The ProACT Post-Approval Study is a long-term research study that lasts for 5 years. It looks at how often certain problems happen after men have a ProACT device implanted. The study also checks if this device changes how well other treatments work for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), which is when someone leaks urine when they laugh, cough, or exercise.
To join, you need to be a man, at least 50 years old, and have had prostate surgery. You should be ready to have surgery for the ProACT device and agree to follow-up calls once a year for 5 years. You must also have certain tests and be in good health, according to the study rules.
However, if you have certain health issues like urethral stricture (narrowing of the tube that carries urine), bladder cancer, or uncontrolled diabetes, you cannot join. Also, if you've had other surgeries or treatments recently, you might not be eligible.
- The study lasts for 5 years with annual follow-up calls.
- Participants must have undergone prostate surgery and be in good health.
- Some health conditions might prevent joining this study.
