A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Effect of Tadalafil Once Daily for 8 Weeks on Prostatic Blood Flow and Perfusion Parameters in Men With Signs and Symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Abstract
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effect of tadalafil 5 milligrams (mg) daily for 8 weeks compared to placebo on prostatic blood perfusion in men with signs and symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), measured by resistive index (RI) in the prostate transition zone.
Conditions: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
Primary outcome: Change From Baseline to 8-Week Endpoint in Arterial Resistive Index (RI) in the Prostate Transition Zone.
Enrollment: 97 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 97 participants or records.
