Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the transarterial supraselective embolization (TSE) is a technique as effective as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

About this study

Official title: A Randomised Clinical Trial to Compare Efficacy and Safety of the Transarterial Supraselective Embolization of the Prostate Compared Versus the Transurethral Resection of the Prostate to Treat the Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Due to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the transarterial supraselective embolization (TSE) is a technique as effective as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Being tested
Transarterial Supraselective Embolization of the prostate, Transurethral Resection of the prostate
Medical subject headings
Prostatic Hyperplasia, Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum urinary flow (Qmax)

    Maximum urinary flow (Qmax) measured prior intervention and one year later

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) measured before and after the intervention

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Reduction in prostate volume

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Sexual function

    Assessed by International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) prior and and one year after intervention.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transarterial Supraselective Embolization of the prostate and Transurethral Resection of the prostate in people with Transurethral Resection of Prostate and Artery Embolization, run by Fundacion Miguel Servet at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum urinary flow (Qmax) (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01963312, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 May 2018.
