Intraprostatic Injection of Botulinum Toxin for the Management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Randomized Phase II Trial
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. Completed, enrolled 134 participants across 7 sites.
Detailed Summary
This is a double-blind randomized phase II trial to determine whether two different doses of BoNT/A injection into the prostate gland demonstrate sufficient improvement in the management of lower urinary symptoms due to BPH to warrant more extensive research. Subjects will receive either a 100U or 300U dose. Participation will last 1 year.

Timeline
Interventions
100 unit and 300 unit dosages: Dilute each 100 U vial with 1.3 ml of normal saline. Each reconstituted vial is then drawn up into a single syringe with a total of 4 ml = 300 U. The instrument used to inject the botulinum toxin is an ultrasound device with a transrectal ultrasound probe specially designed for prostate biopsies which has a special canal to introduce and direct a needle in to the selected prostatic area.
