Laser zaps penile scar tissue in early trial
NCT ID NCT07177833
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 1 trial tests whether a fractional CO2 laser can safely reduce the scar tissue that causes penile curvature in Peyronie's disease. Sixty men with stable, chronic disease will receive three laser sessions over 18 weeks. The main goal is to check for side effects, but researchers will also measure changes in curvature and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Fractional CO2 laser
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a non-invasive, low-risk option to reduce penile curvature and improve quality of life for men with Peyronie's disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early phase 1 trial focused on safety, not yet on effectiveness. The laser may not work better than a sham device, and results may not apply to all patients.
