Clinical Research Trials

Arkansas Urology has participated in 30-40 clinical research trials to date. These trials involve using drugs that are not yet available to the general public. The clinic participates in more urological research trials than any other clinic in the state. A dedicated staff, including physicians and nurse practitioners, oversees the clinic's trials.

There are usually about 10 trials that are open at a time. Arkansas Urology patients who participate receive free medications and medical care. They are often paid to participate in the drug study.

For patients, there are many benefits to participating in one of these clinical research trials. Participants are given treatment options that are not available to the public, giving them access to cutting-edge technology and medications.

Most of Arkansas Urology's studies are focused on prostate cancer, but studies also include conditions such as overactive bladder, sexual dysfunction and urinary tract infections. Prostate cancer prevention trials are also open.
