NCT ID NCT07723378

First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tracks 1,400 men with an enlarged prostate who receive Rezūm, a procedure that uses steam to shrink excess tissue. Researchers aim to identify which patients are most likely to have lasting symptom relief, avoid repeat treatments, and preserve sexual function. The goal is to develop clearer guidelines for who benefits most from this minimally invasive option.

Active substance
Rezūm therapy (convective water vapor thermal ablation using steam)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors better predict which men will benefit most from steam therapy for an enlarged prostate and reduce the need for repeat treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so results may not prove cause and effect. Some men may still experience temporary urinary retention or need additional treatment.
