What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This trial tests two experimental treatments for erectile dysfunction in men who have had robotic prostate surgery for prostate cancer. One group receives an injection of urine-derived exosomes into the penis, while the other gets ozone gas delivered through the rectum. Researchers will measure improvements in erectile function over six months using a standard questionnaire and ultrasound.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
urine-derived exosomes (USC-Exos) and rectal medical ozone insufflation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer new, non-hormonal treatment options for erectile dysfunction after prostate surgery, potentially restoring function without standard medications.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both treatments are experimental and their long-term safety and effectiveness are not yet proven.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * History of Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (ns-RARP) for localized prostate cancer. * Normal preoperative erectile function (retrospective IIEF-5 score \> 21). * Presence of a stable, sexually active heterosexual relationship. * Inadequate response or intolerance to maximum dose, on-demand oral Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i). Exclusion Criteria: * History of adjuvant or salvage pelvic radiotherapy / androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). * Presence of severe anatomical penile deformities (e.g., active phase Peyronie's disease). * Uncontrolled endocrinological (e.g., HbA1c \> 8.5%) or cardiovascular comorbidities. * History of major cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke) within the preceding 6 months. * Current use of systemic anticoagulants (excluding low-dose prophylactic aspirin). * Concomitant use of any intraurethral alprostadil, vacuum erection devices (VED), or testosterone replacement therapy during the study period.
