Restoration of Penile Function and Patient Satisfaction with Intralesional Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum Injection for Peyronie’s Disease

2016 
Purpose: Collagenase clostridium histolyticum is approved for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease. To date, no post-release study to our knowledge has evaluated patient perceived outcomes and satisfaction. Therefore, we evaluated patient perceived experience with collagenase clostridium histolyticum injection for Peyronie’s disease in a clinical practice.Materials and Methods: From March 2014 to July 2015, 69 patients underwent 1 to 4 series of collagenase clostridium histolyticum injections for Peyronie’s disease at our institution. Objective changes in penile curvature as well as patient reported functional outcomes and patient perceived curvature improvements were evaluated.Results: By the time of analysis 31 patients (45%) had completed 4 trials, 47 (68%) completed 3 trials and 59 (86%) completed 2 trials. Patient reported improvements (percentage) in curvature increased with each series (trial 1—14%, trial 2—28%, trial 3—30% and trial 4—37%, p <0.05). Among those completing therapy 57% reported that ...
