To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Water Vapor Thermal Therapy system for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia under the premise of ensuring the safety of the subjects and ensuring the scientific nature of the clinical trial. The primary safety endpoint will be device-related (serious) adverse events. The primary effectiveness endpoint will be changes (treatment group vs control group) from baseline in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) 3 months after medical device intervention.

|---|---|---|---|
| Treatment group | Active Comparator | Subjects with BPH with LUTS will be randomized into the treatment group to receive the Water Vapor Thermal treatment via cystoscope. |
|
| Sham control group | Sham Comparator | Subjects with BPH with LUTS will be randomized into the control group to receive a cystoscopy as the sham treatment. Crossover treatment: 3 months after the sham treatment, qualified subjects in the control group can choose to receive the crossover Water Vapor Thermal treatment via cystoscope. |

| Water Vapor Thermal Ablation | Device | The water vapor thermal ablation system injects thermal energy in the form of water vapor into the hyperplastic prostate tissue in controlled doses. The injected water vapor quickly disperses through the gaps between tissue cells. When water vapor comes into contact with tissue, it cools and condenses immediately. The stored heat energy is released, denaturing the cell membrane, causing cell death and eventually being absorbed or shed by the body and excreted through urination, thus improving the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). |

| IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) | The IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) is an eight-question written screening tool used to screen for, rapidly diagnose, track the symptoms of, and suggest management of the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It's minimum value is 0, and maximum value is 35. Lower scores mean a better outcome. | • Baseline, pre-intervention • 3 months after the initial intervention |

| Cystoscopy | Device | Cystoscopy is a procedure that allows the doctor to examine the lining of patient's bladder and the tube that carries urine out of the body (urethra). A hollow tube (cystoscope) equipped with a lens is inserted into your urethra and slowly advanced into the bladder. |
|
| Qmax (Peak Urinary Flow Rate) | In the context of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), "Qmax" refers to the maximum urinary flow rate, which is the fastest rate at which urine can be expelled during a urination test, essentially measuring the peak flow of urine and used as a key indicator to assess the severity of urinary obstruction caused by an enlarged prostate. | • Baseline, pre-intervention • 1 month after the initial intervention • 3 months after the initial intervention • 6 months after the initial intervention |
| PVR (Post-void Residual) | n the context of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), "PVR" stands for "Post-Void Residual," which refers to the amount of urine left in the bladder after a person urinates, essentially measuring how well the bladder is emptying. | • Baseline, pre-intervention • 1 month after the initial intervention • 3 months after the initial intervention • 6 months after the initial intervention |
| Prostate Volume via MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) measurement | MRI, with its advantage of multiplanar imaging and superior soft tissue contrast resolution, can be used in BPH patients to measure the entire prostatic volume. | • Baseline, pre-intervention • 1 month after the initial intervention • 3 months after the initial intervention • 6 months after the initial intervention |
| QoL (Quality of Life) | A Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaire for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can include questions about symptoms and possible adverse effects of treatment. It's minimum value is 0, and maximum value is 6. Lower scores mean a better outcome. | • Baseline, pre-intervention • 1 month after the initial intervention • 3 months after the initial intervention • 6 months after the initial intervention |
| BPHII (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index) | A "BPHII score" refers to a score on the "Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index" questionnaire, which is used to assess the impact of BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) symptoms on a man's quality of life; essentially measuring how much his BPH symptoms interfere with his daily activities and overall well-being. It's minimum value is 0, and maximum value is 13. Lower scores mean a better outcome. | • Baseline, pre-intervention • 1 month after the initial intervention • 3 months after the initial intervention • 6 months after the initial intervention |
| IIEF-5 (International Index of Erectile Function-5) | The International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) is a shortened, five-item questionnaire used to assess the severity of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men, essentially a simplified version of the longer International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) which covers a wider range of sexual function domains. It's minimum value is 1, and maximum value is 25. Higher scores mean a better outcome. | • Baseline, pre-intervention • 3 months after the initial intervention • 6 months after the initial intervention |
| MSHQ-EjD (Male Sexual Health Questionnaire for Ejaculatory Function) | The Male Sexual Health Questionnaire for Ejaculatory Function (MSHQ-EjD) is a shortened version of the Male Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ) specifically designed to assess ejaculatory dysfunction (EjD) in men, focusing on key aspects like the ability to ejaculate, the strength of ejaculation, and the amount of semen produced, allowing clinicians to evaluate potential issues related to ejaculation difficulties. It's minimum value is 1, and maximum value is 15. Higher scores mean a better outcome. | • Baseline, pre-intervention • 3 months after the initial intervention • 6 months after the initial intervention |
