View Full Description

Full Description

This is a Phase 2, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial assessing the safety of Q-Urol use after brachytherapy placement in patients with localized prostate cancer. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receiveQ-Urol/Placebo twice daily for 6 weeks after brachytherapy placement. Questionnaires will be administered pre- and post-treatment to assess the change in prostatitis symptoms and quality of life measures. The mean values between groups will be compared.
