Botox injection before prostate removal for high-risk prostate cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether injecting a nerve-blocking medication (Botox) into the prostate before surgery helps improve outcomes for men with high-risk prostate cancer. It's a way to possibly make the cancer easier to treat and reduce side effects during and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 45 or older.
- You have prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 8 or higher (this means the cancer looks more aggressive).
- You are scheduled to have your prostate removed with robotic surgery (RALP) as your main treatment.
- You have not had prior treatment for prostate cancer (like radiation, hormone therapy, or chemotherapy).
- You are generally healthy enough to participate (can do daily activities).

This trial tests whether giving hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy) before surgery can improve outcomes for men with high-risk prostate cancer. You will receive a special PSMA PET/CT scan to see how the cancer responds.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether pembrolizumab plus a hormone “androgen axis” blocker taken before prostate surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, non-metastatic prostate cancer. It’s designed for patients who are planning prostate removal with an extended lymph node dissection.
This trial compares two nerve-sparing surgery techniques for prostate cancer to see which one better protects urinary control and sexual function while still removing the cancer. It may help men with early-stage prostate cancer who are planning to have robotic surgery.
This trial tests an injection called STM-416p given during prostate removal surgery to see if it can help prevent prostate cancer from coming back. It may be an option for men with intermediate to high-risk prostate cancer who are already planning to have their prostate removed.
This study looks at how your health before surgery affects your erectile function after robot-assisted prostate removal. It aims to help doctors predict and improve recovery of erectile function.
This trial studies giving hormone treatment and radiation before prostate surgery to treat high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer. It aims to improve cancer control by shrinking or controlling the tumor before removing it.
