Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Men aged 18–75 with Peyronie's disease, penile curvature greater than 30 degrees, preserved erectile function (IIEF >20), normal blood counts, and willingness to use penile traction and attend follow-up visits are the ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with coagulopathies or platelet disorders, active major infections, prior penile surgery or prior infiltrative/traction treatments, or poor erectile function are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies

This open-label, single-center randomized study in Milan compares penile traction alone to traction combined with three cord blood–derived platelet-rich plasma (CB-PRP) injections given every 15 days. Men with Peyronie's disease, curvature greater than 30 degrees, and preserved erectile function will be randomized to one of the two arms. The primary outcome is patient satisfaction measured with the PDQ at 1 and 3 months after treatment, and secondary outcomes include goniometer-measured curvature, stretched penile length, SF-12 quality of life, and HADS anxiety/depression scores. Safety screening requires normal blood counts, negative HIV/HCV/HBsAg, and exclusion of prior penile surgery or previous injectable or traction therapies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, adding CB-PRP to traction could improve patient satisfaction, reduce curvature, and enhance quality of life with a minimally invasive approach.

How similar studies have gone: Autologous PRP for Peyronie's disease has produced limited and mixed results in small studies, and the use of cord blood–derived PRP is novel with little published clinical evidence.
