Objectives:We examined the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with androgenetic alopecia. Patients with BPH were treated with either finasteride or dutasteride. The mean change in prostatic volume at 12 months of follow-up was -0.5 vs. -0.2 ml/cm2 at baseline, -0.2 vs. -0.2 ml/cm2 at follow-up, and -0.6 vs. -0.7 ml/cm2 at baseline. The mean change in urinary flow rate (QTc) was -0.7 vs. -0.2 s/hr at 12 months. There were no significant differences in the proportion of patients with prostate specific antigen (PSA) above the reference range between the two treatment groups (P = 0.09). Results from a total of 8,500 men (aged 18 to 50 years with no evidence of BPH) treated with finasteride, dutasteride, or placebo were analyzed. Prostatic volume was decreased by 55% at 12 months (P < 0.001) but the increase in urinary flow rate was not statistically significant (P = 0.07). At 12 months, the mean QTc of the two treatment groups was -0.3 and -0.4 s/hr, respectively. The mean change in urinary flow rate was -0.8 vs. -0.4 s/hr at 12 months, and was statistically significant (-0.5 vs. -0.3 s/hr at 12 months). The mean change in prostate volume was -0.3 vs. -0.3 ml/cm2 at 12 months (P = 0.001). The mean change in QTc at 12 months was -0.7 vs. -0.2 ml/cm2 at 12 months (P = 0.09). There was no difference in the proportion of patients with BPH treated with finasteride and dutasteride over the placebo group. There was no significant difference between the two treatment groups in terms of urinary flow rate.
Patients and methods:A total of 10,072 patients (aged 18 to 50 years with no evidence of BPH) with BPH, and 10,945 men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were treated with finasteride and dutasteride at baseline and at 12 months. Finasteride, dutasteride, and placebo were given as monotherapy or in combination. Dutasteride and placebo were given as monotherapy or in combination. The mean change in prostatic volume at 12 months was -0.5 ml/cm2 at baseline, -0.6 ml/cm2 at 12 months, and -0.7 ml/cm2 at 12 months. At 12 months, the change in urinary flow rate was -0.7 ml/hr at 12 months, and was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The change in prostate volume at 12 months was -0.2 ml/hr at 12 months, and was statistically significant (P = 0.07). The mean change in QTc was -0.3 vs. -0.3 ml/hr at 12 months, and was statistically significant (-0.5 vs. -0.4 ml/hr at 12 months). The mean change in urinary flow rate was -0.7 vs. -0.2 s/hr at 12 months (P = 0.05). There was no significant difference between treatment groups in terms of prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels at 12 months.
Results:The mean change in urinary flow rate was -0.7 ml/hr at 12 months, and was statistically significant (-0.5 vs. -0.3 ml/hr at 12 months). The change in urinary flow rate was significantly different between finasteride and dutasteride (P = 0.001). The change in QTc was -0.5 vs. -0.3 ml/hr at 12 months (P = 0.01).
Conclusions:The clinical effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in men with androgenetic alopecia was evaluated by the change in urinary flow rate. The changes in urinary flow rate were statistically significant compared with the change in QTc, which was a small but clinically important decrease (P < 0.001).
