Scientific title | |
Study objectives | Can tamsulosin, an alpha-1-adrenergic antagonist, be used in uncomplicated renal colic to improve spontaneous ureteric calculus passage rates. |
Ethics approval(s) | 1. Approval for the lead centre: Central and South Bristol Research Ethics Committee. Date of approval: 24/09/2004 (ref: 04/Q2006/88). All other centres obtained approval before recruitment of participants. 2. Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Approval expected in May 2008. |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Urological and Genital Diseases: Acute renal colic |
Intervention | As of 28/03/2013 the trial status was changed to 'stopped' as the trial was closed in January 2011 due to recruitment issues. Please note that, as of 11/04/2008, the anticipated start and end dates of this trial were updated from 01/06/2005 and 01/04/2007 to 01/05/2008 and 31/05/2010. This study is proposed to be a prospective, randomised double blind placebo controlled clinical trial. The patients will be randomly allocated to receive tamsulosin or placebo for a maximum of 6 weeks during conservative treatment of renal colic. Patients will be regularly monitored for side effects, stone passage and analgesic use during this time period. |

Phase | Not Specified |
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Tamsulosin |
Primary outcome measure | Primary outcome measures amended as of 11/04/2008: 1. Spontaneous stone passage within 6 weeks 2. Early intervention due to complications Primary outcome measures provided at time of registration: 1. The percentage of calculi passed spontaneously within 6 weeks 2. The mean time to spontaneous passage 3. The mean use of analgesia in the form of diclofenac (recommended first line analgesic) |
Secondary outcome measures | Added as of 11/04/2008: The following will be assessed at the end of the trial, i.e. time of stone passage or 6 weeks if stone not passed: 1. Percentage of calculi passed spontaneously within six weeks 2. Mean time to spontaneous passage 3. Mean use of analgesia in the form of diclofenac |
Overall study start date | 01/05/2008 |
