Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Hyperplasia"

The study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture among men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), compared with sham electroacupuncture.

A study to evaluate the safety, performance, and effectiveness of the ProVee Urethral Expander System (Investigational Device) when used in subjects with symptomatic urinary obstruction related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

The study objective is to compare water vapor thermotherapy with the REZŪM™ System to dual drug therapy for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia refractory to alpha-blocker monotherapy in sexually active men.

The study is being conducted to learn why some patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) do not respond to a commonly used treatment drug, Finasteride. The hope is to find ways to predict which patients will not respond to Finasteride so that, in the future, these patients can be identified prior to offering this treatment and they can be offered alternative treatment strategies in its place. The aim is to see if noninvasive techniques such as MRI can detect inflammation of the prostate to assist with early detection of those who will and who will not respond to Finasteride.

To evaluate efficacy and safety of garcinia extract + chromium combinations (Chromax) in symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy patients

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases in men. As BPH progresses, surgical treatments often become necessary. Holmium enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is an established procedure in the surgical treatment of BPH, especially for medium to large prostates. The long learning curve, the length of surgery, and expensive equipment still limit the availability of HoLEP to a few specialized centers. Recently, a new method for treating BPH called aquablation has become commercially available. This technique uses real-time ultrasound imaging in combination with a robotic high-pressure water jet programmed and guided by the surgeon to resect prostate tissue. A RCT has shown functional results similar to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for small to medium size prostates . However, so far there are no controlled studies assessing whether Aquablation provides patient reported and functional outcomes that are non-inferior compared to HoLEP in medium size to large prostates (the latter cannot be operated by TURP due to its size limitations). As aquablation offers some obvious advantages compared to HoLEP regarding learning curve and operation time, the aim of this study is to test whether efficacy and safety of aquablation are non- inferior compared to HoLEP in patients with medium to large size prostates, which would clearly support the use of aquablation and change everyday clinical practice.

The investigators compare the efficacy of alpha-blocker and 5-ARI withdrawal to continued combination therapy on the maintenance of LUTS and improvement of quality of life outcomes in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This is a prospective, two-stage, multi-center, pilot clinical study to evaluate the safety/tolerability/efficacy of the Omega System device. The Omega arc-shaped implant is inserted by the Omega delivery system into the prostate tissue of subjects to relieve lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The study will first evaluate the Omega system on patients undergoing prostatectomy, which is not indicated for the device.

Comparing the peri-operative outcomes in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who will undergo bipolar enucleation of the prostate versus thulium laser enucleation.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the performance and safety of the AQUABEAM Robotic System for the resection and removal of prostate tissue in patients experiencing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and are diagnosed with localized prostate cancer. Participants will go through baseline and follow up assessments up to 12 months.
