Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in International Prostate Symptom Score

    International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) scores were recorded at Baseline to 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, then annually to 5 years. The mean change in IPSS was calculated. The IPSS is a validated questionnaire used to screen for, rapidly diagnose, track the symptoms of, and suggest management of the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Scoring ranges from 0 to 35 with overall scores of 0-7 correlated to mildly symptomatic, 8-19 correlated to moderately symptomatic and 20-35 correlated to severely symptomatic. A reduction in score from baseline corresponds to improved outcome post procedure.

    Baseline to 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, annually to 5 years

Other Outcomes (6)

  • Intra-procedural and Post-procedural Pain

Rezum Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will receive the Rezūm transurethral needle ablation procedure to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Device: Rezum System

Interventions

The Rezūm System is designed to treat patients with bothersome urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The Rezūm System utilizes radiofrequency current to generate "wet" thermal energy in the form of water vapor, which is then injected into the transition zone and/or median lobe of the prostate tissue in controlled 9-second doses. The vapor that is injected into the prostate tissue rapidly disperses through the interstitial space between the tissue cells. As the vapor cools, it condenses immediately on contact with tissue and the stored thermal energy is released, denaturing the cell membranes and causing cell death. The denatured cells are absorbed by the body, which reduces the volume of prostate tissue adjacent to the urethra. The vapor condensation process also causes a rapid collapse of vasculature in the treatment zone, resulting in a bloodless procedure.

Eligibility Criteria

Age45 Years+

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male subjects \> 45 years of age who have symptomatic / obstructive symptoms secondary to BPH requiring invasive intervention.
  • IPSS score of ≥ 15.
  • Qmax: Peak flow rate ≤ 15 ml/sec.
  • Post-void residual (PVR) \< 300 ml.
  • Prostate transverse diameter \> 30 mm.
  • Prostate volume between 20 to 120 gm.
  • Voided volume ≥ 125 ml.
  • Subject able to complete the study protocol in the opinion of the Principal Investigator.
  • Subject must be willing to undergo the procedure without anesthesia.

You may not qualify if:

  • History of any illness or surgery that in the opinion of the Principal Investigator may confound the results of the study.
  • Presence of a penile implant.
  • Any prior minimally invasive intervention (e.g. TUNA,Laser, Microwave) or surgical intervention for the symptoms of BPH.
  • Currently enrolled in another clinical trial.
  • Confirmed or suspected malignancy of prostate or bladder.
  • Previous rectal surgery (other than hemorrhoidectomy) or history of rectal disease.
  • Previous pelvic irradiation or radical pelvic surgery.
  • Documented active urinary tract infection by culture or bacterial prostatitis within last year documented by culture (UTI is defined as \>100,000 colonies per ml urine from midstream clean catch or catheterization specimen).
  • Neurogenic bladder or sphincter abnormalities.
  • Urethral strictures, bladder neck contracture or muscle spasms.
  • Subjects who are interested in maintaining fertility.
  • Use of concomitant (or recent) medications to include the following:
  • Beta blockers, antihistamines, anticonvulsants, and antispasmodics within 1 week of treatment, unless there is documented evidence of stable dosing for last 6 months (e.g., no dose changes).
  • Alpha blockers, antidepressants, anticholinergics, androgens, or gonadotropin-releasing hormonal analogs within 2 weeks of treatment.
  • alpha reductase inhibitor within the last 6 months
  • +12 more criteria
