Beacon platform study for prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new surgical platform called Beacon during HoLEP, a common procedure to treat enlarged prostate symptoms. It may help men with difficulty urinating due to an enlarged prostate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be male and at least 45 years old.
- You have trouble urinating or can't urinate because your prostate is enlarged.
- Your prostate size is between 40 and 120 cc (about the size of a small apple to a large peach), measured by ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan in the last year.
- You are scheduled to have a procedure called HoLEP to treat your prostate.
- You can stop taking blood thinners like warfarin or clopidogrel a few days before the procedure (low-dose aspirin is okay).
