What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests whether using MRI and AI to guide steam therapy can improve treatment for an enlarged prostate (BPH). Men aged 30-80 with moderate symptoms and a prostate size between 30-80 mL are eligible. All participants receive the standard steam procedure, but with added MRI guidance to plan and deliver the treatment more precisely. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and leads to better outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
water vapor (steam) thermal therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could make steam therapy for BPH more precise and effective, potentially reducing side effects and improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The procedure carries risks like infection, urinary issues, or incomplete symptom relief.
