Study of a new device for enlarged prostate symptoms
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device designed to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH), such as frequent or difficult urination. It may help improve urine flow and reduce discomfort without traditional surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a man aged 45 to 80 years
- Have a diagnosis of enlarged prostate (BPH)
- Have a prostate size between 40 and 100 cc (as measured by MRI)
- Have a low urine flow rate (Qmax of 10 mL/s or less, measured twice)
- Have moderate to severe urinary symptoms (IPSS score greater than 12)
- Be willing to stop taking BPH medications for a period before the procedure (if applicable)

This trial tests a device called Optilume BPH Catheter System for men with enlarged prostate that causes bothersome urinary symptoms. It aims to see how safe and effective it is in real-world use, offering a possible treatment for blocked urine flow without surgery.
This trial tests a new device that uses pulsed electric fields to shrink an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH). It's for men who have tried medication but still have bothersome symptoms.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures that remove extra prostate tissue to help with urination problems. It may help if other treatments haven't worked.
This trial tests a new way to treat an enlarged prostate using water vapor (steam) to shrink the tissue. It aims to improve urine flow and reduce symptoms without more invasive surgery.
This trial tests a new device called the FloStent, a small tube placed in the urine channel to help men with an enlarged prostate pee more easily. It's for men who have moderate to severe symptoms and haven't had prostate surgery before.
This study tests a newer ultrasound-guided method for a prostate lift procedure, which may improve urine flow and reduce symptoms in men with an enlarged prostate. It is an exploratory trial, meaning researchers are checking how well the new approach works compared to the usual method.
