The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether INTUPRO can improve the quality of life in patients with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can INTUPRO treatment lead to the removal of the Foley catheter? Can INTUPRO treatment improve urinary flow? Can INTUPRO treatment lower or minimize waking during sleep to urinate? Can INTUPRO reduce urinary hesitancy, urgency and frequency?
Participants will:
Receive INTUPRO treatment on Day 1. Visit at Day 30 and Day 90 for checkups, tests and Prostate MRI.
The main goal of this study is to determine how well INTUPRO improves urinary symptoms in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Effectiveness will be measured by changes in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), a standard questionnaire used to assess urinary symptoms.
Another goal of this study is to evaluate the safety of INTUPRO. This includes monitoring and recording all side effects, complications, or other medical problems that occur during the procedure and during the follow-up period after treatment.
This study is planned to last approximately one year; each patient will be followed for 3 months after treatment. Enrollment of 30 patients is expected.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention arm | Experimental | Under TRUS guidance, a fixed dose of the ablative agent will be administered to patients. Each patient will receive a total of 4-10 mL of ionic fluid, administered as two separate 2-5 mL injections into each side of the prostatic urethra. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| INTUPRO ionic fluid | Device | Under TRUS imaging, a fixed dose of the ablative agent will be administered to patients by the physician via needle. Each patient will receive a total of 4-10 mL ionic fluid , administered as two separate 2-5 mL injections into each side of the prostatic urethra. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Urinary Symptoms (IPSS Score) | The change in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) from baseline will be evaluated after treatment. IPSS scores recorded at the screening visit will be compared with scores obtained at the 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits. A reduction in the IPSS score at 1 month and 3 months compared with baseline will be considered a primary outcome measure. | 3 months |
| Procedure-Related and Post-Procedure Complications | Complications related to the procedure and the postoperative period will be assessed at 1 day, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment. The following complications will be specifically monitored:
| 3 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure-Related Pain (Wong-Baker Pain Scale) | Pain related to the procedure will be assessed using the Wong-Baker Pain Scale on the day of treatment (Day 1), and at the 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits. Pain scores at follow-up visits will be compared with the pain level recorded on the day of the procedure. | 3 months |

| Urinary Incontinence Symptoms (ICIQ-UI) |
Changes in urinary incontinence symptoms will be evaluated using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF). Scores will be recorded at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment, and follow-up scores will be compared with baseline values. |
| 3 months |
| Sexual Function (IIEF Score) | Changes in erectile function will be assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). Scores will be collected at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months, and compared with baseline measurements. | 3 months |
| Retrograde Ejaculation | The proportion of patients reporting retrograde ejaculation after the procedure will be recorded at the 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits. | 3 months |
| Quality of Life Related to Urinary Symptoms (IPSS-QoL) | Changes in quality of life related to urinary symptoms will be assessed using the IPSS Quality of Life (IPSS-QoL) score. Measurements will be taken at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months, and follow-up scores will be compared with baseline values. | 3 months |
| Uroflowmetry | Uroflowmetry measurements (Qmax - maximum flow rate, mL/s) will be collected at the 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits and compared with baseline values. | 3 months |
| Pressure-Flow Study (If Performed) | In patients who undergo pressure-flow studies, Detrusor pressure at Qmax (Pdet@Qmax) will be recorded at baseline and, if available, at the 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits, and compared with baseline values. | 3 months |
| Presence of prostate tissue ablation | The presence and extent of prostate tissue ablation (complete, partial, none) will be evaluated using MRI (or other imaging methods, if applied) at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months. Imaging findings will be compared across time points. | 3 months |
| Post-Procedure Urinary Catheterization Time | The total duration of urinary catheter use after the procedure, measured in days, will be recorded. | 3 months |
