Erectile Dysfunction, Peyronie Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this research is to determine whether or not low-intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT) with Xiaflex treatment will result in greater improvements to the curvature of the penis.
Interventions
Total of 8 Intralesional injection (0.90 mg), administered as four separate injection series. Within each series, subjects will receive two injections, administered approximately 1-7 days apart.
Single low intensity shockwave therapy consistent of 1,500 shocks at a rate of 120 shocks/minute and using a power setting of 0.09 mJ/mm2. These treatments will occur four separate times, before each of the four separate CCH injection series.

Inclusion criteria
• Diagnosed with PD * Palpable penile plaque * Dorsal, lateral, or dorsolateral penile curvature * Penile curvature \> 30 degrees and \< 90 degrees as measured using goniometer during objective curvature assessment * Non-calcified plaque or grade 1 calcification (stippling, no shadowing) as determined by penile duplex Doppler ultrasound (PDDU) * Stable PD symptoms' defined as PD symptom duration \> 6-months or stable symptoms \> 3-months
Exclusion criteria
* Prior intralesional injections or surgery for PD. * Severe baseline penile pain. * Moderate or severe baseline ED based on IIEF-EF domain. * History of low intensity shockwave therapy for sexual dysfunction (ED or PD). * Ventral (downward) or ventrolateral penile curvature. * Moderate or severe (grade 2/3) plaque calcification as determined by PDDU. * Inability to achieve satisfactory erection rigidity at time of baseline curvature assessment.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in symptom bother | Baseline, 6 weeks | Measured using the validated Peyronie's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ) subdomain symptom bother. Four questions to evaluate pain or discomfort during vaginal intercourse: responses include not at all bothered, a little bit bothered , moderately bothered, very bothered, extremely bothered |
| Change in penetrative sexual intercourse | Baseline, 6 weeks | Measured using self-reported question: Over the past 4 weeks: When you attempted intercourse, how often were you able to penetrate (enter) your partner? Responses include no sexual activity, almost never or never , a few times (less than half the time), sometimes (about half the time), Most times (more than half the time), almost always or always. |
| Surgical straightening intervention | 6 weeks | Number of subjects to require surgical straightening |
| Change in erectile function | Baseline, 6 weeks | Measured using the International Index of erectile Function |
| Change in Erectile Function Domain (IIEF-EF) | Baseline, 6 weeks | — |
