Brief Summary

This is a randomized, double blind, multicentre, active controlled, comparative, parallel group, phase III clinical study in patient with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic

hyperplasia (BPH) in Indian population.



Laboratory assessments (Haematology and Biochemistry) shall be performed on screening and end of study visit.



Patients will be provided with subject diary to record details about study drug administration, rescue medication, and adverse events. Patients will be required to bring completed diary at each visit. At randomization/baseline visit, subjects shall be randomly (Double blind) assigned in 1:1:1 fashion to one of the three treatment groups for 12 weeks. Those subjects who do not meet

the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be considered as screen failures. The randomized subjects will be provided with study medication and asked to follow up for further visits till 12 weeks post randomization.



Patients will be instructed to administer one tablet of test products or comparator product orally once daily, in the morning after breakfast for 12 weeks of treatment duration.



After informed consent process, completion of all screening assessments and once all the inclusion/exclusion criteria are met, the eligible subjects shall be enrolled into the study.

• Visit 1: Screening Visit (Days -7 to Day -1)

• Visit 2: Randomization/Baseline Visit (Day 0)

• Visit 3: Follow-up Visit (Week 4/Day 28 ± 2 days)

• Visit 4: Follow-up Visit (Week 8/Day 56 ± 2 days)
