Start your on-boarding for the study by completing the brief form at malecare.org/restore

•You can live anywhere in the USA to participate.

•You can complete the study from the comfort of your home.

•The trial asks how to best help gay and bisexual men having difficulty with urinary and or sexual functioning.

The Restore Study is a NIH/NCI funded clinical trial conducted by researchers from Malecare and the University of Minnesota.

Doctors don’t know what will work for gay and bisexual with prostate cancer because there are no evidence-based studies.

There are 614 studies focused on heterosexual men, but their findings may not generalize to gay and bisexual men with prostate cancer. We have created an evidence-based study to understand best practices to improve urinary and sexual function for gay and bisexual men who have been treated for prostate cancer.

If you match these criteria and are considering joining the study, please fill in the form at malecare.org/restore .

You'll get an email or a phone call from either Morgan or Chris. I don't think we'll start those contacts until mid to late next week at the earliest. PLEASE Tell other Gay and Bisexual men about our study....we are eager to fully accrue within the next few weeks.

Thanks. I submitted my contact info on the form you linked to last weekend but haven't received any kind of acknowledgement. Should I follow-up somehow or just take a chill pill and wait to hear from someone?

With most of us on vacation, you won’t hear from anyone until the end of July. Sorry for the delay
