About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center Study to Assess the AMS IPP 2005 Inflatable Penile Prosthesis Cylinders, Pump and Reservoir.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate modifications to the AMS 700 Series pump, cylinders, reservoir and rear tip extender design, their impact on ease of use for the patient, and ease of implantation for the physician.

Read the detailed description

Erectile dysfunction, the inability to attain or sustain a penile erection sufficient to permit satisfactory sexual intercourse, affects an estimated ten to 30 million men in the United States. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by many organic abnormalities, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, vascular disease, neurogenic disorders, and other chronic diseases. Erectile dysfunction can be effectively treated with a variety of methods, including the implantation of an inflatable penile prosthesis. A multi-center trial is to be conducted to assess the AMS IPP 2002 Inflatable Penile Prosthesis including handling during IPP implantation procedures and short-term follow-up experience of subjects. The study will collect pre-operative information comparing the pump operation using scrotal models of the current pump with the study pump, and baseline erectile function history. Surgical data will be collected to assess device design and procedure enhancements. Patient and physician assessment of study device function, ease of use, ease of training/learning, and adverse events will be gathered post-operatively.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AMS 700 IPP with MS Pump in people with Erectile Dysfunction, run by American Medical Systems at 7 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jul 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ease of Locating the Inflation Pump Bulb (time frame: 4-8 weeks). The study lists 27 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00636506, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jul 2019.
