The 12-month interim analysis of 42 subjects enrolled in a multicenter, prospective, single-arm evaluation of safety, performance, and effectiveness of the Zenflow Spring System in relieving symptoms of BPH, are presented below. METHODS: The study included subjects ≥45 years of age with baseline IPSS score ≥13, QoL score ≥3, and prostate volume 25-80 cc. Follow-up assessments for effectiveness and safety were conducted at 2 weeks, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months and will continue annually through 60 months. RESULTS: Procedural success was achieved in 90% (38/42) of subjects enrolled. 12-month follow up data for 35 subjects is presented below. These subjects experienced statistically significant improvements in IPSS, QoL, and peak flow rate at all time points, through 12 months. Cystoscopy was performed at 3 and 12 months post implant with no evidence of encrustation. Reports of pain were few, mild, and transient. There was no impact on sexual function nor reports of ejaculatory dysfunction. Most patients did not require postoperative catheterization outside of standard of care treatment. Six SAEs were reported in 6 subjects. Four occurred in roll-in subjects who were among the first to receive treatment with the new generation of the device. It is highly probable these events are tied to the learning curve. Five subjects were explanted over the course of 12 months: 3 subjects due to urinary retention, 2 for lack of effectiveness and 1 for unrelated ureter carcinoma that prevented continuation in the trial. CONCLUSIONS: 12-month interim results suggest that the Zenflow Spring System provides a rapid and durable improvement in BPH symptoms and patient quality of life.
