Detailed Description
Prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicentric, pilot clinical study to confirm the safety of HiLow hyaluronic acid sodium salt for intralesional penile injection in patients affected by PD.
Fourty patients aged 18-75 and affected by PD in the acute phase will be enrolled in the study.
The primary endpoint is the incidence of adverse events with causal relationship during the 2.5 months of active treatment and during follow-up.
The scondary endpoint is the overall improvement of the clinical condition by evaluation of the patient's global improvement (PGI-I scale), the amelioration in the degree of the curvature of the penis and the amelioration in the length of the penis after the induction of penile erection.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: HiLow hyaluronic acid sodium salt for intralesional penile injection Five intralesional injections of HiLow hyaluronic acid sodium salt will be administered in total to men affected by PD every two weeks (for a total period of 2.5 months). Patients will be then followed-up for 3 months. The following visits are scheduled: Day 0: basal visit Day 15: injection n.1 Day 30: injection n.2 Day 45: injection n.3 Day 60: injection n.4 Day 75: injection n.5 Day 180: end of follow up |
Device: Pre-filled syringe of HiLow Hyaluronic Acid Sodium Salt
The medical device consists of a pre-filled syringe containing 3.2% Hyaluronic Acid Sodium Salt with high and low molecular weight [32 mg (HHA) + 32 mg (LHA) / 2 ml]

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of adverse events [From Day 0 to Day 180]
Evaluation of the safety of the treatment by measurement of the incidence of adverse events
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Patient's global impression of improvement [Day 75, Day 180]
Evaluation of patient's global impression of improvement by Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) scale with a score from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse).
- Penile curvature [Day 0, Day 75, Day 180]
Evaluation of the amelioration in the degree of curvature of the penis measured using a goniometer
- Penile length [Day 0, Day 75, Day 180]
Evaluation of the amelioration in the length of the penis after the induction of penile erection
