About this study

This clinical study is designed to investigate the safety and potential ability of relocated autologous SVF (stromal vascular fraction) to restore erectile function in men with ED (erectile dysfunction).

Read the detailed description

Prospective, multi-center, two-arm, blinded, randomized treatment. Covariate adaptive randomization will be used. Covariates included in the adaptive randomization process will be investigational center, history of diabetes, and radical prostatectomy. The two randomized study arms are:

  1. Treatment with SVF followed six months later with sham treatment (ARM 1)
  2. Sham treatment followed six months later by treatment with SVF (ARM 2) Study population is 60 adult male subjects with organic erectile dysfunction (IIEF-EF score 11-22) of greater than 6 months' duration due to radical prostatectomy, diabetes mellitus, and/or vascular disease. Subjects will be followed for 12 months after initial treatment.
Being tested
Injection of adipose derived cells into penis

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Efficacy Objective: ability of adipose derived cells to restore erectile function using the 6-Item IIEF-EF score

    Evaluate the ability of adipose derived cells to restore erectile function at 6 months using the 6-Item IIEF-EF score

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety Objective: assessment of any adverse events

    Will be evaluated by the IDMC through assessment of any adverse events that occur during or after adipose tissue harvest and intracorporal injection of adipose derived cells through 12-month follow-up. All adverse events will be reviewed by the IDMC and the Sponsor at least every 3 months throughout enrollment, and at least annually throughout study follow-up.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Injection of adipose derived cells into penis in people with Erectile Dysfunction, run by Tissue Genesis at 5 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 10 inclusion and 25 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Paul Kosnik, PhD (808-539-9331, pkosnik@tissuegenesis.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary Efficacy Objective: ability of adipose derived cells to restore erectile function using the 6-Item IIEF-EF score (time frame: 6 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 24 Jun 2021.
