Microwave treatment under local anesthesia for prostate sampling
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way of doing a prostate tissue sampling (called Koelis TMA) using microwave energy while you stay awake under local anesthesia. The goal is to make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be scheduled for a Koelis TMA procedure (a way to take tissue samples from the prostate).
- You must be able to have anesthesia or sedation safely.
- You must not have had a heart attack, stroke, or serious heart condition in the last 6 months.
- You must not have a bleeding disorder or be taking medicine that prevents blood from clotting.

This study tests a new, less invasive way to treat lung cancer using microwave energy delivered through a thin tube inserted into the airway. It is for people with small, confirmed lung tumors who are already being considered for surgery, and who cannot or prefer not to have blood thinners.
This study tests a new, less invasive treatment using targeted microwave ablation (TMA) to destroy prostate cancer tumors. It is designed for men with early-stage, low to intermediate-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread, offering a possible alternative to surgery or radiation.
This study looks at two ways to improve prostate procedures: 1) whether adding local anesthesia during a biopsy (while you’re already sedated) makes a difference, and 2) whether a standard care plan before and after focal gland ablation helps recovery compared to usual care.
This study uses a special kind of MRI to better “map” prostate cancer inside the prostate. Researchers compare the MRI results with the detailed tissue exam after prostate surgery to see how accurate the imaging is.
This trial collects tumor samples from men with prostate cancer to study the bacteria and other microbes inside the tumor. It aims to learn how these microbes might affect the cancer and treatment.
This trial tests if a special catheter that numbs the prostate (Schelin catheter) works better than standard local anesthesia during Rezum, a steam treatment for enlarged prostate. It aims to make the procedure less painful for men with bothersome urinary symptoms.
