About this study

Official title: Prospective Registry of Outcomes With Penile Prosthesis for Erectile Restoration (PROPPER)

The purpose of this observational registry is to collect and better understand "real-world" outcomes for men undergoing penile implant surgery to treat erectile dysfunction.

Read the detailed description

A prospective, multi-center, observational registry to be conducted at multiple sites throughout the United States and Canada, to collect "real-world" penile prosthetic outcomes according to investigators' standard of care. Using questionnaires as well as electronic data collection, investigating physicians will prospectively measure patient responses at regular intervals over a one- to five year period. The physician researchers have identified key metrics for the study including effectiveness, durability, complications, and patient satisfaction; quality of life will also be analyzed, being defined through several validated patient surveys.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Penile Prosthesis Overall Subject Satisfaction

    Penile prosthesis overall subject satisfaction (effectiveness objective 1) measured using a non-validated, standard question, evaluated overall and by penile prosthesis.

    Measured: 1 year, post-implantation

  2. Number of Participants With Penile Prosthesis That Are Using the Device

    Number of subjects using penile prosthesis at 1 year (effectiveness objective 1) measured using a non-validated, standard question, evaluated overall and by penile prosthesis.

    Measured: 1 year, post implantation

  3. Number of Participants With Penile Prosthesis That Are Using the Device Indicating How Often Their Use is.

    Penile prosthesis use at year (effectiveness objective 1) measured using a non-validated, standard question, evaluated overall and by penile prosthesis.

    Measured: 1 year, post implantation

  4. Number of Times Per Month Participants With Penile Prosthesis Are Using the Device.

    Penile prosthesis use at 1 year measured in number of times per month (effectiveness objective 1) measured using a non-validated, standard question, evaluated overall and by penile prosthesis.

    Measured: 1 year, post implantation

  5. Number of Participants With Penile Prosthesis That Were Not Using the Device, Reasons for Non-use

    Penile prosthesis reasons for non-use at 1 year (effectiveness objective 1) measured using a non-validated, standard question, evaluated overall and by penile prosthesis.

    Measured: 1 year, post implantation

  6. Number of Participants With Penile Prosthesis Using the Device But Not as Often as Desired

    Number of penile prosthesis subjects using the device but indicated that they were not using as often as desired (effectiveness objective 1) measured using a non-validated, standard question, evaluated overall and by penile prosthesis.

    Measured: 1 year, post implantation

  7. Number of Participants With Penile Prosthesis That Are Using the Device Less Than Desired or Dissatisfied - Reason Device Used Less Than Desired or Dissatisfied

    Reason why subject is using penile prosthesis less than desired or dissatisfied (effectiveness objective 1) measured using a non-validated, standard question, evaluated overall and by penile prosthesis.

    Measured: 1 year, post implantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Erectile Dysfunction and Impotence, run by Boston Scientific Corporation at 11 sites in 2 countries.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. 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 12 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States, Canada. 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.

Are results available for this study?

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?

Number of Participants With Penile Prosthesis Overall Subject Satisfaction (time frame: 1 year, post-implantation). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 Feb 2021.
