Brief Summary:
The current study is being conducted by the Sponsor to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GV1001 (0.56 mg and 1.12 mg) administered as a treatment for Benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH). The investigational drug, GV1001, was first developed as a cancer vaccine for use as active immunotherapy of cancer forms expressing telomerase (eg, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, etc.). Subsequently, it was found that GV1001 showed efficacy in alleviating BPH symptoms during in vivo studies by reducing the size of the prostate gland. Based on the result, the effectiveness of GV1001 as a treatment for BPH has been assessed in experimental animals that are designed to develop BPH.
It is considered that GV1001 acts to alleviate BPH and the results obtained from previous phase II study indicate that GV1001 may provide potential beneficial effects in BPH patients.
So this study is to verify the efficacy and safety of GV1001 on BPH population, large-scale clinical study than phase II.
Detailed Description:
This was a multi-center, randomized, Double-blind, Active-controlled, parallel design, Phase 3 study in patients with BPH. The study consisted of a Screening period, a 4-weeks Run-in/Washout period, a 24-week Treatment period, an Evaluation and Close-out Visit at Week 24.
There are a total of 3 groups in this study, which contained 2 study groups (GV1001) and 1 placebo group (0.9% normal saline). Approximately 417 patients are planned to be randomly assigned into the study in a 1:1:1 ratio. All patients are randomized into 1 of 3 treatment groups to ensure completion of patients.
The Screening period have a time period of 4 weeks before the beginning of Run-in/Washout period. Eligible patients entered into a 4-week Run-in/Washout period and receive placebo treatment, which will be completed before randomization on Week 0. All randomized patients will receive the investigational drug or a placebo via intradermal injection 12 times with a 2-week interval at Weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24. Efficacy evaluation will be conducted at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24, and safety evaluation will be conducted throughout the 24-weeks period.
