Tamsulosin with or without tadalafil for catheter removal after urinary retention
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding tadalafil to tamsulosin helps men pass a catheter removal test after a first-time urinary blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. The goal is to find which treatment works best to avoid needing a catheter again.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a man aged 50 or older
- It is your first time having sudden, painful urinary retention
- A catheter was placed successfully and drained at least 300 mL of urine
- An enlarged prostate confirmed by exam or ultrasound

This study tests whether taking tadalafil (at 2.5 mg or 5 mg) along with tamsulosin is better for treating urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate than taking tamsulosin alone. It aims to find the best dose combination to improve your quality of life.
This trial tests whether increasing your prostate medication (tamsulosin) or switching to a different medication (silodosin) helps you urinate normally again after a sudden blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. The goal is to help you avoid long-term catheter use.
This trial compares two medications, silodosin and tamsulosin, to see which one works better for men with frequent or difficult urination caused by an enlarged prostate. All participants will try both medicines at different times to find the best option.
This trial tests whether taking Tamsulosin before a prostate biopsy can help prevent short-term urination problems. It may be a good option if you are scheduled for a biopsy and haven't taken similar drugs recently.
This study compares two approaches for men who have had a catheter placed for sudden urinary blockage: trying to remove the catheter early (after 1 day) versus waiting a few more days. It aims to see which timing works better to help you urinate without the catheter.
This trial studies whether daily tadalafil (5 mg) can improve early urinary trouble and erection function after endoscopic prostate tissue removal. It may help men whose urinary symptoms continued even after prior medicine.
