Safety and Efficacy of the VERTICA® RF Device for the Treatment of ED
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
VERTICA Active device: VERTICA device with a therapeutic RF energy level
VERTICA Sham device: VERTICA device with a low, non-therapeutic RF energy level
Study summary
Adult subjects with mild to moderate and moderate ED who meet the study eligibility criteria will be enrolled in the study. The enrolled subjects will be randomized by a 1:1 ratio to receive the Active or Sham VERTICA® treatment. Baseline assessments will include collection of demographic data, medical history, concomitant medications and baseline clinical examinations. The initial treatment session will be performed in a clinical setting simulating home use to determine proper device use and to evaluate device tolerability, followed by continued home use of the device for a total of 6 months. Patients will be instructed to attempt sexual activity periodically over the course of the study. Every time a sexual intercourse is attempted, the patient will be requested to complete an event log using validated assessments. Patients will present for monthly follow-up visits, during which safety will be evaluated and additional efficacy assessments will be performed.
