The objectives of the trial are to demonstrate the safety and performance of the Zenflow Spring System in relieving the symptoms of obstructive Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
The purpose of the Zenflow Study (ZEST CAN) is to evaluate the safety, performance and effectiveness of the Zenflow Spring System for the treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) that arise due to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), secondary to the presence of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). It is intended that the features of the Zenflow Spring will provide an effective office-based treatment and management therapy for BPH with little or no side effects.

|---|---|---|---|
| Treatment Group | Experimental | Receives intervention with the Zenflow Spring System. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zenflow Spring System | Device | The Zenflow Spring is a nitinol urethral implant for the treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) that arise due to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), secondary to the presence of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH). The device is intended to be a permanent implant however it may be removed if necessary. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Successful placement of the Zenflow Spring Implant | Number of successful deployments and procedural successes for the Zenflow System to implant the Spring device in the OR, or in an out-patient clinical setting as compared to total treatment attempts. | Day of discharge up to 7 days following device placement |
| Effectiveness of the Spring Implant in reducing symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) using the International Prostate Symptom Score | At 3 months, achieve at least 30% mean improvement in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) compared to baseline. The patient is asked to respond to 7 questions related to his urinary health using a rating scale of 0 to 5 where zero is excellent and 5 is the worst possible. The responses to the 7 questions are tallied for a total IPSS score. | 3 month |
| Need for urinary catheterization | Achieve < 12% rate of extended post-operative urinary catheterization, defined as an occurrence of a subject requiring catheterization within the first 3 days as part of a postoperative management for inability to void, for greater than 7 days. | 7 days after the procedure |
| Incidence of procedure or device related serious adverse events | Achieve < 12% rate of device or procedure related SAEs through discharge and 30 days follow up. | 30 days after the procedure |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of Sexual Health Assessment: Change in sexual health measured by change in the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) questionnaire score | The patient selects the most appropriate response to 5 questions about his sexual health. Each response has an assigned value between 1 and 5. The numeric values are tallied for a total score. | Baseline, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, & 60 months |
