Vivifi Device Safety Evaluation for the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

July 29, 2026 updated by: Vivifi Medical

Safety and Efficacy Evaluation of the Vivifi Device for Treatment of Symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

The study objective is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Vivifi device to treat symptomatic, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

The Vivifi Device and procedure will be an alternative treatment for symptomatic BPH. Where other currently available treatments are generally either procedures that destroy and/or remove prostatic tissue or that involve a minimally-invasive surgical therapy, the Vivifi device is a less invasive percutaneous approach that does not require urethral entry, tissue removal, or implants. By addressing a contributing root cause of prostatic growth through a minimally invasive percutaneous approach, unwanted enlargement of the prostate may be halted or reversed, without damage to the prostatic tissue or urethra.These initial clinical studies will test the safety and feasibility of this approach.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with prior history of relevant scrotal or testicular vascular surgeries or procedures, or vasectomy.
  2. Previous procedural prostate intervention (TURP, laser, ablation, prostate artery embolization, etc.). Prostate biopsies are acceptable
  3. Intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) > 10 mm
  4. Post-void residual volume (PVR) > 200ml
  5. IPSS QoL score ≤ 3
  6. Prostate cancer diagnosis, suspicious DRE, or PSA > 10ng/mL
  7. Patients with clinical history of chronic prostatitis.
  8. Patients with clinical history of urinary retention with previous need for catheterization (prior 30 days), or urethral strictures.

  10. Patients who are unable to undergo the required anesthesia for the procedure
  11. Patients on testosterone replacement therapy
  12. Patients unable to hold blood thinners, or with coagulation related issues
  13. Patients currently taking medication for BPH (eg. Alpha-blockers or 5-ARIs) who are unwilling or unable to discontinue (washout) prior to treatment (14 days for α-blockers (tamsulosin, alfuzosin, silodosin, doxazosin, terazosin), 8 weeks for finasteride, 5 months for dutasteride)
  14. Diagnosis of Hidradenitis suppurativa

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Primary Safety Endpoint
Time Frame: 24 month follow-up
Number of participants experiencing device or procedure related adverse events assessed by severity and causality.
24 month follow-up
Mean change from baseline International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at 24 months
Time Frame: From baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 24 months post-procedure.
The IPSS is a validated 7-item questionnaire scored 0-25: higher scores indicate worse urinary symptoms. Mean change from baseline will be reported.
From baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 24 months post-procedure.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean change from baseline in ejaculatory function assessed by Male Sexual Health Questionnaire for Ejaculatory Dysfunction (MSHQ-EjD)
Time Frame: From baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 24 months post-procedure.
The Male Sexual Health Questionnaire for Ejaculatory Dysfunction (MSHQ-EjD) is a validated, 4 item, patient-reported outcome instrument that assesses ejaculatory function and bother in men, evaluating domains of ejaculation force, volume, frequency, and satisfaction. A higher score on the first 3 domains indicates better ejaculatory function and the final domain indicates higher quality of life.
From baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 24 months post-procedure.
Mean change from baseline in prostate volume (cc) measured by MRI
Time Frame: From baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 24 months post-procedure.
Mean change from baseline in prostate volume (cubic centimeters) as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at specified follow-up time points. A reduction in prostate volume is desirable.
From baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 24 months post-procedure.
Mean change from baseline in peak urinary flow rate (Qmax, mL/s) measured by uroflow
Time Frame: From baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 24 months post-procedure.
Mean change from baseline in peak urinary flow rate (Qmax, milliliters per second) as measured by uroflowmetry at specified follow-up time points.
From baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 24 months post-procedure.
Mean change from baseline in post-void residual volume (PVR, mL) measured by ultrasound or bladder scan
Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 24 months post-procedure.
Mean change from baseline in post-void residual urine volume (PVR, milliliters) as measured by ultrasound or bladder scan at specified follow-up time points.
Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 24 months post-procedure.

Other Outcome Measures

Measure Description
Time Frame
Procedure Duration
Time Frame: Day of procedure
Time of procedure in minutes
Day of procedure
Change from baseline in serum PSA (ng/dl) and testosterone (ng/dl)
Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months
Mean change from baseline in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA, nanograms per milliliter) and total testosterone (nanograms per deciliter) as measured by standard laboratory assay at specified follow-up time points.
Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months
Cystoscopic assessment of urethral and bladder integrity
Time Frame: From baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months
Cystoscopic evaluation of urethral and bladder mucosal integrity at specified follow-up time points to assess for procedure-related anatomical changes or adverse findings.
From baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months
