NCT04424394

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the immediate and short-term efficacy of the methodological application of DualStim Therapy - Focused Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (fESWT) and Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (rESWT), with and without intracavernosal administration of formulated umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly to improve and/or restore erectile function in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

  • Adverse or Severe adverse events associated with Intracavernosal administration of umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly injection.

    To determine the safety i.e. adverse or severe adverse events associated with intracavernosal administration of umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly injection. Any adverse or severe adverse events will be recorded in the associated case report forms.

    During the procedure

  • Adverse or Severe adverse events associated with Intracavernosal administration of umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly injection.

    1 month follow-up visit

  • Adverse or Severe adverse events associated with Intracavernosal administration of umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly injection.

    To determine the safety i.e. adverse or severe adverse events associated with intracavernosal administration of umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly injection. Any adverse or severe adverse events will be recorded in the associated case report forms.

    3 month follow-up visit

  • Adverse or Severe adverse events associated with Intracavernosal administration of umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly injection.

    To determine the safety i.e. adverse or severe adverse events associated with intracavernosal administration of umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly injection. Any adverse or severe adverse events will be recorded in the associated case report forms.

    6 month follow-up visit

  • Adverse or Severe adverse events associated with Intracavernosal administration of umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly injection.

    To determine the safety i.e. adverse or severe adverse events associated with intracavernosal administration of umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly injection. Any adverse or severe adverse events will be recorded in the associated case report forms.

    12 month follow-up visit

  • Adverse or Severe adverse events associated with Intracavernosal administration of umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly injection.

    To determine the safety i.e. adverse or severe adverse events associated with intracavernosal administration of umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly injection. Any adverse or severe adverse events will be recorded in the associated case report forms.

    18 month follow-up visit

  • Immediate and short-term efficacy of DualStim Therapy with Wharton's Jelly based on changes in the International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire score compared to baseline

    To evaluate the immediate and short-term efficacy of DualStim Therapy with Wharton's Jelly based on changes in the International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire score compared to baseline score. An increase in the score indicates improvement.

    through study completion, an average of 18 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Immediate and short-term efficacy of DualStim Therapy with Wharton's Jelly compared to DualStim Therapy with saline based on changes in the International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire score.

    through study completion, an average of 18 months

  • Sexual activity improvement according to Sexual Encounter Profile Questionnaire from baseline leading to optimal penetration at follow-ups

    through study completion, an average of 18 months

  • Sexual activity improvement according to Global Assessment Questionnaire from baseline leading to optimal penetration at follow-ups

    through study completion, an average of 18 months

  • Sexual activity improvement according to Erection Hardness Score from baseline leading to optimal penetration at follow-ups

    through study completion, an average of 18 months
