A study of the Beacon platform for laser prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new tool (the Beacon Platform) that helps doctors perform a type of laser surgery for an enlarged prostate, called HoLEP. The goal is to see if it makes the surgery easier and more effective, which could help you urinate better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be male and at least 45 years old.
- You need to have urinary symptoms or trouble emptying your bladder because of an enlarged prostate.
- Your prostate must be between 30 and 120 cc, based on a recent scan (ultrasound, MRI, or CT).
- You should not have had previous prostate surgery, such as TURP, laser treatment, or a prostate lift.
- You must be able to stop blood thinners (except low-dose aspirin) for a few days before the procedure.
- You must not have prostate or bladder cancer, and your BMI should be 35 or less.

This study compares two different laser techniques (HoLEP and ThuLEP) for treating an enlarged prostate that's causing urinary symptoms. Both are minimally invasive surgical options; the trial will help determine which works better for symptom relief.
This study compares three different laser techniques used to remove excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow. The goal is to find which laser is safest and most effective, potentially leading to better symptom relief and shorter recovery.
This trial tests a new surgical platform called Beacon during HoLEP, a common procedure to treat enlarged prostate symptoms. It may help men with difficulty urinating due to an enlarged prostate.
This study looks at whether the amount of prostate tissue removed during a laser procedure called HoLEP can predict how much your urinary symptoms improve. It may help doctors better plan and personalize treatment for enlarged prostate.
This study looks at how well a specific laser surgery (HoLEP) works for men with an enlarged prostate, and what factors might predict a successful outcome. If you are considering surgery for an enlarged prostate, this trial may help doctors understand who benefits most.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgical treatments for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). One uses a laser to remove prostate tissue; the other uses a high-speed water jet. The goal is to see which works better for relieving urinary symptoms with fewer side effects.
