Oxiblume:CoQ10 (Ralivia) Therapy for Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS)

Oxiblume:CoQ10 (Ralivia) Therapy for Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS): a Double-blind Placebo-controlled Randomized Clinical Trial Assessing Treatment Efficacy and Safety.

Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) has a huge socioeconomic impact.Presently, a ''scientific dead-end'' regarding effective treatment of CP/CPPS is reported. Promising results of clinical studies, regardless their limitations, upon efficacy of phytotherapy for CP/CPPS patients have been published .Phytotherapy is cost effective and avoids the systemic side effects of other treatments being a therapy with the possibility of repeating the treatment protocol at any time. Certain important issues, regarding the efficacy and safety of phytotherapy, remain to be answered thus investing scientifically and economically to the concept of phytotherapy for CP/CPPS, definitively seems to be a move to the right direction.

In this concept we will conduct a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial assessing treatment efficacy and safety of Oxiblume:CoQ10 (Ralivia) therapy for CP/CPPS

The study will be coordinated by the research office of 1st Urology Department, G. Gennimatas Hospital, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. The research office will also support the project (logistics, quality control, management, data acquisition, publications).

Patients visits will be carried out in the CP/CPPS Research Unit of the 1st Urology Department, G. Gennimatas Hospital, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.

Laboratory tests of all patients will be performed at the same microbiology laboratory.

Study population A total of 100 patients (50 in Group A and 50 in Group B) with CP/CPPS diagnosis will participate in this study.

7. Participant with penile or urinary sphincter implants.
8. Participant has been diagnosed with cancer during the last 5 years or had any surgery in the pelvis.

Study design Double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial

Zero hypothesis (H0) and alternative hypothesis (H1):

(H0): Group A demonstrates similar efficacy compared to Group B for the treatment CP/CPPS patients.

(H1): Group A demonstrates greater or decreased efficacy compared to Group B for the treatment CP/CPPS patients.

Study endpoints Primary endpoint: The difference between the Group A and Group B in the change of the pain domain of NIH-CPSI score from baseline to 12 weeks after treatment initiation.

Secondary endpoints:

• Adverse events rate in all patients during study period.
• The difference between the Group A and Group B in the change of the pain domain of NIH-CPSI score from baseline to 6 weeks after treatment start.

• The difference between the Group A and Group B in the change of the following parameters from baseline to 6 and 12 weeks after treatment initiation

  1. Total NIH-CPSI score (Q1-9)
  2. Urinary symptoms (Q 5-6) and quality of life domains (Q 7-9) of the NIH-CPSI score
  3. IIEF-ED score
  4. IPSS
  5. UPPOINTS phenotype- number of positive domains
  6. Psa value
  7. TNFa, IL 6 values

Patients accordingly to which group they will be randomized will receive:

• Active treatment (Ralivia) Group : 1 pill of Ralivia per os/day for a 3-month period
• Placebo Group : 1 placebo pill per os/day for a 3-month period

Adverse events will be reported.

FU Visit 1: 6 weeks after treatment initiation NIH-CPSI, IPSS, IIEF-ED questionnaires will be answered. Adverse events will be reported. Clinical symptoms assessed, in order to determine UPOINT status.

PSA TNFa, IL 1β, IL 6, IL 10 blood test.

FU Visit 2: 12 weeks after treatment initiation NIH-CPSI, IPSS, IIEF-ED questionnaires will be answered. Adverse events will be reported. Clinical symptoms assessed, in order to determine UPOINT status.

DRE will be performed . PSA TNFa, IL 6 blood test
