This early study tests a new treatment called RT-310 for men with enlarged prostate (BPH) who have bothersome urinary symptoms. RT-310 is a drug delivered directly into the prostate to reduce side effects. The study will check if it is safe and feasible in 20 men aged 50 to 80.

This study aimed to see if taking antibiotics for three days after a type of prostate surgery (HoLEP) lowers the chance of getting a urinary tract infection. It was designed for men over 40 with an enlarged prostate and no current infection. However, the study was withdrawn befor…

This study tests a robotic system that uses a high-pressure water jet to remove prostate tissue in men with localized prostate cancer and trouble urinating. The goal is to see if the procedure is safe and works well. About 125 men will be followed for one year after treatment.

This study tests a new surgical technique for treating enlarged prostate in men who also have a penile implant. The standard approach through the urethra can damage the implant, so surgeons are trying an alternative route through the lower belly. The study will enroll 80 men and …

This early study tests a new device called RT-310, a small implant placed inside the prostate to treat bothersome urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate. The trial includes 20 men aged 50 to 80 who have not gotten enough relief from medication. The main goal is to check if th…

This study is testing a new way to detect prostate cancer by looking at cells in urine using a special imaging method. Researchers will collect urine samples from 675 men aged 50-75, including those with and without prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this simple test can accu…

This pilot study is testing a new device that uses pulsed field ablation to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (BPH). About 100 men over age 45 who haven't gotten relief from medication will receive the treatment and be followed for safety and effectiveness. Th…

This study tests a new device designed to relieve symptoms of an enlarged prostate, such as frequent or difficult urination. About 245 men aged 50 and older will be randomly assigned to receive the device or a sham procedure. The main goal is to see if the device improves symptom…

This study tests a procedure called prostatic artery embolization (PAE) in 17 men with low-risk prostate cancer who also have trouble urinating. The goal is to see if PAE can reduce urinary symptoms before they start radiation therapy. Participants will have their symptoms and pr…

This study looks at two non-drug ways to help older men with an enlarged prostate. It compares electromagnetic field therapy, a gentle treatment using energy waves, to aerobic exercise like walking or cycling. The goal is to see which works better to shrink the prostate and ease …

This study looks at two procedures—prostate artery embolization (PAE) and holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP)—to see which better eases urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It involves 45 men aged 50 or older with prostates larger than 80 grams. The main goal is to meas…

This study looks at whether doing pelvic floor exercises before prostate surgery can help men avoid urine leakage afterward. About 30 men with an enlarged prostate will either do exercises before surgery or get standard care. The goal is to see if patients and doctors find the ex…

This study tests whether placing a Urolift device in the prostate before stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) can reduce urinary side effects like frequent urination, pain, and nighttime trips to the bathroom. About 20 men with both prostate cancer and benign prostatic hype…

This study looks at whether starting pelvic floor physical therapy before prostate surgery (HoLEP) helps men regain bladder control more quickly after the procedure. About 72 men who are already scheduled for HoLEP to treat an enlarged prostate will be randomly assigned to start …

This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for treating an enlarged prostate (BPH) in 120 men aged 50 and older. The goal is to see which treatment—UroLift or Rezūm—leads to fewer catheters, less need for repeat procedures, and lower medication use over 12 months. The …

This study aimed to see if giving Botox injections into the bladder at the same time as HoLEP prostate surgery could improve urinary symptoms in men with an enlarged prostate and overactive bladder. The plan was to compare symptom scores and urine flow between men who got both tr…

This study looks at how men weigh the benefits of improved urination against changes in sexual function after a prostate surgery called HoLEP. Researchers will interview participants and ask them to complete questionnaires over two years. The goal is to understand what matters mo…

This study tests a web-based tool called WellPrept that gives patients clear information before their urology procedures. Researchers want to see if it helps patients feel more confident and understand their condition better, and if it shortens clinic visits. About 300 men and wo…
