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.

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).
This study tests a laser surgery to treat an enlarged prostate that is causing urinary problems. It uses a special laser to remove blocking tissue and may help improve symptoms and urine flow.
