Section to complete information about primary and secondary outcomes including. It includes the metric or method of measurement used and, the time point for every outcome.
Primary outcome(s):
Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (evaluated by International Prostate Symptom Score: IPSS: Mild 1-7, Moderate 8-18, Severe 19-35). Measuring time: at baseline, and at 2, 4 and 6 months.
Key secondary outcomes:
Prostate size (determined by transrectal ultrasound-cm). Measuring time: at baseline, 6 months after treatment
Retention volume (in mm, determined by transrectal ultrasound). Measuring time: at baseline, 6 months after treatment
Symptoms relief (subjective assessment of symptoms: no changes, better, worse) Measuring time: 6 months after treatment
Physical exam (Weigth (kg), Blood presure (mm Hg), Cardiac frequency (Pulse por minute)). Measuring time: at baseline, and 2,4 and 6 months
Hematologic parameters (hemoglobin (g / dL), hematocrit (%), leukocyte count (cells x 10 9 / L), red blood cells (cells x 10 12 / L), platelets (cells x 10 9 / L)). Measuring time: at baseline and 6 months.
Blood chemistry parameters (Alanine amino transferase (ALT) (U/L), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (U/L), Glucose (mmol/L), Creatinine (mmol/L), PCR (mg/L)). Measuring time: at baseline and 6 months.
Prostate-Specific Antigen test (PSA, ng/mL). Measuring time: at baseline and 6 months.
Adverse Events (AE). Measuring time: 2, 4 y 6 months of treatment. The AE will measure like:
- Description of the AE (name of the event)
- Intensity of AE (Mild, Moderate, Severe)
- Causality relationship (WHO scale- Very probable, Probable, Possible, Remote, Not related, Unknown)
