Filter by:This is a 5year (+-30 days) long term follow up study to evaluate the safety of autologous bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell in erectile dysfunction subject who participated in and completed the Phase 1 trials (refer to ClinicalTrials.gov.Identifier: NCT02344849).
This pilot study aims to explore the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of two different extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) protocols for patients receiving nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy (RP).
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is reported in up to 85% of men who have undergone a radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. A few small studies have recently shown that low-intensity shockwave therapy may improve sexual performance in men with ED. However, the optimal dosage and length of treatment is yet to be determined. The investigators propose a randomised trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of low-intensity shockwave therapy in men with ED following prostatectomy surgery.
To evaluate the level of NGF,TrKA and p75NTR in patientd with erectile dysfunction and diabetes with or without metabolic syndrome
Prospective collection of pre-defined parameters on the surgical treatment of male erectile dysfunction using Penile Prosthesis Implants (PPIs).
The TEMPOS-GEniToUrinary Group (GETUG) study is a multicenter, medico-economic study comparing brachytherapy to SBRT in low and intermediate risk prostate cancer, particularly focused on the issue of erectile dysfunction. A total of 240 potent patients are randomized in two arms. The experimental arm consists of SBRT delivering 7.25 Gy per fraction, in five fractions, corresponding to a total dose of 36.25 Gy to the prostate. The control arm consists of brachytherapy by Iodine 125 delivering 144 Gy to the prostate. The main objective of this health economics study is to perform a cost-utility analysis of SBRT compared to "standard" Iodine 125 brachytherapy in low-risk prostate cancer, 3 years after treatment. The endpoint is the Incremental Cost-Utility Ratio (ICUR) between SBRT and brachytherapy as primary criterion, expressed in cost per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Cost-effectiveness analyses are performed as secondary objective with Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratios (ICERs) expressed as cost per erectile dysfunction avoided and cost per Life Year Gained. A long term evaluation is also performed, including a cost-utility, cost-effectiveness and budget impact analysis at 5 years, a comprehensive assessment of the erectile dysfunction up to 5 years after treatment, an evaluation of acute and late genito-urinary (GU) and Gastro-Intestinal (GI) toxicities, and of quality of life up to 5 years after treatment. Eight patients/year/center are expected to be recruited in 2 years in about twenty participating centers. In total, to our knowledge, this study will be the first health economic evaluation which compares SBRT versus Iodine 125 brachytherapy in low risk and intermediate risk prostate cancer. Both cost-utility and cost-effectiveness analyses will also provide useful and complementary information to decision makers in order (i) to recommend the best strategy to adopt; (ii) to estimate the budget impact on the French National Health Insurance of the generalization of the cost-effective strategy. Finally, this study will allow to assess and compare accurately the erectile dysfunction after both treatment modalities.
Even though, the efficacy of Low-Intensity Shockwave Therapy (LIST) to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED) has been documented by numerous trials; it is still not recommended by clinical guidelines. Different types of: shockwave generators, treatment protocols and ED severities of patients included in the studies, explain the lack of recommendations for a standard treatment. Ideally, each shockwave generator should have its own efficacy data from randomized controlled trials, using standardized protocols, and in defined populations. Objective: to test the efficacy of a electromagnetic shockwave generator (Dornier Aries) in treating patients with mild and moderate ED in a randomized controlled trial. Patients and methods: 38 patients with mild/moderate ED (IIEF-5= 11-21), are being prospectively randomized (1:1) to receive 6 sessions of LIST or sham (same: number of sessions, time and sound, with out transmitting energy). The patients and who analyzed the data are blind to randomization. The following parameters were analyzed: IIEF-5, IIEF-15, Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) 2 and 3, Global Assessment Question (GAQ) 1 and Erection Hardness Score (EHS) at: baseline (T0), at the end of the 6 sessions (T1); at 6 (T2) and 12 weeks (T3). During all the study patients were instructed to receive no other treatment for ED. After ending T3 we expect to treat placebo patients to see impact of changing arm study.
Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) is a surgical technique for the treatment of prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to report our initial experience with RALRP, by applying the concept of pentafecta. Pentafecta consists of the five main outcomes in the postoperative period of RALRP: erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, postoperative complications, surgical margins and biochemical failure.
This is a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, 3 parallel arms, clinical trial. All patients will be PDE5I users or ex-users. After 1 month wash-out period, ED patients will be screened, in order to randomize 51 men with vasculogenic ED. Patients will be randomized in 3 groups (17 subjects in each group) to receive shockwave treatments (12 sessions for all subjects, 5000 shockwaves at each session, at energy level 7), three times a week (total of 4 weeks) without treatment interval. One group will be sham-control at energy level 7 whereas 2 groups will receive active treatment.Three identical standard probes (probes A, B, C) will be used for the study, 2 of them active and one sham. Starting at first LiST session and finishing at the final week of LiST sessions, subjects will receive Tadalafil 5mg for 4 weeks daily. Total treatment period = 4 weeks. The IIEF-ED domain will be evaluated at Visit 1 and, consequently, at baseline and all follow up visits together with the SEP diaries.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of radial shock waves for the treatment of erectile dysfunction [ED]. Patients and methods: Randomized, double-blind clinical trial. The study will include patients of legal age with diagnosis of ED and score on the International Index of Erectile Function [IIEF-EF] scale between 11 and 21 points, who voluntarily decide to participate and sign the informed consent. Patients with bladder cancer, prostate cancer or active colon, ED of psychological origin, any psychiatric disorder, spinal cord injury, clinical suspicion of hypogonadism (score on the Aging Males' Symptoms scale greater than 36), infections or active lesions of the penis or pubic area, ED secondary to treatment with medications (antiandrogenic therapy, use of corticosteroids, anti-Parkinson's, antipsychotics), radical prostatectomy or other radical pelvic surgery, history of pelvic radiotherapy, penile implantation, or endocrine diseases that occur with ED (acromegaly, gigantism, Addison's disease, hyperprolactinemia, androgenic deficiency), sickle cell anemia, and anticoagulated patients will be excluded. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the following treatment arms: - Arm 1 (Standard treatment (oral sildenafil) + Radial wave therapy) - Arm 2 (Standard treatment (oral sildenafil) + Placebo therapy) Measurements will be made of the Erection Hardness Score [EHS] and IIEF-EF scale scores, of the use of medication and of the possible adverse events of the therapy, at the beginning and end of the treatment, and one month after the therapies are finished.
