Study Summary

PINNACLE is a prospective, multi-center, randomized control clinical trial to establish the safety and efficacy of the Optilume™ BPH Catheter System in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

Medical Condition
The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.
  • Prostate
    • Phase
    The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.
