Study summary

Prospective, single-arm, single-site, post-market device study; all procedures use Veloxion™ per IFU.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to prospectively evaluate the operational efficiency and safety of the Veloxion™ disposable resectoscope system when used for endoscopic surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Subjects will be followed up on 2 weeks (phone/clinic) and 1 month, (phone/clinic, safety assessments, device-related AEs, reinterventions, usability feedback).

Interventions

  • ProcedureTURP using the Aulea Veloxion™ Disposable Resectoscope System

    TURP will be performed by Aulea Veloxion™ Disposable Resectoscope System. The resectoscopes are single-use and ensure consistent quality and no cross-contamination. The automated fluid management system continuously monitors and manages intravesical pressure while actively evacuating tissue to prevent clogging. The active power generation system optimize plasma generation for effective resection and extended equipment life. This system allows transurethral resection of prostate to be performed in a motorized and highly effective manner. This study is designed to prospectively characterize operational efficiency in real-world BPH resections using the cleared device platform.

  • DeviceAulea Veloxion™ Disposable Resectoscope System

    Veloxion™ platform disposable resectoscope is FDA-cleared for treatment of BPH. It is an all-in-one, platform that combines fluid control, video pipeline and energy generator. The resectoscopes are single-use and ensure consistent quality and no cross-contamination. The automated fluid management system continuously monitors and manages intravesical pressure while actively evacuating tissue to prevent clogging. The active power generation system optimize plasma generation for effective resection and extended equipment life. This system allows transurethral resection of prostate to be performed in a motorized and highly effective manner. This study is designed to prospectively characterize operational efficiency in real-world BPH resections using the cleared device platform.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Difference in total procedure time versus a pre-specified benchmark

    Derived from historical standard reusable resectoscope TURP/TURP-like procedures at the same site, tested against a superiority margin

    Time frame: Perioperative

  2. Difference in case cost versus a pre-specified benchmark

    Derived from historical standard reusable resectoscope TURP/TURP-like procedures at the same site, tested against a superiority margin

    Time frame: Perioperative

Secondary outcomes

  1. Total Resection time

    The cumulative electrosurgery activation time (minutes) from generator logs and video annotation.

    Time frame: Intra-operative

  2. The Instrument exchanges time

    The count and cumulative time with scope out-of-field; standardized categories (loop, electrode, sheath, camera).

    Time frame: Intra-operative

  3. The Visibility score

    Assessed by the surgeon-rated 5-point Likert per 15-minute epoch; total irrigation volume; number of bag exchanges; "red-out" events.

    Time frame: Intra-operative

  4. Adverse event

    By "Clavien-Dindo Classification"

    Time frame: Within post-operative 30 days

  5. The cost per case

    equipment, facility, consumables, device, reprocessing, repair, maintenance, rental (if applicable), staff cost to perform the surgery

    Time frame: Intra-operative

  6. Staff usability scores

    By OR nurse and scrub tech 5-point Likert for setup ease, troubleshooting, case flow.

    Time frame: Intra-operative

  7. Total procedure time

    The time from scope insertion to final scope removal (minutes) from OR time logs/video time stamps.

    Time frame: intra-operative

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedDate before it movedWhere the date was before it movedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Oct 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2027, 8 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 8 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.

Start moved once since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026: Jul 2026 → Oct 2026, on Oct 27, 2026.

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.
