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

To analyze the change in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level from baseline.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a non-interventional, observational and multicenter study. When subjects will be allowed the dutasteride and α-blocker orally once daily for two years by investigator's prescription. They will be invited to this observational study. All eligible subjects can be allowed the prior alpha blockers therapy. Details of acute urinary retention (AUR) and BPH-related prostatic surgery episodes will be recorded at every visit. Subjects will return to the clinic for assessment every 3 months until week 96. The efficacy and safety of combining the 5α-reductase inhibitor (5ARI), dutasteride, and the α-blocker will be assessed.
