Glue vs beads for enlarged prostate artery treatment
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares using medical glue versus tiny beads to block blood flow to the prostate, which can shrink it and improve urine flow. It is for men whose enlarged prostate symptoms have not improved with medication.
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 prostate volume of at least 40 ml on MRI.
- Your urinary symptoms score (IPSS) is 8 or higher.
- Your peak urine flow rate is less than 15 ml per second.
- You have tried or cannot take standard medications for BPH.
- You do not have prostate or bladder cancer, active infection, or severe kidney failure.

This trial tests a new, less invasive treatment for enlarged prostate (BPH) that uses ultrasound and heat to shrink the part of the prostate blocking urine flow. It aims to improve urinary symptoms and avoid the need for more invasive surgery.
This trial compares artery embolization (blocking blood flow to the prostate) with standard surgery for urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It may help patients who have moderate-to-severe bladder outlet symptoms and are looking for a treatment option when medicine didn’t work (or they don’t want medicine).
This Phase 3 study tests whether treating the arteries feeding the prostate can reduce urinary symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It may help men whose BPH symptoms persist despite (or can’t be treated with) usual medications.
This trial tests a new device called the FloStent, a small tube placed in the urine channel to help men with an enlarged prostate pee more easily. It's for men who have moderate to severe symptoms and haven't had prostate surgery before.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for treating an enlarged prostate (BPH) when medication hasn't worked. It looks at which method—bipolar TURP or bipolar enucleation—may be safer and more effective for men with moderate to severe symptoms.
This trial compares two laser treatments for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) in men whose symptoms did not improve with medicine. It may help find which laser approach works better for improving urine flow and symptom relief.
