About This Trial

To determine efficacy, safety and tolerabiltiy of topically applied BZ371A in patients that experienced RP, in combination with daily tadalafil compared to placebo.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Erectile Dysfunction Following Radical Prostatectomy and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 72 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Erectile Dysfunction Following Radical Prostatectomy subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.
