Inclusion criteria

Main IC:

  • Subject signed prior to the performance of any study procedures.
  • Male with BPH, who are at least 50 years of age and that were diagnosed with BOO.
  • IPSS symptom severity score ≥ 10.
  • Peak urinary flow of \< 12 ml/sec
  • No pathology found with kidney US
  • Prostatic urethra length \< 30 mm
  • Prostate volume \< 35 cc
  • Normal Urinalysis and urine culture.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Main EC:

  • Any prior prostate treatment
  • Suspected or proved carcinoma of prostate
  • Urethral stricture
  • Urinary bladder stones
  • Serum prostate specific antigen level > 4 ng/ml (unless proved to be carcinoma free by ).
  • Active urinary tract infection as determined by positive culture, bacterial prostatitis within the past year documented by positive culture.
  • Median prostatic lobe enlargement or a prominent obstructing "ball valve" prostatic lobe.
  • Subject has an interest in future fertility and is not willing to undergo fertility treatments whatsoever.
  • Any serious medical condition likely to impede successful completion of the study

Intraoperative EC:

  • Irregular findings by the implanting physician during the implantation procedure by the cystoscopy that to the best of the implanting physician are exerting non compliance with the exclusion or inclusion criteria and that were not noticed previously during screening
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Device related and unanticipated SAE

    Device related and unanticipated SAEs will be followed. No such SAEs are expected.

    Time frame: At 3 months

Secondary outcomes

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 21, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
