, and an unstructured covariance matrix.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8

Population: Randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication.

CPI quantified blood flow in a pre-specified region of interest by using color Doppler imaging. CPI was the mean color pixel intensity in the region of interest and scores could range from 0 to 160. An increase in CPI reflected an increase in blood flow. The least squares (LS) mean was estimated from a mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) that included fixed effects for treatment, region, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction, baseline as a covariate, a random effect of participant within treatment, and an unstructured covariance matrix.
