Maxi-K Gene Therapy may Help Treat Erectile Dysfunction
"This study gives hope to men who experience ED but have not responded to oral therapies," said Arnold Melman, M.D., one of the study's authors.
"The importance of these observations in clinical and pre-clinical trials is that it appears that gene transfer with the Maxi-K channel enhances both erectile capacity as well as other important measures of sexual behavior," he added.
Researchers also presented updated data reaffirming that human patients being treated with hMaxi-K therapy for ED were not adversely affected.
The trial, conducted with 11 men between the ages of 18 and 65 with moderate to severe ED who received previous unsuccessful treatment, concluded that direct, organ-targeted, naked DNA gene transfer with hMax-K produced no treatment-related adverse events and the treatment is not associated other diseases or conditions.
These results open the door to further testing involving Maxi-K gene transfer and could lead to its effective use in treating the human population.
The study was presented at the 103rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association.
