Brief Summary

Open-label, 6 month-treatment with the IP in all subjects. - Sample size: A total of 90 subjects will be enrolled so that among them at least 57 will complete the 6-month treatment period and evaluable for analysis.

-Primary objective: To assess the safety of 0.5 mg dutasteride/0.4 mg tamsulosin combination therapy for six month in BPH patients by monitoring category, frequency and severity of adverse events encountered during the treatment period.

-Secondary objective: To assess the efficacy of 0.5 mg dutasteride/0.4 mg tamsulosin combination therapy with regard to symptom improvement in BPH patients by monitoring and analyzing of changes in IPSS and Qmax after 6 months of treatment.

Detailed Description

Visit 0 or Screening Visit (M0) - D0 + 2): Following tasks will be performed: ICF collection, subject code assignment, physical examination (vital signs, demographic data, medical history); checking of inclusion and exclusion criteria: prostate symptom score according to IPSS, laboratory tests (hematology, blood chemistry, electrolytes, total PSA level, free-to-total PSA ratio, Qmax, urinalysis, transrectal prostate ultrasonography (TRUS), 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG), scoring of Sexual Function Questionnaire (SFQ), concomitant medication assessment, IP dispensing. • Visit 1 (Month 1 (M1) - D30 ± 3): Following items will be recorded: treatment compliance, vital signs, blood chemistry, ECG, adverse events (AEs), concomitant medication; dispensing of new IP doses and collecting of dispensed IP at the last visit. • Visit 2 (Month 2 (M2) - D60 ± 3): Following items will be recorded: treatment compliance, AEs, concomitant medication; dispensing of new IP doses and collecting of dispensed IP at the last visit. • Visit 3 (Month 3 (M3) - D90 ± 3): Following items will be recorded: vital signs, laboratory tests (hematology, blood chemistry, electrolytes, Qmax, urinalysis, 12-lead ECG, total PSA level), concomitant medication, SFQ score, AE assessment, collecting of dispensed IP at the last visit and dispensing of new IP doses. • Visit 4 (Month 4.5 (M4) - D135 ± 3): Following items will be recorded: treatment compliance, vital signs, AEs, concomitant medication; dispensing of new IP doses and collecting of dispensed IP at the last visit. Visit 5 (Month 6 (M6)- D180 ± 3): Following items will be recorded: treatment compliance, vital signs, prostate symptom score according to IPSS, laboratory tests (hematology, blood chemistry, electrolytes, Qmax, urinalysis, 12-lead ECG, total PSA level, free-to-total PSA ratio, TRUS; concomitant medication, SFQ score, AE assessment, collecting of the previous dispensed IPs . Follow-up Phone Call (Month 7 (M7)- D210 ± 3): To record any possible AE that may occur after discontinuation of study treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

Male, age ≥ 50 years. Clinical diagnosis of benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) . International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥ 12 Prostate volume ≥30 ml (transrectal ultrasonography). Total serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) ≥1.5 ng/mL and ≤10 ng/mL. Free-to-total PSA ratio > 20% Maximum flow rate (Qmax) >5 mL/sec and ≤15 mL/sec and post-void residual volume of < 150 mL Willing and able to give written informed consent and comply with study procedures throughout study Able to swallow and retain oral medication Able to express personal thought and feeling Ability to read and comprehend information on the Sexual Function Inventory

Exclusion Criteria

History or evidence of prostate cancer (e.g. positive biopsy or ultrasound, suspicious digital rectal examination).

Previous prostatic surgery (TURP, balloon dilatation, thermotherapy and stent replacement) or other invasive procedures to treat BPH.

History of flexible/rigid cystoscopy or other instrumentation of the urethra within past 7 days History of acute urine retention (AUR) within past 3 months. Any causes other than BPH result in urinary symptoms or changes in flow rate (e.g. neurogenic bladder, bladder neck contracture, urethral stricture, bladder malignancy, acute or chronic prostatitis, acute or chronic urinary tract infections).

History of breast cancer or clinical finding suggestive of malignancy. Use of any 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor (e.g. Proscar®, Propecia®), drugs with antiandrogenic properties (e.g. spironolactone, flutamide, bicalutamide, cimetidine, ketoconazole, progestational agents), drugs which induce gynecomastia or drugs which affect prostate volume, within past 6 months and throughout the study (other than as study medication). Do not use dutasteride within past 12 months. Do not use metronidazole for a long time.

Concurrent use of anabolic steroids (eg. Durabolin®). Use of phytotherapy (eg: Tadenan®, Permixon®, etc) for BPH within 2 weeks of screening visit and/or predicted to need phytotherapy during the study.

Use of any alpha-adrenoreceptor blockers (i.e. indoramin, prazosin, terazosin, tamsulosin, alfuzosin and doxazosin) within 2 weeks of screening visit and/or predicted to need any alpha blockers other than tamsulosin during the study.

Use of any alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists (e.g. pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine, ephedrine) or anticholinergics (e.g. oxybutynin, propantheline) or cholinergics (e.g. bethanecol chloride) within 48 hours prior to all uroflowmetry assessments.

Hypersensitivity to any alpha-/beta-adrenoreceptor blocker or 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, or other chemically-related drugs.

Concurrent use of drugs known or thought to have an interaction with tamsulosin and dutasteride.

History of hepatic impairment or abnormal liver function tests at screening (defined ALT, AST, and/or alkaline phosphatase >2 times the upper limit of normal, or total bilirubin >1.5 times the upper limit of normal).

History of renal insufficiency, or serum creatinine >1.5 times the upper limit of normal at screening.

History of malignancies other than basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin within the past 5 years. Subjects with a prior malignancy who have had no evidence of disease for at least 5 years prior to screening are eligible.
