NCT02869971

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this trial is to compare the 9-month effect on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) of Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) using Embosphere® versus Standard Combined Therapy (alpha-blockers plus 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors) in patients with symptomatic BPH who failed after a first line medical treatment with alpha-blockers. The secondary objectives of this study are to:

  • Estimate the impact of the 2 strategies on benign prostatic hyperplasia specific Health Status (i.e. urinary and sexual signs and symptoms) at 3, 9, 18, and 24 months, as well as the side effects of the 2 strategies;
  • Report the safety of PAE;
  • Evaluate patient's adherence to medical treatment;
  • Analyse the costs of each strategy and report the incremental efficiency (incremental cost utility ratio) of prostatic artery embolization compared to medical treatment.
