Optilume Catheter for Enlarged Prostate
(PEAK Trial)
Trial Summary
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. Please consult with the trial coordinators for more details.
Research shows that the Optilume BPH Catheter System, which uses a balloon to open up the prostate and delivers a drug called paclitaxel to keep it open, has positive outcomes for improving urinary symptoms and quality of life in men with an enlarged prostate.
12345The Optilume BPH Catheter System has been evaluated in studies like the PINNACLE and EVEREST-I, which suggest it is generally safe for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to an enlarged prostate, with favorable patient outcomes and minimal complications reported.
12456The Optilume BPH Catheter System is unique because it combines balloon dilation with a localized delivery of paclitaxel (a drug that helps keep the passage open) to treat enlarged prostate symptoms. This minimally invasive procedure can be done in an office setting without general anesthesia, offering favorable outcomes for both urinary and sexual function.
