Active clinical trials for "Hyperplasia"

To investigate the efficacy of weight management plus levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) or megestrol acetate (MA) in obese patients with endometrial atypical hyperplasia (EAH) asking for conservative therapy.

Primary end points: This clinical trial is aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine System (LNG-IUS, Mirena®) in the fertility-sparing treatment of atypical endometrial hyperplasia and early endometrial carcinoma, including pathology response and pregnancy outcome. Second end points: To analyze the appearances of side-effects.

Enucleation of the prostate equips technology (usually laser) to effectively treat lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). The holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho: YAG) laser is considered the gold standard laser used to perform enucleation of the prostate. Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) reduces hospital stay and hemoglobin drop while improving International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and quality of life, as well as other postoperative outcomes. HoLEP has been found to have a better enucleation efficiency rate and may have better hemostatic properties when combined with the modulated pulsed laser energy featured associated with Moses technology (m-HoLEP). A novel laser technology called thulium fiber laser (TFL) delivers a pulsed laser at a more optimal wavelength and a shallower depth of tissue penetration leading to better hemostatic properties. However, the differences in clinical outcomes between TFL enucleation of the prostate (TFLEP) and m-HoLEP have yet to be described. This prospective study aims to compare the safety profile and clinical outcomes, peri-operatively up to one year post-operatively, between m-HoLEP and TFLEP with BPH and evidence of bladder obstruction.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a frequent cause of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men. One fourth of men older than 70 have moderate to severe LUTS that impair their quality of life (QOL). Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) is a new minimally invasive technique proven effective in reducing LUTS comparable to the mainstay treatment - the transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The most common side effect of PAE is a collection of inflammation-related symptoms known as the postembolization syndrome (PES). The symptoms include pelvic pain, fever, nausea, and transient worsening of LUTS (painful and difficult urination). PES is a self-limiting condition that is treated symptomatically with painkillers and antipyretics. However, PES can be so severe that the patients experience high fever, shivers, dysuria and urgency mimicking a septicemia from the urinary tract. It is a clinical challenge to avoid exposure to unnecessary antibiotics treatment in those situations. A subset of patients may need admission to the hospital for observation, especially in case of fever. Usually, PES resolves within a week after PAE. Steroids have been successfully used to reduce the incidence and severity of PES after a number of procedures in interventional radiology. The investigators postulate that steroids can have a similar effect in reducing PES after PAE. In this study, the efficacy of single high dose postprocedural dexamethasone (DEXA) administration in reducing PES after PAE will be evaluated, compared to placebo.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, places pressure on the urethra and causes urination and bladder problems. Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) remains the gold standard treatment in most centres for BPH. However, morbidity after TURP is high, especially bleeding requiring blood transfusion and late postoperative bleeding. Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a safe and effective procedure which has demonstrated comparable results to TURP. HOLEP also offers patients the alternative of being treated endoscopically with minimal blood loss, short catheterization time, and decreased hospital stay. The main reason HoLEP has yet to become the new standard for treatment of symptomatic BPH is due the complexity of this procedure as compared to TURP. Furthermore, the HoLEP can be used with the MOSESTM system, a system that allows for more efficiency and ease of use of the HoLEP. Thulium fiber laser (TFL) enucleation of the prostate is an emerging technology for endoscopic prostate enucleation that is notable for its high wavelength and pulsed mode of action. Recent studies have shown TFL enucleation of the prostate to be a safe and highly efficacious treatment modality for the management of large volume (> 80 cm3) glands in BPH. Due to its novelty, further studies are needed to broaden the investigators' understanding of the TFL and comprehend the full implications and benefits of this new technology, as well its limitations. The aim of this study is to whether Thulium Fiber laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuFLEP) and Holmium laser enucleation using MOSES™ (M-HoLEP) have comparable length of hospital stay, as well as intraoperative and postoperative outcomes.

The TUMT-PAE-1 trial is a randomised clinical trial aiming to compare the effectiveness of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) with prostatic artery embolisation (PAE) in reducing urinary symptoms caused by prostate gland enlargement. The assessment will be done by patient reported and functional outcome measures. The primary purpose is to evaluate the urinary symptoms six months after the procedure, measured by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS).

This study focuses on the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia which causes lower urinary tract symptoms. The purpose of the research project is to evaluate PAE in terms of both medical and health economic outcomes. To evaluate whether there are any differences in effect (IPSS), complications, costs and perceived quality of life compared with TUR-P.
