An interventional study of Urolift in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, sponsored by Northwell Health. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to male participants aged 50 Years to 99 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-29.

Many patients may face long-term urinary side effects following stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), including increased urinary frequency, dysuria, and nocturia. The investigator hypothesizes that Urolift, which represents a novel minimally invasive therapy, may reduce acute and long-term urinary toxicity and side effects of radiation therapy (SBRT).
Urolift is a standard of care treatment for BPH. It involves the placement of a stainless-steel urethral end piece tethered to a capsular tab to the left and right side of the prostatic urethra approximately 1.5cm distal to the bladder neck. It pulls and maintains the opening of a continuous channel through the prostatic urethra. A previous study examined the effect of Urolift on urinary symptoms and urinary medications at six months post-procedure.Urolift was associated with significant urinary improvements measured by IPSS and quality of life questionnaires and a reduction in the use of total medication as well as alpha-blockers and beta-3 agonists.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
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.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

This is a single-arm study involving 1 year of follow-up. Study intervention involves a one-time administration of Urolift prior to SBRT for prostate cancer treatment.
Device: Urolift
Study intervention involves a one-time administration of Urolift in out-patient setting prior to Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
Change in IPSS scores from baseline and one year post treatment
Patients will take a International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire to evaluate symptom severity at baseline and 1 year post treatment. IPSS scores range from 1 to 35, with 1-7 indicating mild symptoms, 8-19 indicating moderate symptoms, 20-35 indicating severe symptoms.
Time frame: At baseline and one year post treatment
Change in IIEF score through study completion, an average of 1 year
Patient will take the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) to evaluate changes in sexual function of patients through study completion, an average of 1 year. IIEF scores range from 6 to 30. IIEF lower scores indicate severe erectile dysfunction, while higher scores indicate mild/no erectile dysfunction.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Change in MSHQ through study completion, an average of 1 year
Patients will take the Men's sexual health questionnaire (MSHQ) to further evaluate patients' ability to have sex with their partner(s) or masturbate through study completion, an average of 1 year. Overall, study subjects will be assessed for possible change in hypogonadal, sexual function, and pain symptoms. Scores range from 16 to 125. Lower scores are considered most symptomatic, higher scores are least symptomatic.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Change in VAS score through study completion, an average of 1 year
Patients will use a visual analog scale (VAS) to describe their pain through study completion, an average of 1 year, to see if there is any changes in pain post treatment. Self-assessed maximum pain reported using a 0-100mm visual analog scale, where 100 signifies maximum pain and 0 signifies no pain.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Change in OAB-SF score through study completion, an average of 1 year
Patients will use a overactive bladder short form (OAB-SF) to describe their overactive bladder symptoms through study completion, an average of 1 year, to see if there is any changes in symptoms. The OAB-q SF has 2 main subscales: Symptom bother and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL). The two subscales are summed separately and transformed into scores ranging from 0 to 100. A higher score on the symptom bother scale indicates a greater symptom severity and a higher score on the HRQOL scale indicates a better HRQOL, so they are inversely related to each other. Since the OAB-q SF has no total score, higher scores indicate more severe symptoms or better quality of life, respectively. Lower scores indicate less severe symptoms or worse quality of life respectively.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Change in SF-12 score through study completion, an average of 1 year
Patients will use a short form 12 (SF-12) survey to measure their quality of life through study completion, an average of 1 year, to see if there is any changes. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental health functioning. A score of 50 or less on the PCS-12 has been recommended as a cut-off to determine a physical condition; while a score of 42 or less on the MCS-12 may be indicative of 'clinical depression'.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Change in medication usage through study completion, an average of 1 year
Patients will list their medication usage through study completion, an average of 1 year to see if there is any changes in medications after the study treatment
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Started Feb 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2027, 19 months after the start.
Of 152 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Prostatic Hyperplasia, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 48. This study's planned 19 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 203 studies reached it within 26 months; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 48.
Since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026, the dates moved once, on Sep 29, 2026: start Dec 2021 → Feb 2026 and primary completion Jun 2027 → Sep 2027.
