Recipient: Must have completed a clinic appointment with one of the study surgeons to discuss all penile reconstructive options
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up transplantation through end of study period ( 5 years)

Study Summary
This trial will study the effects of a cell-based immunomodulatory protocol for penile allotransplantation. The goal is to demonstrate superior outcomes compared to satisfaction and quality of life in conventional phalloplasty patients.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for males aged 18-69 who have lost most of their penis due to injury or cancer. Donors must be brain-dead, a blood type match, stable without strong drugs to maintain blood pressure, and with family consent. Recipients should closely match the donor's skin tone.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests penile allotransplantation using immunosuppression (tacrolimus) and humanized anti-CD52 antibodies. It aims to achieve graft survival with reduced immunosuppression and compare outcomes with traditional reconstructions in terms of function and quality of life.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include those related to immunosuppressants like tacrolimus such as increased infection risk, possible organ damage, diabetes, high blood pressure, and nervous system issues.
