BACKGROUND: The Investigation for Maximal Peyronie’s Reduction Efficacy and Safety Studies (IMPRESS) I and II examined the clinical efficacy of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) in subjects with Peyronie’s disease (PD). These large, international, identical phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies examined CCH treatment outcomes in penile curvature deformity and PD symptom bother domain using the Peyronie’s disease questionnaire (PDQ) from baseline to 52 weeks. Composite responders showed both a ≥20% improvement in penile curvature deformity and an improvement of ≥1 in the symptom bother PDQ score, or a change from reporting no sexual activity at screening to reporting sexual activity. The percentage of subjects who were composite responders was compared between CCH treatment and placebo groups.
METHODS: The IMPRESS I (N=417) and II (N=415) phase 3 studies examined CCH treatment through a maximum of up to 4 treatment cycles, each separated by a 6-week period. Subjects received up to 8 injections into the Peyronie’s plaque of 0.58 mg CCH, two injections per cycle separated by approximately 24 to 72 hours, with the second injection in each cycle followed 24-72 hours later by plaque modeling. Subjects were stratified by degree of penile curvature deformity at baseline (30° to 60° vs 61° to 90°) and randomized to CCH or placebo (2:1 in favor of CCH). A post-hoc meta-analysis combined data from the two identical studies.
RESULTS: The group of men who received CCH treatment had a significantly greater percentage of composite responders compared with the placebo group at Week 52 (p<0.0001; Figure 1).
CONCLUSIONS: The IMPRESS I and II studies support the clinical efficacy of CCH treatment compared with placebo for both the physical and psychological aspects of PD. CCH treatment resulted in a greater percentage of men showing improvement in both penile curvature deformity and PD symptom bother.
