Urethral Stricture

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of clostridium histolyticum collagenase (XIAFLEX®) in treating urethral strictures.

Detailed description

This is an open-label, pilot study to explore the efficacy of clostridium histolyticum collagenase (XIAFLEX®) in treating urethral strictures. Subjects will be followed for 2 years from the initial drug treatment.

Interventions

DRUGClostridium Histolyticum Collagenase

0.08ml of XIAFLEX® (0.58 mg of XIAFLEX® mixed with 0.39 mL of sterile diluent) in a single location within the stricture, chased by an additional 0.25 mL of reconstituted XIAFLEX® to allow for clearance of the original 0.08 mL of reconstituted XIAFLEX® from the transurethral syringe into the urethral stricture. This is based on 0.25 mL residual fluid that remains within the lumen of the injeTAK syringe. Thus, by adding the additional 0.25 mL of XIAFLEX® as a chase, we are expecting the original total of 0.08 mL of XIAFLEX® to be injected into the area of scarring.
