A-botulinic Toxin for Symptomatic Benign Prostate Hypertrophy

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Prostatic Hyperplasia
Interventions
Drug: BONT-A intra-prostatic injection
Drug: Optimized medical BPH treatment
Registration Number
NCT01275521
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Bordeaux
Brief Summary

BPH is very common in elderly men, it is a stromal as well as epithelial invasion of the prostatic gland. Due to an imbalance between growth and apoptosis cellular mechanisms that are not fully elucidated. It is the same for symptomatology and urodynamic obstruction without clear identification of the part which is due to static phenomena (volume increase) and dynamic reports (α 1-receptor action). That explains the multiplicity of treatments and the difficulty of therapeutic indications between monitoring, medical treatment, and surgical operation. Experimental studies of BONT-A intra prostatic injection on animal and human models, have shown efficacy in BPH cell apoptosis, decrease in cell growth and decline in the number of adrenergic α1 receptors.

Many studies in humans show therapeutic efficacy leading to a possible use of BONT-A as mini invasive treatment of symptomatic BPH, as an alternative to medical or surgical treatment.

PROTOX study proposes to evaluate tolerance and effectiveness of the intra-prostatique BONT-A injection in the treatment of symptomatic BPH.
