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 Phase 1 study tests a lab-made tissue approach to help repair penile scar damage after injury, infection, inflammation, or scarring conditions. It is designed to see if the treatment can safely improve structural problems and symptoms over follow-up visits.
This study compares doing a graft in the first versus the second step of a two-stage urethral repair in men with a penile urethral narrowing. It uses oral lining tissue as the graft and aims to see which timing approach works best for healing and function.
This study compares two surgical techniques to repair a short (2 cm or less) narrowing in the bulbar urethra. It aims to see which method works better for men with non-traumatic strictures.
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.
