What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares two surgical methods for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. The trial involves 140 men aged 50-80 with prostates of 80 mL or larger who are candidates for holmium laser enucleation. One group receives the standard three-lobe technique, while the other undergoes an inverted-T incision with early apical release. The main goal is to see which technique reduces operation time, with secondary measures including blood loss and laser energy used.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
holmium laser enucleation
What this could lead to
If one technique proves faster or safer, it could become the preferred surgical approach for men with enlarged prostates.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study with 140 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or surgeons. Both techniques are already established, so major breakthroughs are unlikely.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 140 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Mar 2026

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
