Prostate surgery trial keeping the urethra intact
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a robot-assisted prostate surgery method that aims to preserve the entire urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) to help maintain continence. It's for men with low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer who haven't had prior prostate treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are expected to live at least 10 more years based on your overall health.
- You have not had any prior treatment for prostate problems, like laser surgery, TURP, or focal therapy.
- You have never had radiation to your pelvis or prostate, or had major surgery in your belly or rectum.
- You have not had a stroke or a brain event that caused lasting symptoms, and you don't have a neurological disease like Parkinson's.
- Your PSA level is 15 or lower, your prostate is 80 mL or smaller, and your biopsy shows a low or intermediate cancer grade (ISUP 1, 2, or 3).
- Your biopsy had at least 12 samples taken from both sides of the prostate, and you have had an MRI if your cancer grade is 3+4 or higher.

This trial compares a new robotic surgical technique (with a special urethra repair) to standard robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery for men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see which approach best preserves urinary control.
This study looks at a robotic prostate operation that aims to remove only the affected side while keeping the urethra (the tube for urination) to help preserve urinary function. It’s for people with low- to intermediate-risk, one-sided prostate cancer and no spread to lymph nodes, bones, or other organs.
This trial tests a new way to rebuild the urethra during robot-assisted prostate removal surgery for prostate cancer. It may help people whose cancer hasn't spread too far or has been reduced enough for surgery.
This trial tests whether a new imaging technique (PSMA-PET/MRI fused with ultrasound) helps surgeons perform more precise robotic prostate removal in men with prostate cancer that has started to spread outside the gland. It aims to improve cancer control and reduce side effects.
This trial is testing a new surgical technique to help the muscles that support the bladder recover after prostate cancer surgery. It may help men who are having robot-assisted prostate removal to regain better bladder control afterward.
This trial compares two nerve-sparing techniques during robotic prostatectomy to see which better preserves urinary and sexual function while still effectively removing the cancer. It is for men with early-stage, favorable-risk prostate cancer who are good surgical candidates.
