Percent Change From Baseline in the Prostate Volume at Month 6

Percent change from baseline was calculated as the prostate volume at Month 6 minus the volume at baseline, divided by the prostate volume at baseline and multiplied by 100. Prostate volume was measured by transrectal ultrasound.

Time frame: Baseline and Month 6

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all participants who were randomized to study treatment (after the 4-week placebo run-in) and received at least one dose of study treatment. Some participants were missing Month 6 measurements.
