  1. Medical Therapy of Prostate Symptoms (MTOPS) Jeannette Y. Lee, Ph.D. University of Alabama at Birmingham

  2. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) • Common cause of morbidity among older men • Characterized by bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) • Men with BPH and larger prostates due to BPH are at increased risk of complications such as acute urinary retention

  3. Prevalence • Clinical Significant BPH • AUA symptom score > 7 points (moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms) • Depressed peak uroflow (< 15 mL/sec) • Prevalence by age group • 17% in men from 50-59 yrs of age • 27% in men from 60-69 yrs of age • 35% in men from 70-79 yrs of age

  4. MTOPS Trial Design • Randomized, double blind, 2 x 2 factorial • Two-year enrollment period • Minimum four-year follow-up period • Objective: to determine if doxazosin or finasteride, alone or in combination delayed or prevented clinical progression of BPH

  5. Inclusion Criteria • Men > 50 yrs of age • AUA symptom score of 8-35 • Peak urinary flow rate of 4-15 ml/sec • Voided volume > 15 ml

  6. Exclusion Criteria • Prior medical or surgical intervention for BPH • Supine blood pressure < 90/70 mmHg • PSA > 10 ng/ml

  7. Factorial Design

  8. Treatments • 5-areductase inhibitor Finasteride dose: 5 mg • Alpha blocker Doxazosin dose doubled weekly starting with 1 mg daily until daily dose of 8 mg reached.

  9. Follow-up Evaluations • Vital signs • AUA symptom score • Urinary flow rate • Adverse Events • DRE, serum PSA< urinalysis • Prostate volume (TRUS)

  10. Follow-up Questionnaire • AUA Symptom Score • QOL Short Form-36 (SF-36) • Sexual function questionnaire • Prostatitis Questionnaire

  11. Primary Endpoints • Primary endpoint: time to BPH progression defined as • > 4 point increase in AUA symptom score • Acute urinary retention • Renal insufficiency • Recurrent urinary tract infection • Urinary incontinence

  12. Secondary Endpoints • Changes over time • AUA symptom score • Maximal urinary flow rate • PSA level • Prostate volume • Cumulative incidence of invasive treatments for BPH

  13. Results • 3047 men randomized • Baseline characteristics • Mean age: 62.6 yrs • White: 82% • Mean AUA symptom score: 16.9 • Mean prostate volume: 36.3 ml • Mean Max urinary flow rate: 10.5 ml/min • Mean post void residual volume: 68.1 ml • Mean serum PSA: 2.4 ng/ml • Mean serum creatinine: 1.1 mg/dl

  14. Clinical Progression of BPHRate per 100 PYs

  15. Clinical Progression of BPHEvents

  16. Cumulative Incidence of Progression(N Engl J Med 2003: 349 (25): 2387-97)

  17. Rate of Progression per 100 PYs • Placebo: 4.5 BPH Progressors • Doxazosin: 2.7 BPH Progressors • Finasteride: 2.9 BPH Progressors • Combination: 1.5 BPH Progressors

  18. Invasive Therapy due to BPH

  19. Adverse Events – Sexual Function(Rate per 100 PYs) * p<0.05 compared to placebo

  20. Adverse Events – Hypotension(Rate per 100 PYs) * p<0.05 compared to placebo

  21. MTOPS Summary • Combination therapy with doxazosin and finasteride was safe and reduced the risk of overall clinical progression more than each drug alone. • Finasteride containing regimens reduced the long-term risk of AUR and need for invasive therapy. McConnell et al, N Engl J Med 2003.

  22. Methods papers • Study Design • Bautista et al, Controlled Clinical Trials 2003 • Recruitment • Kusek et al, Controlled Clinical Trials 2002

  23. Secondary Analyses • Placebo patients – baseline factors associated with clinical progression * • Total prostate volume • PSA • Peak flow rate • Post residual volume • Age * Crawford et al, J Urol 2006

  24. Secondary Analyses • Combination therapy is better than either agent alone (finasteride, doxazosin) in decreasing the risk of clinical BPH progression in those with higher prostate volumes* Kaplan et al, J Urol 2006

  25. MPSA • MTOPS Prostatic Sample Analysis Consortium – evaluate biomarkers associated with BPH (Mullins et al, J Urol 2008).

  26. Analyses in Progress • Longitudinal analyses of sexual function • Risk of prostate cancer

  27. MTOPS Data Available • Uroflow Measurements (quarterly) • Compliance/pill counts (quarterly) • PSA measurements (semi-annually) • PE, CBC, serum chemistry, urinalysis (annually) • TRUS and Biopsy (Screening, 12 mos, end of study)

  28. MTOPS Questionnaires • AUA Symptom Questionnaire (quarterly) • Sexual Function Questionnaire (screening and end of study) • Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) – Short Form 36 (SF-36) (annually) • Prostatitis Questionnaire (annually)

  29. MTOPS Data from Diagnostic Center • PSA (ng/ml) • LH (mIU/ml) • Testosterone (ng/dl) • % Free PSA • Total PSA
