What is being measured

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

  1. At 6 Months, the 95% Lower Confidence Limit of the Mean Percent Improvement in IPSS Over Baseline for the UroLift System Must be ≥ 25%.

    The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a standardized 8 question (7 symptom questions + 1 quality of life question) written screening tool used to screen for, rapidly diagnose, track the symptoms of, and suggest management of the symptoms of the disease benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The symptoms must have been experienced in the last month and each answer is scored from 0 to 5 for a maximum score of 35 points.Those patients scoring 7 or below are generally considered mildly symptomatic, whereas 20 or above is considered severely symptomatic.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Intent to Treat Population International Prostate Symptom Scores at Baseline and 12 Month Follow-up

    The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a standardized 8 question (7 symptom questions + 1 quality of life question) written screening tool used to screen for, rapidly diagnose, track the symptoms of, and suggest management of the symptoms of the disease benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The symptoms must have been experienced in the last month and each answer is scored from 0 to 5 for a maximum score of 35 points.Those patients scoring 7 or below are generally considered mildly symptomatic, whereas 20 or above is considered severely symptomatic.

    Measured: 12 Months

  2. Intent to Treat Population International Prostate Symptom Score Percent Change From Baseline to 12 Month Follow-up

    Present change in Intent to Treat population International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) from Baseline to 12 Month Follow-up

    Measured: 12 Months

  3. Intent to Treat Population Quality of Life Scores at Baseline and 12 Month Follow-up

    Quality of Life (QOL) score results from a disease-specific (BPH) quality of life question (bother score) scored on a scale from 0 to 6 points (delighted to terrible).

    Measured: 12 Months

  4. Intent to Treat Population Quality of Life Score Perfect Change From Baseline to 12 Month Follow-up

    Quality of Life (QOL) score results from a disease-specific (BPH) quality of life question (bother score) scored on a scale from 0 to 6 points (delighted to terrible).

    Measured: 12 Months

  5. Intent to Treat Population BPHII Scores at Baseline and 12 Month Follow-up

    BPHII (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index) is used to assess the impact of BPH symptoms on subject health and functioning. The BPHII is a self-administered questionnaire with 4 questions about urinary problems during the past month regarding physical discomfort, worry about health, how bothersome symptoms are, and whether the symptoms are interfering with doing usual activities. Scores for each question range from 0 to 4, with higher score indicating greater impact. Maximum score is 16.

    Measured: 12 Months

  6. Intent to Treat Population BPHII Score Percent Change From Baseline to 12 Month Follow-up

    Present change in Intent to Treat population, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index (BPHII) score from Baseline to 12 Month Follow-up

    Measured: 12 Months

  7. Intent to Treat Population Peak Flow Rate Scores at Baseline and 12 Month Follow-up

    Peak or maximum flow rate [ml/sec] was collected using uroflowmetry, a standard diagnostic used to test to assess how well the urinary tract functions. A lower number indicates a reduced flow rate.

    Measured: 12 Months

  8. Intent to Treat Population Peak Flow Rate Percent Change From Baseline to 12 Month Follow-up

    Peak or maximum flow rate [ml/sec] was collected using uroflowmetry, a standard diagnostic used to test to assess how well the urinary tract functions. A lower number indicates a reduced flow rate.

    Measured: 12 Months

  9. Intent to Treat Population Post Void Residual Measurement at Baseline and 12 Month Follow-up

    Post Residual Void (PVR) is the amount of urine left in the bladder after using the restroom. PVR is determined using ultrasound or bladder scanner.

    Measured: 12 Months

  10. Intent to Treat Population Post Void Residual Change From Baseline to 12 Month Follow-up

    Post Residual Void (PVR) is the amount of urine left in the bladder after using the restroom. PVR is determined using ultrasound or bladder scanner.

    Measured: 12 Months

What does the primary outcome measure?

At 6 Months, the 95% Lower Confidence Limit of the Mean Percent Improvement in IPSS Over Baseline for the UroLift System Must be ≥ 25%. (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.
