Promising prostate device trial halted after just one patient
NCT ID NCT05884580
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new device that uses water electrolysis to shrink prostate tissue and relieve urinary symptoms in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The goal was to see if it could improve symptoms by at least 30% and be safe. However, the trial was terminated early after enrolling only one participant, so no meaningful conclusions can be drawn.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Neuflo BPH Treatment System (a device that uses water electrolysis to reduce prostate tissue)
- What this could lead to
- If it worked, this device could offer a minimally invasive, outpatient option to relieve urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was terminated after enrolling only 1 person, so we have very little data on safety or effectiveness. It is unclear if the device works or is safe.
