Could a simple implant spare men from urinary pain after prostate radiation?
NCT ID NCT05148156
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether placing a Urolift device in the prostate before stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) can reduce urinary side effects like frequent urination, pain, and nighttime trips to the bathroom. About 20 men with both prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) will receive the Urolift and then SBRT. Researchers will track symptom scores and quality of life for one year to see if the device helps.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Urolift device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a way to reduce urinary problems after prostate radiation, improving quality of life for men with BPH.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study (20 people) that is currently suspended. It may not show a clear benefit, and results may not apply to all patients.
