Bladder tissue growth study for prostate surgery patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study takes small tissue samples during a standard prostate surgery (TURP) to try to grow new bladder lining in the lab. It may help develop future treatments for bladder problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a procedure called TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate), which removes part of the prostate through the urethra.
- Your prostate is estimated to weigh at least 30 grams (about the size of a walnut or larger) based on an ultrasound.
- You are over 18 years old.
- You are covered by a social security system.
- You agree to let researchers use a small piece of tissue removed during the surgery for this study.

This trial studies a redesigned surgical instrument used during bladder tumor removal, to see if it can improve how the removed tissue samples are collected. It may help future patients by supporting better study of bladder tissue during cancer care.
This study looks at how well a standard prostate surgery (TURP) works in men who have trouble emptying their bladder completely due to an enlarged prostate. It aims to see if the bladder muscle's strength affects the surgery's success.
This study collects clinical and tissue samples from people who are having surgery for bladder cancer and related urinary-tract tumors. It aims to improve understanding of cancer and may help future care by building a large research dataset.
This study collects and studies blood and, when possible, small tissue samples from people with prostate or bladder/urothelial cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to better understand these cancers and support future research that may lead to better care.
This trial tests a new surgical technique during laparoscopic prostate removal to help patients regain bladder control (urinary continence) faster. It's for men with early-stage prostate cancer who are good candidates for surgery.
This trial tests whether removing bladder stones together with prostate surgery improves outcomes for men with an enlarged prostate and bladder stones. It aims to see if doing both at once is better than just removing the stones.
