Innovation & Research

Creating Tomorrow’s Therapies Today

Minnesota Urology physicians conduct a variety of clinical studies to bring the safest and most effective new urologic products and therapies to men and women suffering from urologic conditions.   

Research That Makes a Difference

At Minnesota Urology, we conduct a variety of clinical studies, from observational studies to large, randomized, controlled interventional clinical trials. We conduct Phase II and Phase III clinical trials that are especially important for getting new treatment options approved for clinical care. Our goal is to make a difference in the lives of our patients, both today and tomorrow.

Clinical Study of Neuspera’s Implantable Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS) System in Patients with Symptoms of Overactive Bladder

  • A prospective, multi-center, single-arm clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of sacral nerve modulation therapy provided by Neuspera’s implantable SNS device for the treatment of overactive bladder and urinary urgency incontinence.

Urinary Urgency Incontinence – Females

BlueWind RENOVA iStim™ for the Treatment of Overactive Bladder

  • A multi-center, prospective, interventional, single arm study to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of tibial neuromodulation therapy provided by the BlueWind RENOVA iStim™ in females for the treatment of urinary urgency incontinence alone or in combination with urinary urgency and/or urinary frequency.

Prostate Cancer – Males

Genetic Susceptibility and Management of Chronic Disease

  • A multi-center lab study to identify differentially expressed genes associated with prostate cancer and other types of cancer.

Prostate Cancer – Males

A Prospective, Non-randomized, Single-Blind, Multi-site Study for Supplemental Clinical Validation of the IsoPSA Assay
