Study on the Effectiveness of Tranilast in the Treatment of Medium to Large Volume Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Recruiting now · Early Phase 1
Conditions studied: Prostatic Hypertrophy, Benign
In brief
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common urinary and reproductive system diseases in elderly men. The preliminary research of the research group found that mast cells are cells that promote the progression of BPH, and the commonly used mast cell membrane stabilizer and TGF - β pathway inhibitor tranilast significantly inhibited the increase in prostate volume in animal experiments, which is considered to have potential applications in the treatment of BPH. This study plans to include 30 patients with medium to large volume BPH and experimentally explore the efficacy and safety of tranilast in the treatment of medium to large volume BPH.
