Teverelix for enlarged prostate and sudden urinary retention
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a medication called teverelix that may help shrink an enlarged prostate and improve urinary function after a sudden inability to urinate. It aims to reduce the chances of needing surgery or a catheter again.

This trial tests whether increasing your prostate medication (tamsulosin) or switching to a different medication (silodosin) helps you urinate normally again after a sudden blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. The goal is to help you avoid long-term catheter use.
This trial tests whether adding tadalafil to tamsulosin helps men pass a catheter removal test after a first-time urinary blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. The goal is to find which treatment works best to avoid needing a catheter again.
This trial tests whether giving tamsulosin (a medicine that helps relax urine flow) around the time of a prostate biopsy can improve urination problems that sometimes happen after the biopsy. It may help you avoid discomfort and bladder issues after the procedure.
This study tests a new injectable medication (teverelix DP) that lowers a hormone called testosterone to help control advanced prostate cancer. It is for men who haven't had hormone therapy before and who are otherwise relatively healthy.
This trial tests whether combining two medicines works better than one alone for easing urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. If you have bothersome symptoms and a larger prostate, this study may help you find a more effective treatment.
This study tests a combination of two medicines in a single pill to see if they work better together to reduce frequent urination and sudden urges in men with an enlarged prostate. The goal is to improve quality of life by easing these bothersome symptoms.
