Inclusion criteria

1. Subject has signed an informed consent form (ICF). 2. Men ≥ 45 years. 3. Symptomatic BPH with the following (all must be met): * IPSS ≥ 13. * Qmax ≤ 12 mL/sec on a voided volume of ≥ 125 mL. * PVR \< 250 mL. 4. Prostate volume 30-80 cc measured by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 6 months prior to randomization. 5. Subjects willing to be off their BPH-related medications from time of enrollment and throughout study participation. Note: All subjects on BPH-related medications must start a washout period prior to qualifying questionnaires and uroflowmetry.

Exclusion criteria

Subjects who meet ANY of the following

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety of Urocross Expander Implantmore than 7 days post procedureThe rate of extended post-operative urinary catheterization (more than 7 days) from treatment for inability to void.
Efficacy of the Urocross Expander Implant as delivered by the Urocross Expander System and the Urocross Retrieval Sheath3 months post-procedureThe primary efficacy endpoint is Change from Baseline in Total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at 3 months post-procedure. The IPSS items range in score from 0-5, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms. The study is powered to show that the average improvement in Total IPSS among the Urocross Implant subjects is more than 25% greater than the average improvement in Total IPSS among the sham-control subjects.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percent change in Total IPSS for subjects randomized to the Urocross Implant3 months post-procedureThe major secondary efficacy endpoint is the percent change in Total IPSS from baseline (i.e., pre-procedure) to 3 months post-procedure for subjects randomized to the Urocross Implant group. The IPSS items range in score from 0-5, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
