Brief Summary:
A new drug for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia is compared with placebo and tamsulosin (a drug belonging to the same therapeutic class) for to determine if it is safe and effective (the first phase of the study lasts approximately 18 weeks) and then is used for another 9 months to determine its long-term safety.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Drug: Silodosin Drug: Tamsulosin Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This is a multi-centre, double-blind, placebo and active controlled, parallel 12 week treatment trial in men with signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, followed by a 9 month open-label phase. The following procedures are used: physical exams, electrocardiograms, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, the International Prostate Symptom Score, maximum urine flow rate, adverse events, concomitant medications, quality of life and compliance. 93 centres in 11 European countries (Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Ukraine, UK) will be involved
