Clinical Research

Before a new medical treatment can be marketed, manufacturers must show, through adequate and well-controlled clinical studies, that it is safe and effective.

Participation in clinical research trials enables our physicians to gain insight and experience in many areas of leading-edge technology and pharmaceutical development. Our contribution to significant advances in the area of genitourinary research is in keeping with our goal to bring the newest and most advanced treatments and procedures to our patients.

Research trials at Urology of Indiana are conducted with the highest level of honesty and integrity. While contributions to a patient’s health and well-being are important, patient safety and privacy are our priorities. We enroll qualified individuals in studies including but not limited to the following categories:

  • Urinary Incontinence
  • Impotence or Erectile Dysfunction
  • Prostate Disorders
  • Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH)
  • Stress Urinary Incontinence
  • Over Active Bladder
  • Complicated Urinary Tract Infection
  • Acute Urinary Retention

We are currently conducting the following clinical trials:
