Brief summary

The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of silodosin 4 and 8 mg once daily with placebo in the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe abacterial chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome during a 12 week treatment period. The secondary objective is to compare the safety of silodosin 4 and 8 mg once daily with placebo.

Outcome results

Primary

National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) Total Score.

Change from baseline In NIH-CPSI at Week 12. Three separate domain scores are calculated as pain, urinary symptoms, and quality of life impact. NIH-CPSI total score uses a 0 to 43 scale; 0 best, 43 worse symptoms.

Time frame: 12 weeks

Population: The number of participants for analysis is determined by Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF).
