Definition & Epidemiology of PD
Peyronie's disease (PD) is a fibrotic disorder of the tunica albuginea of the penis.
Naming has been attributed to François Gigot de la Peyronie(surgeon to king Louis XIV of France)Memoire sur quelques obstacles qui s'opposent d l'Ejaculationnaturelle de la semence (Memoires de l'Academie royale de chirurgie - 1743)
Definition & Epidemiology of PD
Scarring/plaque of the tunica albuginea with excessive abnormal collagen depositionPotential symptoms:• Curvature – 80-91%• Nodule – 15%• Pain – 3-22%• ED – 15-28%• Penile shortening – 14%
8-9% report preceding traumaMore common in white males (OR 8.47)
15-58% of patients are unaware of disease (incidental discovery)

Pathophysiology: What Is Collagen?
• Primary extracellular structural component
• All collagens contain a triple helix:• Composed of three polypeptide chains• Contains Gly-X-Y motifs (X and Y normally proline or
hydroxyproline)
• The triple helix• Requires extensive post-translational modification (“hard to
make”)• Is extremely stable (“hard to break”)

Intralesional Treatment
Treatment
• Spontaneous resolution
• Oral therapy: Vitamin E, POTABA, Colchicine, Tamoxifen…
• Intralesional injection therapy • Calcium channel blockers (Verapamil)• Interferon (IFN)• Collagenase (Xiaflex) – FDA approval Dec 6, 2013
• Surgical options• Plication of contralateral corpora (Nesbit principle) • Incision & grafting (I & G) procedures• Prosthesis option with modeling or ancillary procedures
Treatment
• Clinicians should NOT offer:• Vitamin E, tamoxifen, procarbazine, omega-3
fatty acids, or Vit E w/ L-carnitine• Electromotive therapy w/ verapamil• Shock wave therapy for curvature or plaque
size (may offer for pain)• Radiotherapy
Treatment
AUA Guidellines on PD 2015
Clinicians may administer collagenase w/ modeling for pts with:
• Stable disease• 30-90°• Intact erectile function w/ or w/o meds
Clinicians may offer intralesional interferon or verapamil

Intralesional Interferon Alpha-2b
1 RCT, 1 randomized study (w/o placebo), 8 observational studies
Single-blind, multicenter, placebo controlled, parallel arm
N=103, age 55, PD >12 mo, curvature > 30°
Bi-weekly x 12 injectionsCurvature reduction: 13.5° (IFN) vs 4.5°
Plaque size reduction: 2.6 cm2 (IFN) vs 0.9 cm2
Pain improvement: 67.7% (IFN) vs 28.1%

Intralesional Interferon Alpha-2b
Role in men w/ Stable disease
Curvature >30°
Non-calcified plaque
ventral curvatures, penile pain
Pts should be informed regarding expected average curvature reduction of 13.5 degrees (only 9 degrees different than placebo)
Clinicians should counsel pts prior to tx about potential adverse events
sinusitis, flu-like symptoms, and minor penile swelling. AUA Guidellines on PD 2015
Intralesional Verapamil2 RCTs, 8 observational studies1. 10 – 27 mg intralesional verapamil weekly for 6 months1
N=14
Randomized, single-blind, placebo controlled
significant decrease in plaque length, width, and volume in the verapamil group (but not in the placebo group)
2. 10 mg verapamil, twice weekly for 12 weeks2
N=80,
Randomized, single-blind, placebo controlled
No significant differences in curvature, pain, plaque size, or sexual function

Intralesional Verapamil
Clinicians who consider the use of intralesionalverapamil as a treatment for symptoms of PD should fully consider the weakness of the evidence demonstrating its efficacy.
Clinicians should counsel pts prior to tx about potential adverse events,
penile bruising, dizziness, nausea, and pain at the injection site.

2014 – The Year of Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum
Surgical specimens of excised plaque & normal tunica Injection into dorsal tunica (400 U clostridial collagenase in 0.2 mL) Incubation for 24 h before tissue processing Localized complete lysis of collagen (note sharp demarcation from normal tissue)
Gelbard MK, et al. Urol Res 1982
Hematoxylin & eosin stain(collagen = dense pink stain)
Van Gieson’s stain(collagen = dark red stain)
CCH injection into the Plaque
Amino acid release to buffer (ninhydrin) after CCH injection into the plaque
Gelbard MK, et al. Urol Res 1982
Complete disruption of plaque collagen
• Surgically excised plaque bisected:• Half was treated with collagenase (400 U in 0.1 mL)• Half was injected with saline (0.1 mL)
• Incubation for 24 h before tissue processing• Note difference in size & morphology (both are same magnification)

Conclusions of IMPRESS trials• CCH showed statistically significant improvements in
• penile curvature deformity (physical) [p-values of 0.0005 and 0.0059]
• PD bother (psychosocial) [p-values of 0.0451 and 0.0496]
• XIAFLEX is an effective FDA-approved biological therapy for the treatment of PD
• How many pts drop out the study??? (pain, hematoma, swelling, 8 mo tx)
• Is a mean curvature reduction of 17° is “functionally” significant for the patient?
• If the whole course of 8 injections is used, the cost would be >£8 000 (€11 200). (more than double compared with a tariff of £1 856 for a Nesbit procedure) (NHS England).
Conclusions
• PD is a common condition that can be both physically and psychologically devastating for men and their partners
• Intralesional interferon and verapamil treatment may be effective.
• CCH showed statistically significant improvements (17°) in penile curvature and PD bother
• It can be effective in PD patients with
• Dorsal curvature <50-60 degrees
• Without calcified plaque• Reducing the number of treatment cycles needed
would make the treatment significantly more cost effective.
