Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Understanding
Benign prostatic hyperplasia: Overview
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) refers to the change in the size of the prostate and not the potential symptoms that it may cause, which are usually referred to as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). LUTS may be primarily irritative, obstructive, or mixed. Men with BPH may be asymptomatic, respond to lifestyle changes, or require medical or surgical therapy; symptoms are more common as men age.
Symptoms
The symptoms of Benign prostatic hyperplasia include:
- Obstructive Symptoms - Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying, Straining to void,Urinary hesitancy, Weak urinary stream
- Irritative Symptoms - Dysuria, Nocturia, Urinary frequency, Urinary urgency
Diagnosis
Several key diagnostic tools and investigations are used to diagnose BPH in men who present with LUTS. The first and most important tool in the assessment and diagnosis of BPH is the medical history of the patient. By taking a detailed history, one can establish potential causes and relevant comorbidities of LUTS, some of which might contribute to LUTS. A physical examination, including a digital rectal examination (DRE) and urinalysis, is the next step in diagnosis. Further investigations, such as uroflowmetry and measuring PVR volume, should help to confirm the presence of obstructive symptoms attributable to BPH.
Treatment
Pharmacologic treatment- Men with moderate to severe LUTS from BPH (AUASI score of 8 or higher) or mild LUTS that are deemed bothersome by the patient may be offered pharmacologic treatment. The 2 major classes of medications for BPH are alpha-adrenergic blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. The PDE-5 inhibitor tadalafil is also approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of BPH.
Non Pharmacologic treatment- In men with mild LUTS symptoms from BPH (usually defined as an AUASI score of 0-7), medical or surgical treatment is not required. In the Medical Therapy of Prostatic Symptoms Study,23 fewer than 5% of men with mild symptoms who did not receive treatment had a progression of their symptoms as defined by a 4-point or greater increase in their AUASI score. No cases of acute kidney injury due to obstructive uropathy occurred.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Benign prostatic hyperplasia report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia Emerging Drugs
- Topsalysin: Sophiris Bio
Topsalysin is a modified pore forming protein (proaerolysin) in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. It was developed by Sophiris Bio, then licensed to Kissei for development.
- OPK88004: Eli Lilly and Company
OPK88004 is a Phase 2 drug that is a selective androgen receptor modulator. OPK-88004 has the ability to serve as an antagonist to androgen receptors in the prostate, resulting in decreased prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels, and as an agonist resulting in increased anabolic effects, such as increased lean body mass and physical function and decreased fat mass. The originator of this was Eli Lilly and now licensed by OPKO Health.
