What is being measured

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

  1. Deployment of the Implant

    Successful deployment of the implant from the delivery system in the target location within the prostatic urethra, as assessed with post deployment endoscopy

    Measured: Immediately after the implant deployment procedure

  2. Expansion of the Implant

    Successful deployment of the implant from the delivery system in the target location within the prostatic urethra, as assessed with post deployment CT

    Measured: Within 24 hours of the implant deployment procedure

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Rate of complications e.g. difficulty with urination, related to the implant use peri-procedurally and in the immediate follow up period

    Measured: Immediately after the implant deployment procedure, within 24 hours

  2. Rate of complications e.g. pain, difficulty with urination, related to the implant throughout the follow-up period of 2 years

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of the procedure in alleviating LUTS voiding symptoms

    Change in symptom score using the Improvement in International Prostate Symptom Score and Quality of Life score instrument within the 2 year follow up period

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of the procedure in improving urinary flow

    Change in Qmax measurement within the 2 year follow up period

    Measured: 2 years

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?

Deployment of the Implant (time frame: Immediately after the implant deployment procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
