Starch powder to reduce bleeding in prostate surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether applying a dissolvable starch powder (Arister) inside the pelvis during robot-assisted prostate cancer surgery reduces post-surgery bleeding. It is for men whose surgeons plan to spare the nerves controlling erections and who have moderate erectile function beforehand.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 68 years old.
- You have prostate cancer and will have robot-assisted prostate removal.
- Your surgeon plans to spare the nerves around your prostate (on one or both sides).
- You have good bladder control before surgery (no leakage).
- Your erectile function score before surgery is between 8 and 16 (moderate to mild impairment).
