Title: Efficacy of Penile Traction Therapy Using a Novel Device: A Controlled, Single-blinded, Randomized Trial
Brief Summary: This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, dosing, and preliminary efficacy of a novel penile traction device on correcting deformities relating to Peyronie's disease, a condition which results in penile curvature and length loss. The trial is designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled study with men randomized to receiving no therapy or penile traction therapy 30 minutes once, twice, or three times daily. The study will occur over a 3 month period, after which an open label phase for 3 months will be conducted. Final assessments for adverse effects will also be assessed at 9 months.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Be a male and be ≥ 18 years of age
2. Be in a stable relationship with a female partner/spouse for at least 3 months before screening and be willing to have vaginal intercourse with that partner/spouse
3. Have symptom(s) of Peyronie's disease for at least 12 months before the first dose of study drug and have evidence of stable disease as determined by the investigator
4. Have penile curvature of at least 30° in the dorsal, lateral, or dorsal/lateral plane at screening. It must be possible to delineate the single plane of maximal curvature for evaluation during the study
5. Be judged to be in good health, based upon the results of a medical history, physical examination, and laboratory profile
6. Voluntarily sign and date an informed consent agreement approved by the Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC). The subject must also sign an authorization form to allow disclosure of his protected health information (PHI). The PHI authorization form and informed consent form may be an integrated form or may be separate forms depending on the institution
7. Be able to read, complete, and understand the various rating instruments in English

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Has a penile curvature of less than 30° or greater than 90° at the screening visit
2. Has any of the following conditions:

   * Chordee in the presence or absence of hypospadias
   * Thrombosis of the dorsal penile artery and/or vein
   * Infiltration by a benign or malignant mass resulting in penile curvature

5. Has a calcified plaque as evident by appropriate radiographic evaluation, penile x-ray or penile ultrasound that would prevent proper injection of study medication. Non-contiguous stippling of calcium is acceptable for inclusion provided the calcium deposit does not interfere with the injection of AA4500 into the plaque
6. Has an isolated hourglass deformity of the penis
7. Has the plaque causing curvature of the penis located proximal to the base of the penis, so that the injection of the local anesthetic would interfere with the injection of AA4500 into the plaque
8. Has previously received alternative medical therapies for Peyronie's disease administered by the intralesional route (including, but not limited to, steroids, verapamil, and the naturally occurring low molecular weight protein, interferon-α2b) within 3 months before the first dose of study drug or plans to use any of these medical therapies at any time during the study

15. Has uncontrolled hypertension, as determined by the investigator
16. Has a known recent history of stroke, bleeding, or other significant medical condition, which in the investigator's opinion would make the subject unsuitable for enrollment in the study
17. Is unwilling or unable to cooperate with the requirements of the study including completion of all scheduled study visits
