This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study

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.

Summary

This study looks at whether adding local anesthesia (numbing medicine) during a prostate biopsy, while patients are already sedated, reduces pain after the procedure. About 800 men will take part. The goal is to see if this simple change can lower pain scores, cut down on painkiller use, and help people go home sooner.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Local anesthesia (lidocaine or similar)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could make prostate biopsies much less painful and speed up recovery for many men.
What could go wrong
This is a large phase 3 trial, but the benefit may be small or not apply to everyone. Local anesthesia also carries rare risks like allergic reactions or nerve issues.
