Objectives: This study is intended to examine the effectiveness of a well-defined extract from pumpkin seed and the effectiveness of pumpkin seed in the symptomatic treatment of BPH under the conditions in daily practice. Through the 3-arm design, it was possible to compare pumpkin seed - which cannot be blinded - in comparison to placebo. • Primary target outcome criteria were the IPSS responder rate for pumpkin seed extract compared to placebo and the responder rate of pumpkin seed compared to placebo, after 12 months of treatment. Responders were defined as patients with at least a 5 point improvement in the International Prostate Symptom Score IPSS compared to baseline. • Secondary endpoints were the change in IPSS and its individual items, the change of the frequency of nocturia (micturition diary), and the course of the IPSS-related quality of life (IPSS-QoL), the primary reasons for discontinuation, the participant’s actual time in the study and the tolerability. • The evaluation of tolerability of pumpkin seed extract and pumpkin seed was based on the incidence of adverse events (AE), the vital signs, a physical examination, including the determination of residual urinary volume, prostate volume, the peak urinary flow rate (Qmax) and a qualitative urine analysis) and the clinical analysis of laboratory parameters including the serum PSA value.

Method (study design): This was a randomised, multi-centre study with a 12-month treatment phase and 3 parallel treatment groups (2-times daily 1 capsule pumpkin seed extract [500 mg of pumpkin seed extract], 2-times daily 5 grams of pumpkin seed or 2 times daily 1 capsule placebo) to determine the effectiveness of pumpkin seed extract compared to placebo in double-blinded manner, and the efficacy of pumpkin seed compared to placebo in an open design. After patients had undergone a 1-month run-in phase, they were randomly assigned to one of three parallel treatment groups in a 1:1:1 ratio. Regular post-randomisation visits took place every 3 months. At each visit, IPSS data was collected. In addition, patients were asked to complete a micturition diary on 3 consecutive days before each study visit, in which they noted the frequency of nocturia per night.

Number of Patients (planned and analysed): It was planned to screen 1770 patients and to randomise 1590 patients (530 patients per treatment group [pumpkin seed extract, pumpkin seed, placebo]). Patient recruiting for this clinical trial was terminated after more than three year´s duration on 30th June 2008 before achieving the planned number of patients, as recruiting progressed extremely slowly. In fact, of the 1599 initially screened patients 1431 were randomised (481 to the pumpkin seed extract group, 475 to the pumpkin seed group, 475 to the placebo group), 1430 received the study medication. Safety population: 1488 patients (57 non-randomised, 481 pumpkin seed extract, 475 pumpkin seed, 475 placebo) ITT population: 1430 patients (481 pumpkin seed extract, 475 pumpkin seed, 474 placebo). PP population: 908 patients (307 pumpkin seed extract, 291 pumpkin seed, 310 placebo). The treatment groups were similar with regard to demographic and anamnesis data in all populations.

Diagnosis and main inclusion criteria: Male patients aged 50 to 80 years, who suffered from symptomatic BPH, could be included in the clinical trial if their BPH-related micturition symptoms had existed for at least 6 months, they achieved an IPSS of  13 and  19, an IPSS-QoL of  3, and the frequency of nocturia was at least twice per night. Further important inclusion criteria were: residual urine volume ≤ 100 ml, prostate volume ≤ 40 ml, and a peak urinary flow rate  12 ml/s at a micturition volume of at least 150 ml. Patients with prostate cancer, with disorders associated with micturition disturbances, with neurological diseases, with a PSA value of more than 10 ng/ml (with values above 4 ng/ml exclusion of prostate carcinoma using biopsy was obligatory), and patients, who had been treated with synthetic prostate drugs or phytotherapeutics within the last 6 months before inclusion in this clinical trial for BPH/micturition disorders, were excluded from participation.

Test preparations, dosage and type of application: Pumpkin seed extract (Test preparation 1): GRANU FINK Prosta forte – CCI Capsules for oral administration 2 times daily. Pharmaceutically active constituents: One capsule contained 500 mg pumpkin seed extract (15-25:1) of the cultivated variety Cucurbita pepo L. convar. citrullinina I.GREB var. styriaca I. GREB (extraction solvent ethanol 92% m/m). Batch numbers: 640001, 650001.

GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare GmbH & Co. KG Evaluation criteria: Primary:

• IPSS responder rate of pumpkin seed extract versus placebo after 12 months treatment, as well as the responder rate of pumpkin seed versus placebo after 12 months treatment. Patients with at least a 5 point improvement in the IPSS in comparison to baseline were defined as responders.

Secondary:

• Change in the IPSS over the study period • Change in the individual IPSS items over the study period • Change in nocturia frequency (micturition diary) • Quality of life (IPSS-QoL) • Period of time spent in trial participation • Reasons for early withdrawal from the trial • Tolerability

The tolerability of pumpkin seed extract and pumpkin seed was evaluated based on the AE incidence, the vital parameters, a physical examination (including the determination of the volume of residual urine, prostate volume, the peak urinary flow rate Qmax and a qualitative urine analysis), and the clinical analysis of laboratory parameters including the serum PSA.

Statistical methods:

Primary analysis: The primary statistical analyses were based on the ITT population. Where IPSS values of the primary endpoint were missing, a progression of the last observed value was made (last observation carried forward, LOCF). As primary efficacy analysis, the IPSS responder rate between the treatment groups placebo and pumpkin seed extract were first compared using the bilateral Mantel-Haenszel- Test at the 0.05 level. The odds ratio including the 95% confidence interval was provided. The homogeneity of the odds ratio with regard to any centre effects was estimated by the Breslow-Day Test with Tarone adjustment. Only if this test was significant the responder rates between placebo and the pumpkin seed group were compared in a second step using the same procedure (due to the rejection of the null hypothesis in the first step). Independent of the outcome of this second test in the hierarchical hypotheses group, the test procedure ended with this test.

GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare GmbH & Co. KG Summary of the results and conclusions:

Demographic data and baseline characteristics

A total of 1488 patients were included and analysed in this clinical trial, 1431 of whom were randomised, 57 were not randomised, they dropped out in the run-in phase (run-in drop- outs). One randomised patient did not take any study medication, so that he was excluded from the ITT analysis. The ITT population comprised of 481 patients in the pumpkin seed extract group (Kürbissamen-Dickextrakt, KS-DE), 475 in the pumpkin seed (Kürbissamen, KS) and 474 in the placebo group (PB). In the safety population, 36.2% of patients under KS-DE vs. 38.7% under KS vs. 34.7% under PB showed at least one relevant violation of protocol, for which reason they were excluded from the PP population. The PP population consisted of 307, 291 and 310 patients randomised to KS-DE, KS and PB, respectively.

On average (mean ± SD), patients were 65.3  6.9 years of age (range: 45–82). The treatment groups were homogenous with regard to patient age (Kruskal-Wallis Test). In the randomised treatment groups, prostate volume, residual urine volume, peak urinary flow rate and micturition volume were almost identical, the BPH symptoms had existed on average for at least 4 years. The mean prostate volume was slightly increased with a total of 28.9  7.5 ml. The mean residual urine volume was 30.0 ml. The mean peak urinary flow rate was 9.7  2.5 ml/s at a micturition volume of 236  92 ml (total group). The urine analysis for protein, glucose and blood cells gave a negative result in at least 96% of the randomised patients per treatment group (safety population).

The mean baseline IPSS was in total 16.0 ± 2.0 points, which corresponded to moderately severe BPH symptoms. The mean IPSS-QoL at baseline was 3.5  0.7 points. The frequency of nocturia according to the micturition diary was on average 2.6  0.8 per night. The mean value of IPSS (Kruskal-Wallis Test), IPSS-QoL and the frequency of nocturia were almost identical at baseline in the 3 treatment groups (ITT- population).

Concomitant diseases were documented for 73.6% of patients. Almost half of all patients (42.2%) had accompanying diseases of the primary systemic organ class (SOC) "Vascular disorders". The SOC "Metabolism and nutrition disorders" was in 24.3%, "Cardiac disorders" in 15.2%, "Reproductive system and breast disorders" in a total of 14.8% of those affected; 11.1%, respectively, had accompanying diseases from the SOC’s "Gastrointestinal disorders" and "Renal and urinary disorders" (most frequently accompanying diseases at the Preferred Term (PT) level: "Renal cyst" [87 patients, 6.1%] and "Nephrolithiasis" [44 patients, 3.1%]). There were no relevant differences regarding prevalence of accompanying diseases in the treatment groups, neither at the level of the primary SOC’s, nor at the level of the PT’s (ITT population).

GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare GmbH & Co. KG Efficacy: The analysis of the primary efficacy parameter (IPSS responder rate after 12 months treatment) showed in the 1st step of the test procedure (PB vs. KS-DE) that 218 of 471 patients (46.3%) in the KS-DE group vs. 223 out of 467 patients (47.8%) in the PB group were IPSS responders after 12 months (last observation carried forward, LOCF), which corresponded to an odds ratio PB vs. KS-DE of 1.06 (p = 0.65, Mantel-Haenszel-2 Test). The null hypothesis could thus not be refuted, the proof of efficacy for KS-DE vs. PB in the double-blind comparison could not be provided.

The secondary descriptive sensitivity analyses in the PP population showed a numerically higher responder rate for KS-DE than for placebo (50.5% vs. 49.0%). In the results "as observed" (without carrying forward the last observation), the responder rate in the KS- DE group was more than 2% higher (52.2%) than in the PB group (49.8%); nevertheless, the difference was not significant. Based on the results of the 1st step of the test procedure, comparison of the IPSS responder rates with the KS group in the 2nd step was purely descriptive.

In the open KS group, both in the ITT population as well as in the PP population, a clearly higher IPSS responder rate could be achieved after 12 months treatment than in the other treatment groups. In the ITT population, 275 of 470 patients (58.5%) of the KS group achieved IPSS response (LOCF). Test centre effects with regard to the IPSS responder rate could neither be determined in the ITT nor in the PP population (Breslow-Day Test with Tarone adjustment). All results of the 2-step test procedure are presented for the ITT and the PP populations in Tables A and B.

The secondary efficacy parameters ( total IPSS, individual IPSS items, nocturia [micturition diary] and IPSS-QoL) showed that the most distinct improvement (reduction) was achieved early on within the first 3 months of treatment and the values had stabilised after approx. 9 months. Up to the end of treatment, the open KS-group recorded on average a distinctly stronger reduction than in the two blinded groups KS-DE and PB. Table C shows the results after 12 months for overall IPSS, nocturia [micturition diary] and IPSS-QoL for the ITT population; the results in the PP population were very similar.

The median length of study participation was the same in all 3 treatment groups (365 days). Between 9.5% (KS group) and 13.1% (KS-DE group) of the patients terminated the study prematurely. The most frequent reason for termination was insufficient efficacy, where the open KS group (9 p atients, 1.9%) numerically showed a somewhat lower termination rate due to insufficient efficacy than the two blinded treatment groups (KS-DE: 20 patients [4.2%], PB: 17 patients [3.6%]).

GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare GmbH & Co. KG Safety:

The mean duration of treatment was the shortest under KS-DE (337.7 ± 85.3 days) and the longest under KS (347.1 ± 73.5 days); under PB it lay at 340.8 ± 77.2 days between these two values. The median duration of treatment, however, was the same in all treatment groups: it amounted to 365 days (safety population). In total, 1265 patients (88.4%) completed the study regularly.

Only those events which occurred after the administration of the study medication were to be documented as adverse events (AE) according to the instructions in the study protocol.

During the randomised treatment phase a total of 439 AEs occurred in 284 patients (19.1%). In most patients, the AEs were at most of mild (123 patients) or moderate intensity (119 patients). At the end of the trial, the outcome was given as "recovered" for the large majority of events (272 events, 62.0%), in 58 events (13.2%), the patients were "recovering". In 87 events (19.8%) the outcome was "not recovered", of 14 events (3.2%) it was "recovered with sequelae", 5 events had a fatal outcome, thereof two events were reported for one patient approx. 3 months after his withdrawal from the trial, for 3 events (3.6%) there were no details concerning the outcome.

The primary reason for the withdrawal was, however, the subsequent PPD , which was correspondingly considered in the evaluation. ** Patient PPD died approx. 3 months after he had terminated the clinical trial due to another event PPD Within the scope of the follow-up process to this preceding event, 2 further events with fatal outcome were reported: PPD and PPD . Thus, a total of 5 fatal events with 4 deaths were included in the evaluation. KS = pumpkin seed; KS-DE = pumpkin seed extract; PB = Placebo.

The highest AE incidences were determined for AEs of the primary SOCs "Infections and infestations" (60 patients, 4.0%), "Gastrointestinal disorders" (55 patients, 3.7%), and "Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders" (39 patients, 2.6%), whereby no relevant differences resulted between the treatment groups. The highest AE incidence on the PT level resulted for: "Hypertension" (1.1%), "Prostatic specific antigen increased" (1.0%), "Back pain" (0.7%), "Nasopharyngitis" (0.7%), "Urinary tract infection" (0.7%), "Haematuria" (0.5%) and "Prostatitis" (0.5%). Also, the AE incidence in the 3 treatment groups was similar at the PT level.

The type and frequency of the AEs showed no particularities. They corresponded to the average age of the patients (65 years), which is associated with a high prevalence of accompanying diseases for this age group (mostly vascular, metabolic or musculoskeletal type), as well as a relatively long treatment period of 12 months.

In a total of 8 patients (0.5%), at least one AE occurred, for which the investigating physician assumed a possible connection with the study medication; this involved almost exclusively events of the SOC’s "Gastrointestinal disorders" (KS-DE: 2 patients [0.4%] vs. KS: 3 patients [0.6%] vs. PB: 3 patients [0.6%]), affected were the PTs "Nausea", "Abdominal pain upper", "Diarrhoea", "Flatulence" and "Stomach discomfort". In addition, a possible connection with the study medication was assumed in 1 case of "Aversion" (KS) and for 1 case of "Pruritus" (PB). In 3 patients, the severity of the AE was given as severe and the event was considered to be associated (2 cases of "Flatulence", both under KS, as well as 1 case of "Nausea" under PB).

A total of 64 patients (4.3%) experienced at least one serious AE (SAE), with the exception of cases of fatal outcome. The highest SUE incidence was found in the primary SOCs "Cardiac disorders" (11 patients, 0.7%) and "Injury, poisoning and procedural complications" (10 patients, 0.7%). There were no relevant differences between the treatment groups with regard to the SAE incidence. Urological (ad hoc) SAEs were "Calcus urinary", "Renal colic", "Prostatitis" and "Prostate cancer"1 (1 patient for each, all KS-DE). There were no occurrences of SAE with a suspected causal association to the study medication.

PPD

AEs, which led to discontinuation of treatment and occurred in ≥ 1 patient were "Abdominal pain upper" (1 patient KS-DE, 1 patient KS), "Nausea" (1 patient KS-DE, 1 patient KS, 2 patients PB), "Cerebrovascular accident" (1 patient KS-DE, 1 patient PB), "Myocardial infarction" (1 patient KS, 1 patient PB), "Pancreatitis acute" (1 patient KS-DE, 1 patient KS) and "Stomach discomfort" (2 patients PB).

Laboratory values: During the 13-month study phase, neither the average change in haematological laboratory parameters nor the average change in laboratory parameters for clinical chemistry were of any clinical relevance: the average PSA value increased minimally in all 3 groups (0.1 ng/ml under KS-DE and KS; 0.2 ng/ml under PB). Also, the average vital parameters were unchanged.

1 This patient (PPD had been diagnosed with PPD shortly after being enrolled in the trial and terminated the study prematurely due to this event. The primary reason for dropping out, however, was the subsequent PPD

Urological examination:

The peak urinary flow rate, Qmax increased on average in all treatment groups (3.6 ± 6.3 ml/s under KS-DE and PB, 4.3 ± 6.8 ml/s under KS), the median residual urine volume remained unchanged. The mean prostate volume increased minimally, whereby the median increase under PB (2.0 ml) was somewhat greater than under active treatment (1.0 ml each). In a few patients, changes in the parameters for the urine analysis (protein, glucose, blood cells) were observed, the incidence of which was similar across the treatment groups.

Conclusion:

In this 3-arm, partially blinded, randomised, multi-centre clinical trial with a 12-month treatment period in patients suffering from moderately severe BPH symptoms, it was not possible to demonstrate the efficacy of a pumpkin seed extract (500 mg pumpkin seed extract) versus placebo in the double-blind comparison. IPSS responder rates of pumpkin seed extract vs. placebo showed no significant difference. Due to the 2-step design of the study, the confirmatory proof of efficacy for pumpkin seed was similarly therefore also not possible, although the IPSS-responder rate of the pumpkin seed group was approx. 10% higher than placebo. Testing at the descriptive level led to a p-value of < 0.01, with a confidence interval for the odds ratio of [0.50 – 0.84]. According to the WHO Consensus Criteria, the improvements in both “active substance” groups are within the range of the "fair" response, whereby in the case of the pumpkin seed group they came close to a "good" response. Clinical improvement (IPSS, frequency of nocturia and IPSS-QoL) was shown in all 3 treatment groups, whereby at descriptive level the pumpkin seed group treated openly in parallel was distinctly superior to the two blinded groups pumpkin seed extract and placebo; only slight numerical differences could be established between the latter two groups. The incidence of adverse events was at the placebo level in both active substance groups. Only individual adverse events arose which the investigating physician assumed to be connected to the trial medication, of which none was serious. These events were almost exclusively all of a gastrointestinal nature. The parameters prostate volume, peak urinary flow rate Qmax and residual urinary volume confirm the safety of the phytotherapy. Both treatments with pumpkin seed as well as that with pumpkin seed extract were safe and well tolerated.

Date of the Report: The final report of the study was prepared on 28th May 2010.
