About this study

This study is intended to utilize a novel, class I (ie. lowest risk, clinical studies not required) medical device to determine whether penile length can be increased in men prior to undergoing a penile prosthesis implantation procedure.

Read the detailed description

Men with erectile dysfunction, unresponsive to conservative therapies, are recommended to undergo placement of an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP); however, it is a common complaint post-operatively that their penis length is shorter than what it was previously.

Several attempts have been made by investigators to optimize penile length prior to placement of the penile prosthesis. Compared to other options, penile traction therapy (PTT) offers several potential advantages in that it is minimally-invasive, does not increase the morbidity of surgery, and has not been shown to result in any long-term side effects.

A new penile traction device (RestoreX® ) was created and funded through Mayo Ventures. Given the clinical issue of dissatisfaction with penile length post IPP, the potential role for PTT, and limited amount of data available, we sought to perform a clinical trial evaluating the effect of PTT on increasing the total length of prosthesis which can be inserted. We additionally sought to determine if PTT resulted in improved post-operative satisfaction on total penile length achieved.

To accomplish the study, a population of men from Mayo Clinic planning to undergo placement of an IPP will be enrolled and given the option to either join the control (no treatment) group or PTT group for 3 months prior to their procedure. Outcomes will be assessed prior to surgery and 3, 6, and 12 months post-procedure. Results are to be used with the intent to publish in a scientific journal.

What is being measured

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

  1. Length Assessment of Penile Prosthesis Implanted

    The primary objective is to assess the length of the penile prosthesis inserted into subjects following completion of RestoreX® traction therapy compared to the control group (no treatment)

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Participant Compliance

    Compare Participant compliance with traction device

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months

  2. Participant Satisfaction With Traction

    Compare patient reported satisfaction with use of traction device

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months

  3. Adverse Events With Use of Traction

    Evaluate any adverse events with use of RestoreX® for penile lengthening.

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months

  4. Operative Complications

    Compare intra- and/or post-operative complication rates.

    Measured: 3, 6, 12 months post-operative

  5. Stretched Penile Length

    Compare pre- and post-operative stretched penile lengths

    Measured: From baseline to 12 months

  6. Participant Satisfaction Penile Length

    Compare participant satisfaction scores including satisfaction with overall penile length

    Measured: Baseline to 12 months post-operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RestoreX in people with Erectile Dysfunction, run by Mayo Clinic at 2 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?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Jan 2020). 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?

Length Assessment of Penile Prosthesis Implanted (time frame: From baseline to 3 months). 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 6 Jan 2020.
