Closed

Clinical Trial ID

Institutional Protocol # 20160335
National Clinical Trials Identifier NCT03067987

Clinical Trial Summary

Renova- Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a Linear Shockwaves (LISW) device which incorporates a
unique shockwave transducer operable to deliver shockwaves to a treated region. Shockwaves
are aimed at the left and right corpora cavernosa and the crura. The study is aimed at
determining the safety and effectiveness of this new type LISW in the relief of erectile
dysfunction.
HYPOTHESIS Alternate Hypothesis (HA): Active Treatment groups will show a >2-point increase
in the IIEF-EF score from baseline for mild erectile dysfunction, and >5 points for moderate
erectile dysfunction and will show significant change.
Null Hypothesis (HO): There is no difference from baseline and after-treatment in Treatment
groups for alleviating erectile dysfunction measured using International Index of Erectile
Function score (IIEF-EF).
Primary Efficacy Objective: To evaluate change of International Index of Erectile Function
score Questionnaire score from baseline to follow-ups 1, 3 and 6 months' post treatment.
Secondary Objectives:To study sexual activity improvement leading to optimal penetration at
follow-ups according to:
- SEP- Sexual Encounter Profile Questionnaire.
- GAQ- Global Assessment Questionnaire.
- EHS- Erection Hardness Score.
