NCT ID NCT05366842

First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tested whether placing a special placental tissue over nerves during prostate cancer surgery helps men recover erections and bladder control faster. Only 3 men with early-stage prostate cancer and good pre-surgery sexual function took part. The study was stopped early, so we don't have clear results.
