Comparing two treatments for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two minimally invasive devices (iTind and UroLift) to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It is for men whose symptoms are bothersome enough to need treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 50 or older.
- You have troublesome urinary symptoms (score of 13 or higher on a symptom questionnaire).
- Your prostate is not too large (up to 75 cc on imaging).
- Your urine flow rate is between 5 and 15 mL per second.
- Your PSA level is under 4 ng/mL, or if between 4-10, cancer has been ruled out.
- You can stop certain medications (like alpha blockers, finasteride, or daily ED drugs) before the procedure.
