Platelet Rich Plasma During Radical Prostatectomy

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Other: Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma
Device: Angel Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma System
Registration Number
NCT02957149
Lead Sponsor
Matthew Gettman
Brief Summary

Can platelet rich plasma applied to nerve bundles at time of surgery help the nerve bundles heal? Subjects undergoing a Radical Prostatectomy who meet study inclusion/exclusion criteria will be consented to receive an intraoperative application of platelet-rich plasma, made from their own blood at the time of surgery, for application onto their neurovascular bundles in an effort to improve the healing process. Subjects will be followed for an additional 18 months to determine the efficacy and safety of this procedure.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) TreatmentAutologous Platelet-Rich PlasmaPlatelets that are collected from the subject during the radical prostatectomy, for prostate cancer. The Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma is concentrated in a device (Angel Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma System) to 1,000,000 platelets/mL and applied topically once to the neurovascular bundle during the surgery.
