U.S., April 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07555964) titled 'Comparing Clean Intermittent Self-catheterization and Indwelling Catheterization for the Management of Urinary Retention Before BPH Surgery.' on April 03.

Brief Summary: The CATHETERS trial is a multicenter, randomized, open-label superiority study comparing two methods of managing urinary retention before surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): clean intermittent self-catheterization (ICSC) versus indwelling catheter (IDC).
