Research Trial - Enlarged Prostate

The Urology Team Research Department is currently conducting a clinical research study that offers a single injection for BPH treatment. The goal is to establish whether a single injection of the investigational drug that is being tested could replace a daily regimen of pills.

Symptoms

If you are at least 45 years old, have Prostate Problems, urinate often, have a weak urine stream or hesitant urine flow, having trouble sleeping through the night without having to urinate, and feel that your bladder is not completely empty after you urinate, you may qualify if you have had these symptoms for a year.

Study Design

This study consists of 10 study visits over the course of a year. 5 of these 10 study visits occur within the first 10 days of the study. This study is also posted on clinicaltrials.gov. Please use this link below to access this posting for more study details:
