Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Safety: Adverse Events (Time Frame: Procedure to 12 Months)

    This includes the rate of device or procedure related serious adverse events through 12-months.

    Procedure - 12 months

  • Safety: Number of Participants With Need for Urinary Catheterization (Time Frame: >7 Days Post Procedure)

    The rate of extended post-operative urinary catheterization for inability to void among patients treated with the ProVee device.

    7 days post treatment through to 12 months

  • Effectiveness: Number of Participants With Reduction in BPH Symptoms Compared to Sham (Time Frame: Procedure to 3 Months)

    The ProVee Treatment Group will be considered superior to the Sham Treatment Group when the mean 3-month improvement from baseline score for the IPSS symptom questionnaire demonstrates a minimum statistical margin of 25% compared to mean improvement from baseline for the Sham Treatment Group alone.

    Procedure to 3 months

  • Effectiveness: Number of Participants With Symptoms Improvements (Time Frame: Procedure to 12 Months)

    The mean percent change in IPSS in the treatment arm is at least 30% improvement over the patient's pre-treatment baseline score.

    Procedure to 12 months

Study Arms (3)

Device: The ProVee Urethral Expander System

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The ProVee Urethral Expander System consists of two components: a nitinol Expander implant and a 19Fr Delivery System designed to allow the Expander to be deployed under direct vision for the treatment arm.

Device: ProVee Urethral Expander System

Sham: Ureteroscope and urethral access sheath

SHAM COMPARATOR

An ureteroscope housed within the inner lumen of an urethral access sheath will be used under direct vision for the Sham procedure.

Procedure: Urethral Access Sheath

Crossover ProVee Urethral Expander System

OTHER

All subjects shall be unblinded following the 3 month follow-up visit. Those subjects randomized to the Sham Arm will be given the opportunity to "crossover" to the ProVee Urethral Expander System.

Device: ProVee Urethral Expander System

Interventions

ProVee Expander is placed in prostatic urethra to relieve obstruction due to BPH.

Also known as: ProVee Expander, ProVee
Crossover ProVee Urethral Expander SystemDevice: The ProVee Urethral Expander System

The Urethral Access Sheath is introduced into the prostatic urethra to simulate the placement of the ProVee Expander.

Sham: Ureteroscope and urethral access sheath

Eligibility Criteria

Age45 Years+
Sexmale(Gender-based eligibility)
Gender Eligibility DetailsMale
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Males \> 45 years of age
  • IPSS of ≥ 13, IPSS V/S \> 1 at baseline assessment
  • Prostate volume of ≥ 30 cc and ≤ 80 cc
  • Prostatic urethral L2 lengths ≥ 3.75cm by TRUS
  • Failed, intolerant, or subject choice to not take a medication regimen for the treatment of LUTS

You may not qualify if:

  • Void volume \<125 ml; Qmax \> 12ml/s; PVR \> 250 ml
  • Obstructive median lobe defined by EITHER (\>10mm protrusion on sagittal mid-prostate plane as measured by TRUS) OR an obstructive median lobe seen on cystoscopy e.g., 'ball valve''
  • High bladder neck, with the absence of lateral lobe encroachment indicating a high likelihood of primary bladder neck obstruction
  • Anatomy that would prevent the apices of the ProVee from engaging with the lateral lobes e.g., high degree of bladder neck angulation such that the anterior bladder neck is not visible
  • Acute urinary retention
  • Known immunosuppression
  • History of or suspected prostate or bladder cancer
  • Baseline PSA \> 10 ng/mL or confirmed or suspected prostate cancer (Subjects with a PSA level above 2.5 ng/mL, or age specific, or local reference ranges should have prostate cancer excluded to the Investigator's satisfaction, including a SOC biopsy if indicated).
  • Recent urinary tract stones, OR widespread calcifications on the prostatic urethral wall, within 3 months of index procedure
  • A history of prostatitis within the last two years
  • Active or history of epididymitis within the past 3 months
  • Neurogenic bladder and/or sphincter abnormalities due to Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral vascular accident, diabetes'
  • History of urinary retention within 12 months of baseline assessment
  • Requiring self-catheterization to void
  • An active urinary tract infection (UTI) at time of index procedure
  • +29 more criteria
