Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Hyperplasia"

The goal of this clinical study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of the Neuflo System for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The main questions it aims to answer are: Can treatment with the Neuflo System lead to at least a 30% improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to BPH, as measured by the international prostate symptom score (IPSS) at 3 months after treatment which is sustained for 12 months? Is treatment with the Neuflo System tolerable to the patient, as measured by visual analog score (VAS) for pain before and after treatment and procedural medication requirements? Is treatment with the Neuflo System safe, as measured by the incidence and severity of device or procedural related serious adverse events. Participants will be enrolled in the study over a 6 month period. Each participant will be treated with the Neuflo System and assessed at 3 and 12 months following treatment. A subgroup of patients will have an MRI at baseline (prior to treatment), and 1 and 3 months following treatment to assess the volume and location of ablated tissue. The duration of the study is expected to be 18 months.

The aim of this pilot study is to analyze the feasibility of prostatic embolization for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy with a non adhesive liquid embolic agent (Squid)

To document the clinical outcome of Rezūm therapy for BPH patient in Canadian cohort.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men that is frequently associated with troublesome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) which can be divided into storage phase symptoms (urinary frequency, urinary urgency, increased nocturia, urinary incontinence, etc.), voiding phase symptoms (interruption of urination, thinning of the urine line, straining to urinate, etc.), and post-void symptoms (incomplete sensation of urination, dribbling after urination, etc.).BPH is prevalent in as many as 40% of men in their fifties and 90% of men in their eighties.Yet, few effective therapiesare available for treating BPH/LUTS. Acupuncture may be an effective treatment option for BPH/LUTS.However, effects of acupuncture on BPH/LUTS remain uncertain because of the small sample sizes or other methodological limitations. The objective of this randomized,conventional electroacupuncture-controlled trial is to assess the effectiveness of electroacupuncture at'four sacral points'for relieving symptoms of BPH/LUTS. The results will provide a robust conclusion with a highlevel of evidence.

This registry study aims to collect data on efficacy and safety of different treatments of benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) and lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH-LUTS).

Prostatic urethral lift (Urolift) has been developed as a minimally invasive alternative to transurethral resection of the prostate with no need of general anaesthesia, less need of urinary catheter and less exposure to post-operative complication. Its efficacy and safety have been assessed by 2 clinical randomized trials with evidence of urinary symptom improvement remaining inferior to TURP but durable for 5 years. Urolift preserved overall quality of life better than TURP. Urolift has been recommended by the European Association of Urology guidelines and recognized by French authorities but cannot be financed by the hospital itself. Reimbursement of the implants by healthcare system is therefore needed for the distribution of Urolift in France. The additional cost of the implants could be compensated by a reduced length of hospital stay and a lower rate of post-operative complications inducing healthcare expenditures. This study aims to assess if Urolift could be a cost-effective therapeutic strategy compared to transurethral surgery with 2 phases design: a field study comparing patients treated with Urolift to those treated with TURP/laser during 1 year follow-up, and an additional study comparing healthcare consumptions during 3 years follow-up between each group using data of the French National Claims Database (SNDS database).

This study compares safety and efficacy of prostatic artery embolization and pharmacotherapy in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated wit benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This is a Phase II prospective clinical trial in which patients with prostate carcinoma and obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms electing for radiation therapy will undergo Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) prior to treatment. PAE will be administered by Interventional Radiology. Patients will be seen for follow-up at 6 weeks and 12 weeks following PAE after which they will start definitive radiotherapy. After completion of radiotherapy the patient will be seen at 12 weeks

The investigator aims to prospectively investigate the efficacy and durability of the middle lobe only versus traditional complete photoselective greenlight vaporization of the prostate in patients with prominent middle lobe. The investigator will select patients based on pre-op cystoscopy if patients have a prominent middle lobe to participate in this study. Researches will start to vaporize only the middle lobe then, at the end of this step, The investigator will look at the verumontanum into the prostatic fossa and determine if the patient is having adequate opened prostatic fossa or not. Patients with unsatisfactory opened fossa will have a complete PVP of lateral lobes, while patients with a satisfactory channel will not receive a complete PVP. Primary objectives of the study are to look into pre and post-operative uroflowmetry and post-void residual, International prostate symptoms scores, need of catheterization, and need for secondary interventions over five then ten years. Secondary objectives are to look into erectile and ejaculatory status using the Male Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ) and MSHQ-EjD Short Form for Assessing EjD. Researchers will follow the patients at three months, six months, one year then yearly for five years then an extension to up to 10 years.

This is a prospective data registry to assess the treatment outcomes and complications of different treatment approaches in our hospital clusters.
