About this study

This is a post-marketing study for using Optilume Catheter System, which is a Dilation Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) Catheter, to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. Participants will go through screening process which include uroflow test (measure the strength of urine flow), post-void residual volume by bladder scan, questionnaires and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) to determine the eligibility to the study. Participants will be followed up for 1 year after Optilume treatment procedure.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male subject with symptomatic BPH NOTE: Symptomatic BPH is defined as an International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥ 13 and peak urinary flow rate (Qmax) of ≤15 mL/sec
  • Prostate dimensions suitable for treatment with the Optilume BPH Catheter System in accordance with the approved Instructions for Use NOTE: Prostate volume between 20 to 80 gm and prostatic urethral length between 32 mm and 55 mm as determined by TRUS
  • Able to complete the study protocol in the opinion of the investigator

Exclusion criteria

  • Unable or unwilling to sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF) and/or comply with follow-up requirements
  • Unwilling to abstain from sexual intercourse or use a condom for 30 days post-procedure and a highly effective contraceptive for at least 6 months post-procedure
  • Presence of an artificial urinary sphincter or stent(s) in the urethra or prostate
  • Any prior minimally invasive intervention (e.g. TUNA, Balloon, Microwave, Rezūm, UroLift) or surgical intervention of the prostate
  • Confirmed or suspected malignancy of prostate or bladder
  • Active urinary tract infection (UTI) confirmed by culture
  • History of overt urinary incontinence requiring use of pads NOTE: Pad usage for post-micturition dribble is acceptable
  • Presence of confounding diagnoses impacting lower urinary tract symptoms or bladder function (e.g. urethral strictures, bladder neck contracture, neurogenic bladder, detrusor instability, bladder stones, etc.)
  • History of chronic urinary retention (e.g. PVR ≥300mL on two separate occasions, or catheter dependent drainage)
  • Anatomy (e.g. presence of false passage or size of meatus) is not suitable for treatment with the Optilume BPH Catheter System
  • Significant obstruction from median lobe in the opinion of the investigator
  • Disease or other health condition that is not suitable for this study

Treatment and study plan

Optilume Catheter System

Device

Optilume Catheter System, which is a Dilation Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) Catheter

Primary outcomes

  1. Efficacy: Responder Rate at 12 months

    Time frame: 12 months post treatment

    ≥30% improvement in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) score without the need of an additional surgical or minimally invasive procedure. IPSS score ranges from 0-35 (higher score means worse symptoms)

  2. Safety (adverse events)

    Time frame: Within 12 months post treatment

    Frequency and severity of treatment related adverse events will be reported using the Clavien-Dindo severity grading system.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in IPSS & IPSS QoL (questionnaire)

    Time frame: 12 months post treatment

    IPSS & IPSS QoL questionnaire

  2. Change in Qmax (maximum flow rate)

    Time frame: 12 months post treatment

    Uroflow to measure maximum flow rate

  3. Change in PVR (post-void residual)

    Time frame: 12 months post treatment

    Bladder scanner to measure post-void residual

  4. Change in sexual function (International Index of Erectile Function, IIEF questionnaire)

    Time frame: 12 months post treatment

    IIEF questionnaire. Lower score in IIEF means worse in erectile dysfunction.

  5. Change in sexual function (Male Sexual Health Questionnaire ejaculatory dysfunction, MSHQ-EjD questionnaire)

    Time frame: 12 months post treatment

    MSHQ-EjD questionnaire. Lower score in MSHQ-EjD means worse in ejaculation function.

  6. Quality of Recovery (QoR) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score at 30 days.

    Time frame: 30 days post treatment

    QoR VAS questionnaire. Higher score means good in recovery.

  7. Health care usage

    Time frame: 30 days post treatment

    Procedure time

  8. Health care usage

    Time frame: 30 days post treatment

    Readmission rate within 30days

  9. Rate of repeat surgical intervention

    Time frame: 12 months post treatment

    Number of participants that need repeated surgical intervention
