A 52‐week multicenter randomized controlled study of the efficacy and safety of add‐on dutasteride and imidafenacin to tamsulosin in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia with remaining overactive bladder symptoms (DIrecT study)

摘要

The aim of this study was to examine the long‐term efficacy of combination of tamsulosin 0.2 mg + dutasteride 0.5 mg + imidafenacin 0.2 mg (TDI) therapy compared with tamsulosin + dutasteride (TD) therapy for 52 weeks in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients with a prostate volume (PV) ≥30 mL and remaining overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms after having received tamsulosin for ≥8 weeks. Previously, we reported that the improvement in OAB symptoms at 24 weeks was significantly greater in the TDI than TD group.
