Water vapor therapy for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses water vapor (steam) to shrink an enlarged prostate. It may help men with bothersome urinary symptoms who have not had other prostate procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 45 and 80 years old.
- You have moderate to severe urinary symptoms (IPSS score of 13 or higher).
- Your prostate is between 30 and 80 cubic centimeters (about the size of a walnut to a small plum) on MRI.
- Your peak urine flow rate is 15 mL/s or less with a good volume (at least 125 mL).
- The amount of urine left in your bladder after peeing is 250 mL or less.
- You have not had any prior prostate surgery, such as laser, microwave, or stent placement.
