Antibiotics to prevent infection after prostate biopsy
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking antibiotics before a prostate biopsy (a needle procedure to check for cancer) reduces infections. You would receive either standard care or a specific antibiotic plan, and researchers will track any infections that develop.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study is testing an approach to find prostate cancer earlier in men who may be at higher risk. If you fit the criteria, you may get an mpMRI scan before undergoing a prostate biopsy to check for cancer.
This trial tests whether taking antibiotics for a shorter time before prostate surgery works as well as the usual longer course. It aims to reduce antibiotic use and side effects while keeping infections low.
This trial tests whether taking antibiotics for 24 hours before urological endoscopic surgery reduces the risk of infection in patients who have bacteria in their urine but no symptoms. It may help prevent complications after the procedure.
This trial tests whether giving preventive antibiotics before bladder removal surgery reduces infections. If you have muscle-invasive bladder cancer and are having your bladder removed, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether applying routine probe compression after a transrectal prostate biopsy can reduce bleeding and infection complications. It may help improve recovery and safety for men undergoing their first prostate biopsy.
