NCT ID NCT03258658
First seen May 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-phase trial tests whether a lab-grown urethra made from a patient's own cells can safely repair urethral strictures (narrowing of the urine tube) in adult men. Ten participants will receive the engineered tissue, and researchers will monitor for side effects and improvements in urine flow. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works before larger studies.
