简要总结
In this proposal, the investigators plan to conduct a clinical trial to validate the efficacy and safety of microspheres (T-ACE Beads).
详细描述
T-ACE Beads can be used for prostatic arterial embolization safely and efficiently. Furthermore, investigator's microspheres has advantageous characteristics in biodegradability, drug delivery capability, and cost-effectiveness. After the clinical trial, we anticipate introducing a new microsphere for Lower Urinary Tract Symptom/Benign prostatic hyperplasia patients, which is beneficial to the participants in precise medicine as well as in the pharmaceutical and medical device industry.

入选标准
- •A. Men ≥ 50 years of age. Healthy patients or volunteers without diagnosis of Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) / Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) will not be included.
- •B. Patients diagnosed of LUTS / BPH,International Prostate Symptom Score > 12 with mild to severe symptom of LUTS.
- •C. Prostate volume > 50 mL.
- •D. Urinary flow rate <15 mL / sec.
- •E. Ineffectiveness after 6 months of previous medical treatment, or the side effects are too difficult to tolerate.
排除标准
- •If patients meet any of the following criteria they may not be entered into the study:
- •A. Major pelvic disease, or other malignancies.
- •B. Prostate specific antigen of serum > 10 ng/mL, malignant tumor not yet rule out (prostate specific antigen PSA>10 ng/mL).
- •C. Had Prostate surgery.
- •D. Chronic bacterial prostatitis.
- •E. Renal dysfunction or bladder diverticulum stones caused by prostate disease obstruction.
- •F. Main organs (heart, lung, liver, kidney) dysfunction who are not eligible for clinical trials under physicians' consideration.
- •G. White Blood Cell< 2000 or Severe thrombocytopenia(Platelet count <50,000/μL),or blood coagulation abnormalities uncorrectable .
- •H. Unable to follow-up by MRI 3 times.
- •I. Unable to follow-up by ultrasound or CT scan.

- •R. Patients with neurogenic or bladder atonia.
- •S. Patients where embolization is not possible distal to collateral vessels feeding non-prostatic tissue.
- •T. Patients with major neurologic illnesses which could have symptoms that may be similar to or confused for BPH (eg multiple sclerosis, Shy-Drager syndrome, spinal cord injury, etc.).
- •U. Patients with urethral stents.

- •W. Patients who have started or changed their dosage of alpha blockers or 5-alpha reductase inhibitors in the month prior to prostatic artery embolization.
- •X. Allergic to pharmaceutical excipients related to Microspheres.
