MP20-01 WATER vs WATER II 3-Year Update: Comparing Aquablation Therapy for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in 30-80 cc and 80-150 cc Prostates

You have accessJournal of UrologyBenign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Surgical Therapy NCT02505919) is a prospective, double-blind, multicentre, international clinical trial comparing Aquablation and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of LUTS/BPH in prostates between 30 and 80 mL. WATER II (NCT03123250) is a prospective, multicentre, single-arm international clinical trial of Aquablation in prostates between 80 and 150 mL. We compare baseline parameters and 60-month outcomes in 116 WATER and 101 WATER II study patients that underwent Aquablation. Students' t-test or Wilcoxon tests were used for continuous variables and Fisher's test for binary variables. RESULTS: International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) scores improved from 22.9 and 23.2 at baseline in WATER and WATER II, respectively, to 7.0 and 6.8 at 60-month, with 60-month reductions of 15.9 and 16.4 points, respectively (p=0.85). At baseline, urinary flow rate (Qmax) was 9.4 and 8.7 cc/sec in WATER and WATER II, improving to 17.3 and 17.1 cc/sec, respectively (p=0.93) at 60 months. Improvements in both IPSS and Qmax were immediate and sustained throughout follow-up. At 5 years, 99% and 94% of treated patients were BPH medication-free in WATER and WATER II, respectively (p=0.05). At 5 years, 95% and 97% of treated patients were free from surgical retreatment in WATER and WATER II, respectively (p=0.51). CONCLUSIONS: The final five-year follow-up analysis of two, prospective clinical trials demonstrate that Aquablation therapy has durable outcomes and low retreatment rates for the treatment of LUTS/BPH independently of prostate volume between 30-150ml prostates.
