| Official Title: | A Double-Blind Randomized Parallel Group Study of Alfuzosin 10mg OD Versus Placebo in the Management of Acute Urinary Retention in Patients With a First Episode Due to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) |
- Successful voiding in initial period (using an active voiding trial)
- No relapse during the 6 month treatment period
- No need / indication for surgery during the initial or 6 month treatment periods
- To assess the safety of alfuzosin in this population, and health care consumption

Double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized Multicenter, Phase III study comparing 2 parallel groups (alfuzosin 10mg OD or placebo) in patients with a first episode of acute urinary retention related to BPH.The acute episode is managed with catheterization and with study drug treatment for 2 to 3 days, followed by an active voiding trial to assess the patients' ability to void after catheter removal.
Those patients who successfully void will continue their randomized treatment for a total treatment duration of 6 months. For all patients who are prematurely withdrawn during the study, a post-study (clinic or phone) visit will be performed for collection of health care consumption data.
