NCT ID NCT06434649
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways of doing robotic prostate surgery in men with intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer. One method enters from the back of the prostate, the other from the front. The goal is to see which approach better preserves urinary control and erectile function while still removing all cancer. About 118 men will take part across multiple hospitals.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
robotic surgery (posterior vs anterior approach)
What this could lead to
If one approach proves better, it could improve recovery of urinary control and erectile function after prostate cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study (118 participants) comparing surgical techniques, not testing a new drug. Results may not apply to all patients, and individual outcomes vary.
