Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?Compare key clinical outcomes between controls and men treated with a novel CCH administration protocol among men previously unresponsive to CCH administration.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

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.

What data supports the idea that Novel CCH Protocol for Peyronie's Disease is an effective treatment?

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.

What safety data is available for CCH treatment in Peyronie's disease?

Safety 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.

Is the drug CCH a promising treatment for Peyronie's Disease?

Yes, 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.

Eligibility Criteria

Men over 18 with Peyronie's Disease who've had little improvement from previous CCH treatments can join. They must have a significant curve in their penis (β‰₯30 degrees), no past penile surgery except circumcision, and be able to get an erection suitable for sex. Severe plaque calcification or inability to complete the treatment disqualifies them.

Inclusion Criteria

I have completed 6-8 injections for my condition.
I am a man with Peyronie's Disease.
I can have an erection good enough for sex, with or without medication.
+5 more

Exclusion Criteria

I have no health conditions that prevent me from receiving CCH treatment.
I have had surgery on my penis, not including circumcision.
Severe plaque calcification (i.e. >1 cm shadowing)
+1 more

Participant Groups

The trial is testing a new way of giving CCH injections compared to the old method among men whose Peyronie's Disease didn't respond well before. It includes using a device called RestoreX after not responding to at least 6-8 prior CCH injections without this device.
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Collagenase Clostridium HistolyticumExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Men in this cohort would undergo baseline assessments followed by up to 8 injections of CCH (or until curvature is \<15 degrees). Men would then undergo assessments 6 weeks later, followed by a 6-month no treatment phase and then final assessments.
Group II: Control - Crossover to CCHActive Control2 Interventions
Men in this cohort would undergo baseline assessments followed by no treatment for 6 months and then repeat assessments. Men would then cross-over to CCH treatment and undergo up to 8 injections (or until curvature is \<15 degrees). Final assessments would then be performed 6 weeks following the final injection.

CCH administration is already approved in United States, European Union, Canada for the following indications:

A modified technique for intralesional injection of collagenase Clostridium histolyticum for Peyronie's disease results in reduced procedural morbidity using a standardized hematoma classification rubric. [2021]Early clinical trials of injectable collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCh) for Peyronie's disease (PD) demonstrated safety and efficacy. Since then, modified injection protocols have been proposed. Adverse events-such as bruising, swelling, hematoma, and corporal rupture-exceed 50% in many studies, but lack of standardization of hematoma severity limits conclusions about the relative safety of protocols. We propose a modification of the standard injection technique that aims to decrease the rates of adverse events. We further describe a hematoma classification rubric that may standardize safety assessment.
