Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The aim of the study is to prospectively evaluate the operational efficiency and safety of the Veloxion™ disposable resectoscope system when used for endoscopic surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Subjects will be followed up on 2 weeks (phone/clinic) and 1 month, (phone/clinic, safety assessments, device-related AEs, reinterventions, usability feedback).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Experimental: Aulea Veloxion™ Disposable Resectoscope System
Procedure: TURP using the Aulea Veloxion™ Disposable Resectoscope System
TURP will be performed by Aulea Veloxion™ Disposable Resectoscope System. The resectoscopes are single-use and ensure consistent quality and no cross-contamination. The automated fluid management system continuously monitors and manages intravesical pressure while actively evacuating tissue to prevent clogging. The active power generation system optimize plasma generation for effective resection and extended equipment life. This system allows transurethral resection of prostate to be performed in a motorized and highly effective manner. This study is designed to prospectively characterize operational efficiency in real-world BPH resections using the cleared device platform.
Device: Aulea Veloxion™ Disposable Resectoscope System
Veloxion™ platform disposable resectoscope is FDA-cleared for treatment of BPH. It is an all-in-one, platform that combines fluid control, video pipeline and energy generator. The resectoscopes are single-use and ensure consistent quality and no cross-contamination. The automated fluid management system continuously monitors and manages intravesical pressure while actively evacuating tissue to prevent clogging. The active power generation system optimize plasma generation for effective resection and extended equipment life. This system allows transurethral resection of prostate to be performed in a motorized and highly effective manner. This study is designed to prospectively characterize operational efficiency in real-world BPH resections using the cleared device platform.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Difference in total procedure time versus a pre-specified benchmark
Time Frame: Perioperative
