Study Summary

This trial will test if a new surgical technique can help reduce the time it takes for men to recover sexual and urinary function after surgery for prostate cancer.

Who is the study for?
Men aged 30-70 with organ-confined prostate cancer, no erectile dysfunction, and good urinary function are eligible. They must be scheduled for nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy, agree to follow-up visits and instructions, and have not had certain prior treatments or surgeries.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if using CLARIX® CORD 1K during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy can speed up the return of complete erectile and urinary function post-surgery. Participants will provide feedback on their sexual and urinary health after the procedure.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed for this trial, typical risks may include surgical complications like infection or bleeding, reaction to materials used in surgery (CLARIX® CORD), and potential delays in recovery of erectile/urinary functions.
