Real-World, Long-Term Data Demonstrate Sustained Benefits of Aquablation Therapy for Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Data from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Potomac Urology presented at the 2024 AUA Annual Meeting highlight Aquablation therapy’s potential to become the new standard of care in BPH for prostates of all sizes

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PROCEPT BioRobotics Corporation (Nasdaq: PRCT) (the “Company”), a surgical robotics company focused on advancing patient care by developing transformative solutions in urology, today announced long-term, real-world data showcasing the benefits of Aquablation therapy for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) at both academic and commercial settings. The results were presented this past weekend at the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.

“The data presented at AUA confirm the safety and long-term durability of Aquablation therapy in treating men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia, regardless of prostate size or shape," said Reza Zadno, CEO of PROCEPT BioRobotics. “The fact that 12 abstracts were presented this past weekend underscores the growing body of real-world evidence to support that Aquablation therapy delivers the highest standard in urological care.”

Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai – 4-Year Outcomes
Aquablation therapy was performed on 275 adult men with moderate to severe BPH with a prostate volume between 38 and 293 mL (mean volume of 108.3 mL). The patients were out to 4 years post-procedure.

Key results:

• Mean prostate volume decreased from 108.3 mL to 66.2 mL (-38.9%).
• International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) improved from 24.2 at baseline to 7.1 at 4 years.
• Peak urinary flow rate (Qmax) increased nearly 3-fold from 6.1 mL/sec to 17.1 mL/sec.
• Antegrade ejaculation was preserved for 99% of men.
• Surgical retreatment occurred in 1.8% patients.
  

"BPH is a condition that impacts the majority of men as they age, but treatment options have not historically found the balance between alleviating symptoms from enlarged prostates while preserving sexual function and urinary continence. While there have been studies demonstrating the durable efficacy and safety profile of Aquablation therapy for the treatment of BPH, this is the largest academic single-center experience demonstrating long-term performance in BPH management,” said Dr. Steven Kaplan, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
