(136) A NONINTERVENTIONAL, RETROSPECTIVE MULTICENTER STUDY TO EVALUATE CCH TREATMENT IN ADULT MALE PARTICIPANTS WITH VENTRAL CURVATURE OF THE PENIS DUE TO PEYRONIE’S DISEASE

Abstract Introduction Peyronie’s disease (PD) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by the replacement of normal elastic fibers of the tunica albuginea with collagen-containing plaques. This alteration may result in penile deformities that are most evident during erection, which can lead to significant emotional distress, sexual dysfunction, and penile pain. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) is indicated for the treatment of adult men with PD with a palpable plaque and curvature deformity of at least 30 degrees at therapy onset. Notably, men with ventral curvature (VC) were not included in the CCH clinical trial program due to potential concerns over the proximity of the urethra to the site of injection. Currently, CCH is contraindicated in Peyronie’s plaques that involve the penile urethra. Urethral involvement of a PD plaque is rare due to the anatomy of those structures. PD plaques form in the tunica albuginea as opposed to the corpus spongiosum which directly surrounds the urethra. Also, multiple prospective and retrospective studies have documented favorable outcomes using CCH for PD with VC. Thus, CCH may be a reasonable treatment option for patients suffering with ventral and ventrolateral penile curvatures in the absence of direct urethral involvement. Objective We are conducting a multicenter real-world retrospective collaborative research study of the safety and effectiveness of CCH in the treatment of men who had PD with VC. Methods A Phase 4, multicenter, noninterventional, retrospective review of medical records from approximately 10-15 US physician sites is being conducted. Eligible patients include those ≥18 years old with a PD diagnosis with VC and a palpable plaque that had been treated with CCH from 2014 to the study start date at the site. The primary effectiveness endpoint is percent change from (pretreatment) baseline in degree of VC at the last visit as measured at follow-up within 6 months post-treatment. Secondary endpoints include mean change from Baseline in VC and the proportion of patients with ≥30% improvement from baseline in VC at the last visit during which a measurement was collected within 6 months of final CCH treatment. Adverse events are collected throughout the study period to assess safety. Results In this first look at early data, 32 eligible patients with a median age (range) of 58.0 years (25-75 years) were included in the analysis. The percent change in penile curvature from baseline decreased, representing an improvement of 45.4% (SD: 28.62 [0-100]) (Figure), with 68.8% (22/32) of patients experiencing ≥30% improvement from baseline in VC. There were no serious adverse events. Five patients had at least one treatment-related adverse event (TRAE); 4 TRAEs were mild-to-moderate in severity and 2 were unknown. There were no reports of urethral involvement or injury. TRAEs were related to injection site bruising (n = 3), hemorrhage (n = 1), swelling (n = 1), and muscle spasm (n = 1). Conclusions This first look at early data reflecting improvements in men with PD and VC (data cutoff: 06/14/2024) is consistent with findings of effectiveness and tolerability of CCH in the treatment of men with dorsal and dorsolateral penile curvature.
