Background:The FDA has approved the use of finasteride 5 mg once daily in men with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), the most common type of enlarged prostate. It is a 5 mg dose given every 12 weeks, the recommended dose being 5 mg, which is the lowest dose available for the treatment of prostate enlargement. It is known that finasteride is an antiandrogen, which has been demonstrated to reduce the size of the prostate in animals and humans. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated whether it is possible to use finasteride for the treatment of BPH.
Methods:We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study, and an open-label extension of our earlier double-blind, randomized study (Study D). We enrolled male subjects between the ages of 18 and 35 years at our institution from December 2013 to March 2014. The study was approved by the institutional review boards of the participating institutional review boards and the institutional research ethics committees of the Division of Dermatology at the University of Chicago and the Institute of Dermatology at the University of Chicago. The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. All subjects provided written informed consent prior to participation. Inclusion criteria for participation in the study were as follows: a minimum of 12 weeks of age, a male or female partner of at least 18 years old, a minimum of 12 weeks of body mass index (BMI) between 40 and 44 kg/m2, and at least 2 months of menopausal status. Subjects were excluded if they: were over 65 years old; had an intact prostate (BPH), had a BPH or prostate cancer; were taking a hormonal therapy, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), or prostate-specific antigen (PSA) above the upper limit of normal (ULN). Patients and their medical history were recorded. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the University of Chicago, which waived the need for informed consent prior to conducting this study.
Results:Of the 13 subjects enrolled, 9 received finasteride (5 mg, once daily) and 5 received placebo. The mean body weight and age were 54.5 (SD, 13.3) years. The mean BMI was higher in the 5 mg finasteride group than in the placebo group (37.8 (SE, 3.4) vs 41.1 (SE, 3.4), P=0.023), and the number of subjects was higher in the 5 mg finasteride group than in the placebo group (10.8 (SE, 5.0) vs 10.0 (SE, 5.0), P=0.003). There was no significant difference in age and baseline prostate volume between the two groups (p=0.944 and 0.724, respectively). The mean age at baseline was 37.1 (SE, 6.6) years in the 5 mg finasteride group and 36.5 (SE, 7.5) years in the placebo group.
Conclusions:A dose of 5 mg finasteride was effective for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy and significantly reduced the size of the prostate in men with this condition.
