Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline Erectile Function Domain of the International Index of Erectile Function
Baseline and 12 Weeks

The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) is used for the evaluation of male sexual function and diagnostic evaluation of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) severity. There are 5 domains of the IIEF: erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction. The Erectile Function (EF) domain of the IIEF is used to assess specific key components of ED including ability to achieve penetration and ability to maintain erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. A score of 0-5 is awarded to each question of the IIEF. The EF domain pertains to questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 15. Scores are totaled and ranges are assigned to results. In the EF domain, a score of 0-30 is possible. The EF scores can be interpreted as follows: 0-6 severe dysfunction, 7-12 moderate dysfunction, 13-18 mild to moderate dysfunction, 19-24 mild dysfunction, and 25-30 no dysfunction.

Number of Participants With a Decrease From Baseline ≥ 1 in the Society of Fetal Urology (SFU) Grade of Hydronephrosis
baseline and 12 weeks (efficacy study phase)

Hydronephrosis was investigated by ultrasound and graded using SFU classification at each time point. 'Complete response' was assessed when bilateral hydronephrosis at baseline and grade decrease from baseline ≥ 1 for both kidneys, or, unilateral hydronephrosis at baseline and grade decrease from baseline ≥ 1 for the affected kidney without worsening of the other kidney. 'Partial response' was assessed when bilateral hydronephrosis at baseline and grade decrease from baseline ≥ 1 for one kidney without worsening of the other kidney.

Number of Patients With Detrusor Leak Point Pressure (LPP) < 40 cm H2O
12 weeks (double blind treatment period)

Detrusor Leak Point Pressure (LPP) was measured by cystometry. For each measure, 2 or 3 cystometries were carried out depending on the difference between the 2 first LPP values (if the difference ≥ 20 cm H2O, a 3rd cystometry was done). The lowest value was retained. Investigators reading was then consolidated by the review of all cystometry data by 2 external "Expert Reviewers", who were blinded for the study treatment. The analysis was performed on consolidated investigators data (i.e. endorsed by the Investigator taking into account reviewers opinion).

Frequently asked questions about ALFUZOSIN

What is ALFUZOSIN used for?

ALFUZOSIN is used for urologic conditions including acute urinary retention, hydronephrosis, neurogenic urinary bladder, prostatic hyperplasia, urinary retention, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is being studied in clinical trials for these indications, primarily in male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms.

What does ALFUZOSIN target?

ALFUZOSIN is a small molecule developed by Sanofi. It is an alpha-blocker that works by relaxing smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck to improve urine flow. The drug targets alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, which are involved in controlling muscle tone in these areas.

Who makes ALFUZOSIN?

ALFUZOSIN is developed by Sanofi, a global pharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker SNY. Sanofi is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's efficacy and safety for various urological conditions.

What phase is ALFUZOSIN in?

ALFUZOSIN is in Phase 3 clinical development. It has completed two Phase 3 trials and two Phase 2 trials, with a total enrollment of 1,977 participants. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is ALFUZOSIN in?

ALFUZOSIN has completed four clinical trials. NCT00336921 studied acute urinary retention in China. NCT00540891 evaluated benign prostatic hyperplasia in the United States. NCT00549939 and NCT00576823 assessed neurogenic urinary bladder and hydronephrosis in children and adolescents across multiple countries.

Is ALFUZOSIN the same as alfuzosin hydrochloride?

ALFUZOSIN is the generic name for the drug, and it is also known as alfuzosin hydrochloride. The drug is being developed by Sanofi for urological conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and urinary retention.
