Abstract
The therapeutic efficacy for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is currently
unsatisfactory. The aim of the present study was to assess the safety and efficacy of pollen extract in
association with vitamins (DEPROX 500®) in males with CP/CPPS. All patients with a diagnosis of
CP/CPPS attending the same urologic centre between March and October 2012 were enrolled in this
randomised controlled phase III study. Participants were randomised to receive oral capsules of DEPROX
500® (two capsules every 24 h) or ibuprofen (600 mg, one tablet three times a day) for four weeks. The
National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI), International Prostate
Symptom Score and Quality of Well-Being (QoL) questionnaires were used. In the intention-to-treat
analysis, 87 males (25 class IIIa and 62 class IIIb) with a mean age of 33.6±5.9 years were randomly
allocated to the DEPROX 500® (n=41) or ibuprofen (n=46) treatment groups. At the follow-up
examination (following one month of treatment), in the DEPROX 500® group, 31/41 patients (75.6%)
reported an improvement in quality of life, defined as a reduction of the NIH-CPSI total score by ≥25%,
compared with 19/46 (41.3%) in the control group (P=0.002). The greater improvement in the DEPROX
500® group compared with the ibuprofen group was statistically significant (treatment difference in the
NIH-CPSI pain domain, -2.14±0.51, P<0.001; QoL scores, P=0.002). All patients were negative at the
Meares-Stamey test evaluation. Adverse events were less frequent in the DEPROX 500® group than in
the ibuprofen group. The DEPROX 500® treatment significantly improved total symptoms, pain and
quality of life compared with ibuprofen in patients with CP/CPPS, without severe side-effects.
