Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, Overactive Bladder, Photoselective Vaporization Prostatectomy, Transurethral Resection of Prostate

Keywords

Muscarine antagonist, Prostatectomy, Uroflowmetry

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate superiority of the solifenacin succinate (treatment) over the placebo (control) based on the change from the baseline in the mean number of urgency episodes per 24 hours after 2 weeks.

Detailed description

The BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia) patients who have OAB (overactive bladder) after TURP (trans-urethral resection of prostate) or PVP (photoselective vaporization of prostate) will participate in this study. The subjects will be randomized 1:1 to the solifenacin succinate group or to the placebo treatment group. The subjects shall take investigational product each night before sleeping from for four weeks and complete voiding diary. At Week-2 and Week-4 of the treatment, the subjects will be asked to complete the following activities: physical exam, vital signs test, IPSS, OABSS, post-void residual (PVR) test, and uroflowmetry, and will be asked to answer the BSW, (Benefit, Satisfaction and Willingness to Continue Questions) questionnaire.

Exclusion criteria

* Screening * Patients who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer or bladder cancer and who have a present or resolved malignant disease in any pelvic organ * Patients who have neurological diseases that affect micturition and can cause neurogenic bladder disease such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, severe cerebral arteriosclerosis, dementia, stroke, or myelitis * Patients who have had serious adverse events or are hypersensitive to anticholinergics * Patients who have a severe gastrointestinal obstruction disease such as toxin megacolon, ulcerative colitis, intestinal atonia, paralytic ileus, and gastric retention * Patients who have been diagnosed with severe myasthenia * Patients who have been diagnosed with narrow-angle glaucoma * Patients who have serious hepatic impairment (child class C) * Patients who are being treated with a CYP3A4 inhibitor (e.g., Ketoconazole) * Patients who have severe renal impairment or who are undergoing hemodialysis * Patients who have diabetic neuropathy * Patients who have a significant urinogenital disease such as UTI, interstitial cystitis, urothelial tumor, bladder stone, or urinary retention * Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption * Patients who have another medical or psychiatric condition that will make them inappropriate for participate in this study in the opinion of the investigators * Patients who have participated in other clinical trials within 30 days before the screening visit * Randomization * Patients who have been diagnosed with clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction by investigators * Patients whose PVR is greater than 100 mL * Patients who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer or bladder cancer and who have a present or resolved malignant disease in any pelvic organ * Patients who have neurological diseases that affect micturition and can cause neurogenic bladder disease such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, severe cerebral arteriosclerosis, dementia, stroke, or myelitis * Patients who have had serious adverse events or are hypersensitive to anticholinergics * Patients who have a severe gastrointestinal obstruction disease such as toxin megacolon, ulcerative colitis, intestinal atonia, paralytic ileus, and gastric retention * Patients who have been diagnosed with severe myasthenia * Patients who have been diagnosed with narrow-angle glaucoma * Patients who have serious hepatic impairment (child class C) * Patients who are being treated with a CYP3A4 inhibitor (e.g., Ketoconazole) * Patients who have severe renal impairment or who are undergoing hemodialysis * Patients who experienced severe side effects after their operation * Patients who have diabetic neuropathy * Patients who have a significant urinogenital disease such as UTI, interstitial cystitis, urothelial tumor, bladder stone, or urinary retention * Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption * Patients who have another medical or psychiatric condition that will make them inappropriate for participate in this study in the opinion of the investigators * Patients who have participated in other clinical trials within 30 days before the screening visit
