Testing a personalized urethra repair made from your own tissue
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This early study tests whether an engineered urethral patch made from your own body tissue is safe and workable for urethral strictures (narrowing that blocks urine flow). It is mainly looking for safety and how feasible the procedure and follow-up are, not proven cure yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a urethral stricture (narrowing) that is 15 to 60 mm long
- A small flexible scope (about 16 French) cannot be passed through the narrowed area without causing injury
- You can come to all required follow-up visits
- You can speak English
- Your stricture is not in the meatus or the prostate urethra, and it isn’t linked to urethral cancer or certain injury types
- You do not have an untreated urine infection and do not have certain skin/immune conditions (like lichen sclerosus)

This study tests a new way to repair damaged penile tissue using engineered tissue. It may help men who have not improved with other treatments.
This study is testing a new ultrasound measurement called the Urethral Resistive Index (URI) to see if it can accurately diagnose urethral stricture (a narrowing in the tube that carries urine out of the body). The goal is to find a less invasive way to diagnose blockages without needing a scope.
This study looks at a surgical procedure (urethroplasty) for a condition where the urethra becomes narrowed (urethral stricture). If you join, you will be asked to consent to take part and follow the study rules.
This study collects information from patients who have had surgery for a urethral stricture, which is a narrowing in the tube that carries urine out of the body. Being part of this study helps doctors learn more about different surgical treatments and their outcomes.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair a narrow part of the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). It aims to find which surgery gives better results for patients with a short (2 cm or less) stricture in the bulbar section, located behind the scrotum.
This trial compares using skin from your penis versus tissue from inside your cheek to fix a long, tight scar in the front portion of your urinary tube (urethra). It may help if you have this scar and past attempts to widen the tube have failed.
