The original prospective clinical trial (lateral lobe only) was
performed at eight (8) medical centers across the United States.
One hundred sixty-seven (167) men 50 years of age or older with
symptomatic BPH were enrolled in this original trial. One hundred
twenty-one (121) of these patients were randomized to either the
TUNA Therapy or TURP: sixty-five (65) were treated with the
TUNA Therapy and fifty-six (56) underwent TURP. Forty-six (46)
additional non-randomized patients were treated with TUNA,
making the total TUNA-treated population one hundred eleven
(111).
Mean values for AUA (American Urological Association)
Symptom Score, Peak Flow Rate, Post Void Residual Volume,
and Quality of Life (QOL) score between the TUNA Therapy and
TURP groups were measured at baseline, 6 months, and 12
months following the treatment, respectively (Table 5-2).
