Urine markers for enlarged prostate check
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at two natural substances in urine (BDNF and NGF) to see if they can help doctors understand how the lower urinary tract is working in men with an enlarged prostate. It is a simple, non-invasive test that may lead to better ways to diagnose and treat bladder problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 50 and 80 years old.
- You have a blockage in your bladder outlet because of an enlarged prostate (BPH).
- You do not have a known neurological disease like Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis.
- You do not have diabetes.
- You do not have a current urinary tract infection.
- You have not had any previous prostate surgery, bladder stones, or serious kidney problems.

This trial compares three different surgical techniques to treat enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) in men whose prostate is larger than 80 grams. The goal is to see which method works best over one year.
This trial looks at a protein called CTGF in urine to find out if it can help diagnose blockage from an enlarged prostate. It may help men with this condition who plan to have surgery.
This trial tests a new medicine (DNN.65.21.005) to see if it helps men with an enlarged prostate who have trouble urinating. It may be an option if you are 50 or older and have symptoms like needing to go often or having a weak stream.
This study looks at whether certain substances in your urine (called neurotrophins) can help doctors better understand overactive bladder (OAB). You will give a urine sample and answer some questions to help researchers find a simple, noninvasive way to confirm OAB.
This study looks for new urine markers (signals) that could help screen for prostate cancer. If you have a higher PSA blood test and are scheduled for a prostate biopsy, your urine sample may be studied to see if it can improve screening.
This study looks for urine markers (proteins and metabolites) that may help predict how prostate cancer patients respond to treatment and what their outcomes are. You may be asked to give a urine sample and allow use of your medical and treatment details for analysis (results are not shared with you).
