Overview

The study objective is to evaluate the safety of the iTind device comparied to UroLift.

Description

UroLift is a treatment for relieving lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) as a minimally invasive procedure. This procedure has proven to have high efficacy with regards to improving objective and subjective parameters. The iTind is a minimally invasive temporary device designed to relieve LUTS secondary to BPH. This study is designed to compare the minimally invasive iTind device to UroLift.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Diagnosis of lower urinary tract symptoms presumed to be secondary to benign prostatic enlargement causing bladder outlet obstruction for which treatment is recommended
  2. Willing and able to provide informed consent
  3. Males ≥ 50 years of age or older
  4. PSA < 4 ng/dl, ng/ml or if the PSA is 4 - 10 ng/dl, ng/ml, prostate cancer must be ruled out to the satisfaction of the Principal Investigator (PI) by local standard of care methods within prior 6 months
  5. Prostate volume up to 75 cc (inclusive) documented by cross-sectional imaging (TRUS, MRI, etc.). Results from standard of care imaging may be accepted up to 6 months prior to Screening if the subject was not on 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5ARIs) at that time
  6. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥ 13
  7. Maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) of ≤ 15 mL/sec and ≥ 5 mL/sec (voided volume must be ≥ 125 mL)
  8. Willing and able to complete all study visits including questionnaires at baseline and at follow-up visits

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of prostate cancer or suspected, should be ruled out to the satisfaction of the PI by local standard of care methods within prior 6 months
  2. Confirmed or suspected bladder cancer within the last 2 years
  3. History of acute bacterial prostatitis within the last 2 years
  4. Median lobe obstruction of the prostate as confirmed by cross-sectional imaging
  5. PSA value > 10 ng/dl, ng/ml
  6. Contraindicated for iTind or UroLift as determined by the PI
  7. Neurogenic bladder and/or sphincter abnormalities due to Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral vascular accident, diabetes or other neurological disorders that affect bladder function
  8. Clinically significant bladder diverticulum
  9. Diagnosed with urethral stricture, meatal stenosis, bladder neck contracture, rectal disease, artificial urinary sphincter, incompetent sphincter, urinary incontinence due to incompetent sphincter
  10. Prior rectal surgery (other than hemorrhoidectomy) or history of rectal disease if the therapy may potentially cause injury to sites or previous rectal surgery (e.g., if a transrectal probe is used), pelvic radiotherapy or radical pelvic surgery, urinary diversion surgery, prostate surgery, balloon dilation, urethral stent implantation, laser prostatectomy, or any other invasive treatment to the prostate, or penile prosthesis that may prevent insertion of the iTind or UroLift device
  11. An active urinary tract infection
  12. Hematuria or cystolithiasis within the last 3 months
  13. Prostate volume > 75 cc
  14. Post-void residual volume (PVR) > 250 mL
  15. Actively using catheterization or unable to void naturally
  16. Unable to complete the required washout period for alpha blockers
  17. Taking anti-platelet or anticoagulants (except low dose aspirin - 81 mg - 100 mg) within the last 7 days prior to randomization
  18. Known or suspected allergy to nickel, titanium or polyester/polypropylene

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
