New liquid embolic shows promise for prostate troubles
NCT ID NCT07255508
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a liquid material called SQUIDPERI for a procedure that blocks blood flow to the prostate (prostatic artery embolization) in men with an enlarged prostate. The goal is to see if it works better than standard particles at easing urinary symptoms like frequent or weak urination. About 100 men will take part, and success is measured by symptom scores at 3 months.
