Stone and laser therapies study for urinary tract or BPH treatment
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial is for people who are planning to have a procedure for urinary tract stones or an enlarged prostate (BPH) using Boston Scientific devices. Researchers want to see how well these treatments work in real-world use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning a procedure for urinary stones or an enlarged prostate
- Your doctor will use a Boston Scientific device for your procedure
- You are at least 40 years old if being treated for an enlarged prostate
- You are willing to come back for all follow-up visits
- You are not having surgery for both stones and enlarged prostate at the same time

This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for treating an enlarged prostate: one uses a laser (holmium enucleation) and the other uses a robotic water jet. The goal is to see which treatment better improves urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate.
This study compares two types of lasers (a new super-pulsed thulium fiber laser vs. the standard holmium laser) used during a scope procedure to break up kidney and upper ureter stones. If you have stones between 10 and 25 mm and are scheduled for ureteroscopic surgery, this trial may help determine which laser works better.
This study compares two types of laser treatments used during a minimally invasive procedure to break up kidney stones. You would be randomly assigned to receive one of the two lasers to help doctors understand which works better for stone removal.
This trial studies whether some people can avoid getting a ureteral stent after ureteroscopy and lithotripsy for a kidney stone. It may help reduce stent-related discomfort while still keeping outcomes safe for the stone problem.
This trial tests a new device that combines a laser and a suction sheath to break up and remove kidney or ureter stones. It may help people with stones between 6mm and 20mm who are scheduled for a specific type of stone surgery.
This trial is testing a new type of temporary tube (stent) that dissolves on its own after being placed in the ureter following kidney stone surgery. It looks at how safe and well the stent works to keep the ureter open while healing.
