What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at 12 Weeks	The IPSS Total Score was obtained by combining the scores of the responses to Component Questions 1-7. Each question was scored from 0-5 for an IPSS range of 0-35 points; higher numerical scores from the IPSS questionnaire represented greater severity of symptoms. Least Squares (LS) Mean of change from baseline to endpoint (Week 12 or last post-baseline value carried forward) was from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment group, region, centered-baseline covariate, centered-baseline-by-treatment interaction, and treatment-by-region interaction.	Baseline, 12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Scores ranged from 0 (no obstructive symptoms)-5 (frequent obstructive symptoms); therefore, the 4 questions of the obstructive score ranged from 0-20. Least Squares (LS) Mean of change from baseline to endpoint (Week 12 or last post-baseline value carried forward) was from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment group, region, centered-baseline covariate, centered-baseline-by-treatment interaction, and treatment-by-region interaction.	Baseline, 12 weeks
Change From Baseline in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) Nocturia Question at 12 Weeks	The IPSS nocturia question (Component Question 7) measured nocturia (need to urinate at night) over the past 4 weeks. Scores ranged from 0 (no episodes of nocturia)-5 (5 or more episodes of nocturia). Least Squares (LS) Mean of change from baseline to endpoint (Week 12 or last post-baseline value carried forward) was from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment group, region, centered-baseline covariate, centered-baseline-by-treatment interaction, and treatment-by-region interaction.	Baseline, 12 weeks
Change From Baseline in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) Quality of Life (QoL) Index at 12 Weeks	IPSS QoL assessed QoL by urinary symptoms, with scores ranging from 0 (delighted)-6 (terrible). Least Squares (LS) Mean of change from baseline to endpoint (Week 12 or last post-baseline value carried forward) was from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment group, region, centered-baseline covariate, centered-baseline-by-treatment interaction, and treatment-by-region interaction.	Baseline, 12 weeks
Change From Baseline in Modified International Prostate Symptom Score (mIPSS) at 1 Week	The mIPSS Total Score covered a time period of 1 week and was obtained by combining scores of responses to Component Questions 1-7. Each question was scored from 0-5 for an mIPSS range of 0-35 points; higher numerical scores represented greater severity of symptoms. Least Squares (LS) Mean of change from baseline to endpoint (Week 1 or last post-baseline value carried forward) was from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment group, region, centered-baseline covariate, centered-baseline-by-treatment interaction, and treatment-by-region interaction.	Baseline, 1 week
Change From Baseline in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index (BII) at 4 Weeks	BII was a 4-item, self-administered questionnaire evaluating impact of urinary problems on overall health and activity. Total scores ranged from 0-13; higher scores represented increased perceived impact of BPH-lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) on overall health. Least Squares (LS) Mean of change from baseline to endpoint (Week 4 or last post-baseline value carried forward) was from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment group, region, centered-baseline covariate, centered-baseline-by-treatment interaction, and treatment-by-region interaction.	Baseline, 4 weeks
Change From Baseline in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index (BII) at 12 Weeks	BII was a 4-item, self-administered questionnaire evaluating impact of urinary problems on overall health and activity. Total scores ranged from 0-13; higher scores represented increased perceived impact of BPH-lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) on overall health. Least Squares (LS) Mean of change from baseline to endpoint (Week 12 or last post-baseline value carried forward) was from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment group, region, centered-baseline covariate, centered-baseline-by-treatment interaction, and treatment-by-region interaction.	Baseline, 12 weeks
Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) at 12 Weeks	The PGI-I was a participant-rated instrument that measured the improvement or worsening of the participant's symptoms based on a 7-point scale at Week 12. A score of 1=participant felt symptoms were "very much better"; score of 2=participant felt symptoms were "much better"; score of 3=participant felt symptoms were "a little better"; score of 4=participant felt "no change" in symptoms; score of 5=participant felt symptoms were "a little worse"; score of 6=participant felt symptoms were "much worse"; score of 7=participant felt symptoms were "very much worse".	12 weeks
Clinician Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) at 12 Weeks	The CGI-I was an investigator-rated instrument that measured improvement or worsening of the participant's symptoms based on a 7-point scale.
