BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA

This study tests whether giving tranexamic acid (a drug that helps blood clot) before prostate surgery can reduce blood loss and prevent anemia in older men. About 80 men with enlarged prostates will receive either the drug or a placebo. The goal is to see if this simple approach…

This study tests a new approach called Bioblation, where doctors perform a prostate biopsy and laser treatment in one session for men with severe urinary symptoms and suspected low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to relieve symptoms quickly and reduce the need …

This study tests a new wearable device that uses harmless electrical signals to monitor how well the bladder empties in men with an enlarged prostate. The device is worn on the lower belly and aims to replace inconvenient clinic-based urine flow tests. Forty participants will use…

This study compares two minimally invasive procedures—water vapor therapy (Rezūm) and laser ablation (EchoLaser)—for treating an enlarged prostate that has an enlarged middle lobe. The goal is to see which treatment better improves urinary symptoms and flow over 6 months. The stu…

This study looks at whether a chair called Emsella can help men who have temporary stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing or sneezing) after a common prostate surgery (HoLEP) for an enlarged prostate. About 30 men with moderate-to-large prostates will receive Em…

This study compares two common prostate medications, silodosin and tamsulosin, to see which one better relieves moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. About 140 men aged 50 and older will take each drug for four weeks in a crossover design, with no wa…

This study looks at whether a 12-week program of pelvic floor exercises, extra health information, and mental health support before prostate surgery can help men recover faster and have less incontinence afterward. About 40 men will be split into two groups: one gets standard car…

This study tests a gel called PuraStat to see if it can reduce bleeding after a prostate procedure called Aquablation. The goal is to help patients go home the same day instead of staying overnight. About 25 men with an enlarged prostate will take part.

This study explores whether a protein in urine, called CTGF, can help doctors predict how well men with an enlarged prostate will recover after surgery. Researchers will measure CTGF levels before surgery and compare them to bladder function afterward. The goal is to find a non-i…

This early-stage study tests two different forms of a drug (AD-116 and AD-1161) in 44 healthy adult men to see how they are processed in the body and if they are safe. The study does not treat any disease. It is designed to gather information on drug levels and safety under fasti…

This study will follow 500 Beijing residents aged 60 and older to see how urinary function (like bladder and kidney health) is linked to multiple chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. Participants will have regular health check-ups, blood an…
