Prostate surgery antibiotic study pulled before start
NCT ID NCT05274672
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are available.
