(137) COMPARISON OF COLLAGENASE <i>CLOSTRIDIUM HISTOLYTICUM</i> TO SURGERY FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF PEYRONIE’S DISEASE: A RANDOMIZED TRIAL – 2 YEAR OUTCOMES

Abstract Introduction Since FDA approval of Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum (CCH) for the treatment of Peyronie’s Disease (PD), there has been significant debate as to its role and comparable efficacy in relation to surgical therapies. We therefore sought to compare key outcomes between the two therapies. Objective To compare the satisfaction and adverse event profiles between surgery and CCH injections for the treatment of PD. Methods A randomized, controlled trial is ongoing. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive either CCH + traction (RestoreX) + sildenafil (CCH) or penile surgery (plication and/or incision and grafting) + traction + sildenafil for PD (Surgery). Objective, standardized, and non-standardized assessments were obtained at baseline and 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months post-treatment. Key outcomes included differences in standardized questionnaires, penile curvature, penile length, subsequent interventions, and non-standardized questionnaire responses. Results A total of 40 men were randomized with 24-month data available in 29. Mean age was 54.7 years, PD duration 37.4 months (mo), composite curvature 73.1 degrees (deg), and penile length 12.7 cm. All baseline variables were similar between cohorts. Regarding primary outcomes, at 24-months post-treatment, CCH men were more likely to report being very satisfied with treatment (62% vs 25%, p &amp;lt; 0.05). For secondary outcomes, only questionnaire data were captured at two years without objective measurements obtained. No differences were noted between groups regarding subscales of the IIEF, PDQ, Beck’s Depression Inventory, or SEP-2, however CCH men had better SEP-3 positive responses (62% vs 19%, p = 0.02), indicating improved ability to maintain erections sufficient for intercourse. Surgery men reported higher subjective rates of length loss compared to CCH (81% vs 15%, p &amp;lt; 0.001) and curvature recurrence (56% vs 8%, p &amp;lt; 0.01), but similar rates with changes in sensation, indentation/hourglass, and erectile function. Both groups indicated similar willingness to undergo the therapy again. Interestingly, at 2-years, the majority of men in the Surgery arm said that their initial preference for treatment was surgery (56%), which decreased from a peak 86% at 1-year. However, in reviewing baseline information, 72% of Surgery men actually preferred CCH at study onset, highlighting a significant recall bias towards whatever treatment one actually ended up receiving. Conclusions Preliminary data suggests that when compared to surgery at 24-months, CCH men were more likely to be very satisfied with therapy, have greater subjective length improvements and lower curvature recurrence rates.
