An interventional study of ALPFA BPH PFA System in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, sponsored by ALPFA Medical. Enrolling by invitation at 4 sites in 3 countries. Open to male participants aged 45 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-06-25.
Sponsored by ALPFA Medical · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The ALPFA Medical BPH Pilot Study is a prospective, open label, single arm pilot study to assess the use of the ALPFA BPH PFA System in the treatment of men over the age of 45 with obstructive urinary symptoms associated with BPH.
Male subjects will be consented and undergo protocol-defined baseline assessments. Those who meet study entry criteria will be enrolled and treated with the ALPFA BPH PFA System and then undergo follow-up with protocol-defined assessment.
827 studies on the registry are indexed under Prostatic Hyperplasia; 179 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 100 is close to the median of 92 across 626 interventional studies indexed under Prostatic Hyperplasia.

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.
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.
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.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.
Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.
Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
