Study Summary

The investigators are doing this research to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical MED3000 therapy in men with persistent erectile dysfunction 1.5 to 4 years following radical prostatectomy surgery.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Men who underwent robotic bilateral nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy between 18 and 36 months prior to study commencement
  • Subjects are 18-48 months status-post radical prostatectomy
  • Subjects have any degree of erectile dysfunction based on IIEF questionnaire
  • Age 40 - 70 at study commencement
  • Diagnosed with low/intermediate-risk prostate cancer:
  • PSA < 20 ng/ml
  • Gleason score =< 8
  • Prostate Cancer stage =< T3a
  • Normal pre-radical prostatectomy erectile function (IIEF >=26) or equivalent responseon EPIC
  • Baseline erectile dysfunction at time of screening (despite use of erectogenic aids ofany kind) and enrolment following washout (IIEF-ED domain <=25)
  • Sexually active, in a stable heterosexual relationship for at least 6 months prior toscreening
  • Able to understand and complete patient questionnaires
  • Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) undetectable (no evidence of disease recurrence)
  • Able to consent to participate
  • Documented written informed consent from both patient and his female partner

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Anatomical abnormalities in the genitalia or pelvic region such as severe phimosis
  • Post-Radical Prostatectomy complications that could impact safety or effectiveness ofmedical therapy for erectile function (treatment for pelvic hematoma, urinary orintestinal fistula, unresolved anastomotic leak)
  • Tumor upstaging beyond T3a
  • Incomplete / sub-total nerve sparing on either side
  • Previous or scheduled treatment with pelvic salvage radiotherapy and/or androgendeprivation therapy
  • Prior receipt of androgen deprivation therapy
  • Any other condition that would prevent the patient from completing the study, asjudged by the Principal Investigator

Study Description

MED3000 is a topical gel that has been developed to treat patients with erectile dysfunction. The investigators postulate that on demand treatment with MED3000 can improve on-demand erectile function among men status-post radical prostatectomy, allowing for some endogenous cavernosal nerve function recovery for 1.5 to 4 years post-surgery among men with normal baseline pre-surgical erectile function.
