Robust I study is a feasibility study for evaluating the safety and efficacy of DCB.
The study is designed to determine the safety and effectiveness for drug coated balloon (DCB). Up to 50 subjects is planned to be enrolled and treated with the study device at up to 5 clinical sites outside of US. Due to significantly higher prevalence of strictures in men vs. women and the etiology of those strictures being different, the study will focus on male subjects with single anterior urethral stricture. Subjects will be followed up post-treatment to one year and then annually for up to 5 years. The annual follow up after the first year is optional.

Rate of Treatment Related Serious Complication
* urethral formation of fistula * de novo severe urinary retention lasting \> 14 consecutive days' post-treatment * unresolved de novo stress urinary incontinence (requiring \>1 pad/day) at 90 days or earlier * urethra rupture or burst.
Time frame: 90 days post-procedure
Stricture Recurrence Rate
* IPSS score of greater than 11 at the 90-day follow-up, or * if a subject had a second DCB treatment (retreatment), or * if a subject exited the study early due to treatment failure (IPSS \>11 without cystoscopically confirmed anatomical success at the time of exit or receiving additional stricture treatment with an alternative therapy).
Time frame: 90 days post-procedure
