Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • No subject should be enrolled until all eligibility criteria have been satisfied. Subjects who completed their participation in Auxilium-sponsored studies AUX-CC-803 or AUX-CC-804 and received placebo in that study may enroll in this study provided they continue to meet the eligibility requirements. To qualify for the study a subject must:
  • Have penile curvature of at least 30° in the dorsal, lateral, or dorsal/lateral plane at screening. It must be possible to delineate the single plane of maximal curvature for evaluation during the study
  • Be judged to be in good health, based upon the results of a medical history, physical examination,and laboratory profile
  • Have participated in Study AUX-CC-803 or Study AUX-CC-804, received placebo in that study,and completed that study
  • Voluntarily sign and date an informed consent agreement approved by the Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC). The subject must also sign an authorization form to allow disclosure of his protected health information (PHI). The PHI authorization form and informed consent form may be an integrated form or may be separate forms depending on the institution
  • Be able to read, complete and understand the various rating instruments in English.

Who cannot join

  • A subject will be excluded from study participation if he:
  • Has a penile curvature of less than 30° or greater than 90° at the screening visit
  • Has any of the following conditions:
  • Chordee in the presence or absence of hypospadias
  • Thrombosis of the dorsal penile artery and/or vein
  • Infiltration by a benign or malignant mass resulting in penile curvature
Show all 32Show fewer

  • Presence of an active sexually transmitted disease
  • Known active hepatitis B or C
  • Known immune deficiency disease or be positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
  • Has previously undergone surgery for Peyronie's disease

  • Has a calcified plaque as evident by appropriate radiographic evaluation, penile x-ray or penile ultrasound that would prevent proper injection of study medication. Non-contiguous stippling of calcium is acceptable for inclusion provided the calcium deposit does not interfere with the injection of AA4500 into the plaque
  • Has an isolated hourglass deformity of the penis
  • Has the plaque causing curvature of the penis located proximal to the base of the penis, so that the injection of the local anesthetic would interfere with the injection of AA4500 into the plaque
  • Has previously received alternative medical therapies for Peyronie's disease administered by the intralesional route (including, but not limited to, steroids, verapamil, and the naturally occurring low molecular weight protein, interferon-α2b) within 3 months before the first dose of study drug or plans to use any of these medical therapies at any time during the study
  • Has received alternative medical therapies for Peyronie's disease administered by the oral (including, but not limited to, vitamin E [>500 U], potassium aminobenzoate [Potaba], tamoxifen, colchicine, and pentoxifylline, ,) or topical routes (including, but not limited to, verapamil applied as a cream) within 3 months before the first dose of study drug or plans to use any of these medical therapies at any time during the study
  • Has had extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for the correction of Peyronie's disease within the 6-month period before screening or plans to have ESWT at any time during the study

  • Has uncontrolled hypertension, as determined by the investigator
  • Has a known recent history of stroke, bleeding, or other significant medical condition, which in the investigator's opinion would make the subject unsuitable for enrollment in the study
  • Has received an investigational drug or treatment within 30 days before the first dose of study drug, except for placebo in Studies AUX-CC-803 or AUX-CC-804
  • Has a known systemic allergy to collagenase or any other excipient of AA4500
  • Has a known allergy to any concomitant medication required as per the protocol
  • Has received anticoagulant medication (except for ≤ 150 mg aspirin daily) during the 7 days before each dose of study drug

  • Is unwilling or unable to cooperate with the requirements of the study including completion of all scheduled study visits

About this study

This study is a Phase 3, open-label study of the safety and efficacy of AA4500 0.58 mg in subjects with Peyronie's disease. Subjects will be screened for study eligibility within 21 days before the initial injection of study drug in the first treatment cycle. Enrollment will include all subjects who meet the eligibility criteria and who received placebo and completed one of the Auxilium-sponsored studies AUX-CC-803 or AUX-CC-804.

Read the detailed description

After the final injection of each treatment cycle, the investigator or qualified designee (ie, qualified by license, education, and training to perform the study procedure according to local, state, and country requirements) will model the plaque in an attempt to stretch or elongate the plaque. If the subject's penile curvature is reduced to <15° after the first, second, or third cycle of injections or if the investigator determines further treatment is not clinically indicated (eg, adverse events; allergic reaction), subsequent treatment cycles will not be administered. Following the maximum of four treatment cycles, each subject will be followed for additional safety and efficacy assessments on Days 168 (± 7 days) and 252 (± 7 days) (nominal weeks 24 and 36).

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage Change From Baseline in Penile Curvature

    A negative value in the percentage change from baseline in penile curvature deformity (angle measured in degrees) indicates less curvature.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 36

  2. Change From Baseline in the Peyronie's Disease Bother Domain of the Peyronie's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ)

    Peyronie's disease bother score range 0 (no issue or not at all bothered) to 4 (extremely bothered) on 4 questions; total score range 0 to 16. A decrease in the change from baseline total score in the Peyronie's disease bother domain of the PDQ is indicated by a negative number.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 36

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change From Baseline in the Severity of Peyronie's Disease Symptoms Domain of the PDQ

    Peyronie's disease symptoms (physical and psychological) severity score range 0 (none) to 4 (very severe) on 6 questions; total score range 0 to 24. A decrease in the change from baseline total score in the Peyronie's disease symptoms domain of the PDQ is indicated by a negative number.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 36

  2. Change From Baseline in the Penile Pain Domain of the PDQ in Subjects With Baseline Penile Pain Score ≥4

    Penile pain scale range 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain) on 3 questions; total score range 0 to 30. A decrease in the change from baseline total score in the penile pain domain of the PDQ is indicated by a negative number. Subjects were required to have a penile pain score of 4 or greater at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 36

  3. A Responder Analysis Based on Subject Overall Global Assessment

    Subject overall global assessment of Peyronie's disease score range -3 (much worse) to 3 (much improved). A score of 1 (improved in a small but important way), 2 (moderately improved), or 3 indicate a responder.

    Measured: Week 36

  4. Change in the Overall Satisfaction Domain of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF)

    Overall satisfaction domain of the IIEF score range 0 to 5 on 2 questions where higher scores indicate improved function or satisfaction; total score range 0 to 10.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 36

  5. Change From Baseline in Penile Plaque Consistency

    Penile plaque consistency score range 1 (non-palpable) to 5 (hard). A decrease in the change from baseline in penile plaque consistency is indicated by a negative number.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 36

  6. A Composite Responder Analysis Based on Change From Baseline in Penile Curvature and in the Peyronie's Disease Bother Score

    A composite responder is indicated by

    • a percent reduction from baseline in penile curvature greater than or equal to the threshold, and
    • a reduction from baseline in Peyronie's disease bother score greater than or equal to the threshold, or change in the overall sexual activity within the last 3 months to having vaginal intercourse from no vaginal intercourse at screening.

    Measured: Week 36

  7. Change From Baseline in Penile Length

    A negative value represents a reduction in measurement from baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 36

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing AA4500 in people with Peyronie's Disease, run by Endo USA Inc., a Keenova Therapeutics Company.

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 6 inclusion and 32 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 5 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 7 Apr 2015). 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?

Percentage Change From Baseline in Penile Curvature (time frame: Baseline and Week 36). The study lists 2 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 5 Oct 2017.
