About

Prostatitis is the most common urologic diagnosis in men under the age of 50 and the third most common diagnosis in older men. In Chronic Prostatitis (CP) or Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS), men have lower urinary tract symptoms, pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction and decreased quality of life. Little is known about the cause of CP/CPPS. Likewise, no definitive therapy exists for CP/CPPS. We plan to study the use of CC-10004 in men with CP/CPPS.

Full description

Prostatitis is the most common urologic diagnosis in men under the age of 50 and the third most common diagnosis in older men. In Chronic Prostatitis (CP) or Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS), men have lower urinary tract symptoms, pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction and decreased quality of life.

Little is known about the cause of CP/CPPS. Likewise, no definitive therapy exists for CP/CPPS. Unlike bacterial prostatitis, where a clear infecting organism can be determined, CP/CPPS is not always treated with antibiotics.

Due to the significant inflammatory nature of CP/CPPS, most prior therapies have focused on targeting the inflammation. CC-10004 in several studies has shown to be an inhibitor of inflammatory mediators, and may decrease the pain experienced from CP/CPPS.

  • Hemoglobin > 9 g/dL
  • Hematocrit ≥ 27%
  • White blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 3000 /mL (≥ 3.0 X 109/L) and < 20,000/mL (< 20 X 109/L)
  • Platelets ≥ 100,000 /mL (≥ 100 X 109/L)

Exclusion criteria

• Subjects who are female.
• Subjects with a documented positive urine culture within the past three months

• Subjects with known bladder or ureteral calculi
• Subjects unable to complete a voiding diary

• Any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study
• History of active Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (any subspecies) within 3 years prior to the screening visit. Infections that occurred > 3 years prior to entry must have been effectively treated.
• Positive Tuberculin skin test (Mantoux test)
• Clinically significant abnormality on the chest x-ray (CXR) at screening
• Any clinically significant abnormality on 12-lead ECG at screening
• Use of any investigational medication within 28 days prior to randomization or 5 half-lives if known (whichever is longer)

• Subjects currently taking chemotherapeutic agents
• Positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, or hepatitis C laboratory test result indicating active infection at screening.
