Novel CCH Protocol for Peyronie's Disease
Trial Summary
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you can continue using PDE5 inhibitors if needed for satisfactory erections.
The available research shows that the Novel CCH Protocol, which involves using a drug called collagenase Clostridium histolyticum, is effective for treating Peyronie's Disease. Studies have shown that this treatment can help reduce the curvature of the penis, which is a common problem in this condition. For example, one study found that men treated with this drug experienced improvements in their condition over a long period, up to five years. Another study highlighted that even in cases with different types of penile deformities, the treatment was effective and safe. However, it's important to note that some patients may not respond to the treatment and might need surgery. Overall, the data supports that this drug is a beneficial option for many patients with Peyronie's Disease.
12345Safety data for CCH treatment in Peyronie's disease comes from multiple clinical studies. A pooled safety analysis of six studies showed that patients receiving CCH injections experienced adverse events such as bruising, swelling, hematoma, and corporal rupture in over 50% of cases. However, modified injection techniques and protocols have been proposed to reduce these adverse events. The safety and efficacy of CCH, marketed as Xiaflex, have been demonstrated in clinical trials, and new protocols aim to improve safety by reducing the number of injections and standardizing safety assessments.
56789Yes, CCH is a promising treatment for Peyronie's Disease. It has been shown to effectively reduce penile curvature and improve the condition in patients. Studies have demonstrated its success in treating different types of curvature and its long-term safety.
