Can a Drug-Coated balloon ease an enlarged prostate without surgery?

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male subject 50-80 years of age who has symptomatic BPH 2. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥ 13 3. Peak urinary flow rate (Qmax) ≥ 5 ml/sec and ≤ 12 ml/sec (with minimum voided volume of ≥ 150 ml) 4. Prostate volume 20 to 80 gm as determined by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) 5. Prostatic urethral length ≥ 32 mm and ≤ 55 mm as determined by TRUS 6. History of inadequate response, contraindication, or refusal of BPH medical therapy 7. Able to complete the study protocol in the opinion of the investigator Exclusion Criteria: 1. Unable or unwilling to sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF) and/or comply with all the follow-up requirements 2. Unwilling to abstain or use protected sex for the first 30 days post treatment 3. Unwilling to abstain from sexual intercourse or use a highly effective contraceptive for at least 6 months post-procedure 4. Presence of an artificial urinary sphincter or stent(s) in the urethra or prostate 5. Any prior minimally invasive intervention (e.g. TUNA, Balloon, Microwave, Rezūm, UroLift) or surgical intervention of the prostate 6. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) ≥ 10 ng/ml unless prostate cancer is ruled out by biopsy 7. Confirmed or suspected malignancy of prostate or bladder 8. Active or history of epididymitis within the past 3 months 9. Previous pelvic irradiation or pelvic trauma surgery 10. Active urinary tract infection (UTI) confirmed by culture 11. Bacterial prostatitis within the last 12 months 12. Non-bacterial prostatitis within the last 5 years 13. Visible or invisible hematuria (\> 4 Red Blood Cells (RBCs) per high power field) on 2 separate urine specimens within the last 3 months without a know contributing factor 14. Neurogenic bladder or sphincter abnormalities or neurological disorders that might affect bladder or sphincter function 15. History of urinary incontinence 16. Previous or current diagnosis of urethral strictures, bladder neck contracture or detrusor muscle spasms 17. Previous rectal surgery, other than hemorrhoidectomy 18. Use of antihistamines, anticonvulsants or antispasmodics within 1 week prior to baseline assessment unless there is documented evidence of stable dosing for at least 6 months 19. Use of antidepressants with adrenergic effects (i.e. duloxetine, imipramine and amitriptyline), long-acting anticholinergics (LAAC) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or androgens within 2 weeks prior to baseline assessment unless there is documented evidence of stable dosing for at least 3 months prior to baseline assessment 20. Use of Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone (LHRH) analogs within 12 months prior to baseline assessment 21. Use of Type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor \[e.g. finasteride (Proscar, Propecia)\] within 3 months of baseline assessment 22. Use of 5-alpha reductase inhibitor \[e.g. dutasteride (Avodart)\] within 6 months of baseline assessment 23. Use of estrogen or drugs producing androgen suppression unless there is documented evidence of stable dosing for at least 3 months prior to baseline assessment 24. Use of alpha blockers or daily dose PDE5 inhibitor (e.g. Cialis) within 2 weeks of baseline assessment 25. Use of warfarin or novel oral anti-coagulants \[e.g., apixaban (Eliquis), fondaparinux (Arixtra), rivaroxaban (Xarelto) or edoxaban (Savaysa)\], unless the medication is safely discontinued prior to the procedure and is not planned to be restarted for at least 5 days post-procedure 26. Use of anti-platelet medications (e.g., clopidogrel, aspirin) within 10 days prior to the procedure or planned use within 5 days post-procedure 27. History of hypersensitivity reactions to paclitaxel, on medication that may have negative interaction with paclitaxel, presence of solid tumor with a baseline neutrophil count of \<1500 cells/mm3 or AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma with baseline neutrophil count of \<1000 cells/mm3 28. Incidence of spontaneous urinary retention within 6 months prior to baseline assessment 29. Current post-void residual volume \> 300 ml or catheter dependent bladder drainage 30. Known poor detrusor muscle function (e.g. Qmax \< 5 ml/sec) 31. Current bladder or prostatic urethral stones 32. Biopsy of prostate within 40 days prior to procedure 33. History of cancer in non-genitourinary system which is not considered in complete remission (except basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin). A potential participant is considered in complete remission if there has been no evidence of cancer within five years 34. Current uncontrolled diabetes (i.e. hemoglobin A1c ≥ 8%) 35. History of clinically significant comorbidities or presence of unstable conditions \[e.g. cardiovascular, lung, renal (serum creatinine \> 2.0 mg/dl), hepatic, bleeding disorders or metabolic impairment\] that may confound the results of the study or have a risk to subject per investigator's opinion 36. Any cognitive disorder that interferes with or precludes direct and accurate communication with the study investigator regarding the study or affects the ability to complete the study quality of life questionnaires 37. Life expectancy \< 10 years 38. Anatomy (e.g. presence of false passage or size of meatus) is not suitable for treatment in this study 39. Significant median lobe component \[e.g. intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) \> 1 cm\] 40. Device that corresponds with the subject's prostate size is not available 41. Currently enrolled in or plan to enroll in another investigational clinical study for any disease except for observational only study 42. In the opinion of the investigator, it is not in the subject's best interest to participate in the study
