NCT03699943

Brief Summary

This study assessed the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow concentrate and injected intra-cavernously into patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). Specifically, this study will evaluate ED treatment \>18 year old men, a demographic where the etiology of ED is attributable primarily to the loss of corporal smooth muscle in the penis. Study endpoints will evaluate the safety and efficacy of intracavernosal bone marrow concentrate administration for treating ED patients.
