Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Hyperplasia"

Many patients may face long-term urinary side effects following stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), including increased urinary frequency, dysuria, and nocturia. The investigator hypothesizes that Urolift, which represents a novel minimally invasive therapy, may reduce acute and long-term urinary toxicity and side effects of radiation therapy (SBRT).

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers for men in the U.S. There are some new ways to take pictures of the cancer. There are also new ways to use image-guided biopsy and therapy. These could help manage prostate cancer. Researchers want to study how imaging can provide a profile of prostate cancer. They want to collect data to make diagnosis and treatments better. Objectives: To gather data about the radiological and clinical course of prostate cancer. To study imaging-based biomarkers of prostate cancer. Eligibility: Men ages 18 and older with diagnosed or suspected prostate cancer Design: Participants will give permission for researchers to use their medical history and records. Their data will be reviewed, collected, and analyzed. These include results of their tests and scans. Sponsoring Institution: National Cancer Institute

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common performed surgical procedures in urology. Over the past few decades there have been an increasing development of newer surgical treatment options. Additionally, the outcome parameters for BPH treatments have been standardized. While data are available for the initial pivotal studies, post-market release data are lacking. Under the umbrella of uCARE, we have started a prospective, ongoing international registry for recording demographics and outcomes for patients undergoing surgical treatments for BPH.

This study is to linguistically and psychometrically validate the translated and culturally adapted Hong Kong Chinese version of the BPH 3-item questionnaire.

In this study, investigators aim to determine the true positivity of bladder cancer identified in the bladder base, trigone or neck on ultrasonography (USG) in patients presenting with hematuria or lower urinary tract symptoms, by confirming with the gold standard cystoscopy and biopsy results. It also aims to explore criteria that would allow to differentiate between intravesical prostate protrusion (IPP) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and bladder cancer indicated at the bladder floor, trigone and neck by evaluating false positive results.

With this study, it is aimed to compare the operative results and complication rates in transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) performed by resectoscopes with two different bipolar and a monopolar energy sources.

Specific Aim 1. To evaluate the efficacy of TNF antagonist action in BPH/LUTS Specific Aim 2. Define the consequences of TNF antagonist therapy on prostate tissue Specific Aim 3. Identify genetic predictors to stratify patients with differential response to TNF-antagonist therapy.

The HistoSonics' Histotripsy BPH Device, the Vortx Rx, is a portable ultrasound therapy device. The purpose of this study is to assess and monitor the performance of the Vortx Rx for initial safety and efficacy for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

The purpose of this study is to determine if transurethral photodynamic therapy with lemuteporfin has a therapeutic effect on lower urinary tract symptoms due to an enlarged prostate. Photodynamic therapy (known as "PDT") is a treatment that uses light to make a drug work. This means the drug is "light-activated". Light-activated drugs do not work until a certain color of light shines on the drug. When the drug and the light combine, they react together to destroy tissue. This study is investigating PDT with lemuteporfin as a possible treatment for an enlarged prostate. PDT with lemuteporfin may destroy overgrown prostate tissue and help urinary symptoms go back to normal.

To verify the safety and efficacy of the use of the plasma vaporisation button in Transurethral Vapor Enucleation and Resection of the prostate (TVERP) for treatment of Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) patients with prostate ˃30 and ≤80 ml compare to TURis or HoLEP surgery methods.
