Impact of disease progression on individual IPSS trajectories and consequences of immediate versus delayed start of treatment in patients with moderate or severe LUTS associated with BPH.


ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Despite superiority of tamsulosin-dutasteride combination therapy versus monotherapy for lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH), patients at risk of disease progression are often initiated on ?-blockers. This study evaluated the impact of initiating tamsulosin monotherapy prior to switching to tamsulosin-dutasteride combination therapy versus immediate combination therapy using a longitudinal model describing International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) trajectories in moderate/severe LUTS/BPH patients at risk of disease progression.

Methods

Clinical trial simulations (CTS) were performed using data from 10,238 patients from Phase III/IV dutasteride trials. The effect of varying disease progression rates was explored by comparing profiles on- and off-treatment. CTS scenarios were investigated, including a reference (immediate combination therapy) and six alternative virtual treatment arms (delayed combination therapy of 1-24 months). Clinical response (??25% IPSS reduction relative to baseline) was analysed using log-rank test. Differences in IPSS relative to baseline at various on-treatment time points were assessed by t tests.

Results

Delayed combination therapy initiation led to significant (p?ConclusionsCTS allows systematic evaluation of immediate versus delayed combination therapy. Immediate response to ?-blockers is not predictive of long-term symptom improvement. Observed IPSS differences between immediate and delayed combination therapy (6-24 months) are statistically significant.
