Single-arm, prospective study assessing semen quality after treatment with the Optilume Urethral DCB in men between 22 and 65 years of age.

Read the detailed description

Male subject diagnosed with a stricture in the anterior urethra that can be treated with the Optilume Urethral DCB. Thirty-Four (34) subjects will be enrolled at up to ten (10) sites in the United States. Clinical follow-up will be conducted at 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-treatment evaluating Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS), sexual function, and voiding function. Semen quality parameters will be assessed at Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months post-treatment. Subjects with an abnormal semen quality result at 6 months will have an additional assessment at 12 months post-treatment and periodically thereafter until results return to normal.
