Epinephrine injection during prostate surgery for large prostates
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether injecting a drug called epinephrine into the prostate during surgery can improve outcomes for men with large prostates. It aims to reduce bleeding and make the surgery safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a type of prostate surgery called TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate).
- Your prostate size is between 80 and 100 grams (about the size of a large peach or bigger).
- You have tried medication for your prostate symptoms but it hasn't helped enough.
- You do not have severe heart problems, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or bleeding disorders.
- You have not taken finasteride or dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitors) in the last 3 months.

This trial tests two surgical approaches for enlarged prostate—one specifically designed to preserve the ability to ejaculate and a standard approach—in men with urinary symptoms who haven't improved with medication. You'll be asked about sexual and urinary function before and after surgery.
This study compares two surgical methods to treat severely enlarged prostate glands. In both, the surgeon removes extra prostate tissue to relieve blockages, and one method uses a special fluid to help separate the tissue more safely. If you're considering surgery for your prostate, this trial may offer a less invasive option.
This study compares two common procedures for treating an enlarged prostate, a condition where the prostate grows and blocks urine flow. One procedure removes part of the prostate through the urethra, while the other blocks the blood supply to shrink it.
This trial tests whether a one-time epinephrine medicine injection can help prevent delayed bleeding after an ERCP procedure called sphincterotomy. You may be considered if you had only brief bleeding right after the procedure and you don’t have certain bleeding-risk conditions.
This trial tests a short course of 'epigenetic therapy' (drugs that change how genes work) given before prostate removal surgery. The goal is to see if it can improve treatment effects and help shrink or control the tumor.
This trial compares two ways to remove prostate tissue in men with an enlarged prostate (BPH). It tests if cutting out the tissue (enucleation) works better than shaving it down (resection) to improve urine flow and symptoms.
