Platelet-Rich Plasma With or Without Tadalafil for Erectile Dysfunction

16. mai 2026 oppdatert av: Mahmoud Mahmoud Ahmed M. Ghanim, Benha University

Efficacy of Intracavernosal Injection of Platelet-Rich Plasma Alone Versus Combined With Oral Tadalafil in The Management of Erectile Dysfunction; A Prospective Randomized Study

Platelet-rich plasma is being studied as a regenerative treatment option for erectile dysfunction, but it is unclear whether adding daily tadalafil gives additional benefit over platelet-rich plasma alone. This study evaluates adult men with mild to mild-moderate erectile dysfunction who had an inadequate response to previous phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor treatment.

Participants were randomly assigned to receive either intracavernosal platelet-rich plasma injections combined with oral tadalafil 5 milligrams once daily, or intracavernosal platelet-rich plasma injections alone. The platelet-rich plasma injection protocol consisted of three intracavernosal treatment sessions spaced two weeks apart. Erectile function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function-5 questionnaire at baseline and during follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 months. Penile duplex Doppler ultrasound was performed at baseline and after 6 months to assess erectile blood-flow parameters.

The study hypothesis is that adding daily tadalafil to intracavernosal platelet-rich plasma may produce greater improvement in patient-reported erectile function compared with platelet-rich plasma alone, while also allowing assessment of whether this improvement is accompanied by measurable changes in penile Doppler parameters. The study included 156 participants in the final analysis, with 78 participants in each treatment group.

Våpen og intervensjoner

Deltakergruppe / Arm
Intervensjon / Behandling
Eksperimentell: Platelet-Rich Plasma Plus Tadalafil
Participants received intracavernosal platelet-rich plasma injections combined with oral tadalafil. Tadalafil was given as 5 milligrams tablet by mouth once daily. Platelet-rich plasma was prepared from autologous whole blood using a two-step centrifugation method, activated with calcium chloride, and injected intracavernosally using a fine-gauge needle after topical local anesthesia. The injection protocol consisted of three treatment sessions spaced two weeks apart.
Legemiddel: Tadalafil
Tadalafil was administered orally as a 5 milligram tablet once daily in combination with intracavernosal platelet-rich plasma injections. It was used as adjunct pharmacologic therapy to support erectile function during the study follow-up period.
Fremgangsmåte: Intracavernosal Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection
Autologous platelet-rich plasma was prepared from whole blood using a two-step centrifugation technique and activated with calcium chloride before administration. It was injected intracavernosally using a fine-gauge needle after topical local anesthesia. The treatment protocol included three intracavernosal injection sessions spaced two weeks apart.
Aktiv komparator: Platelet-Rich Plasma Alone
Participants received intracavernosal platelet-rich plasma injections alone without adjunct oral tadalafil. Platelet-rich plasma was prepared from autologous whole blood using a two-step centrifugation method, activated with calcium chloride, and injected intracavernosally using a fine-gauge needle after topical local anesthesia. The injection protocol consisted of three treatment sessions spaced two weeks apart.

Tidsramme
Change in International Index of Erectile Function-5 Score
Tidsramme: Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment initiation
Erectile function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function-5 questionnaire. The total score ranges from 5 to 25, with higher scores indicating better erectile function. Scores were compared over time between the platelet-rich plasma plus tadalafil group and the platelet-rich plasma alone group.

Tidsramme
Change in Penile Peak Systolic Velocity
Tidsramme: Baseline and 6 months after treatment initiation
Peak systolic velocity was measured by penile duplex Doppler ultrasound after pharmacologic stimulation. It was used to assess arterial penile blood flow. Higher values indicate better arterial inflow.
Baseline and 6 months after treatment initiation
Change in Penile End-Diastolic Velocity
Tidsramme: Baseline and 6 months after treatment initiation
End-diastolic velocity was measured by penile duplex Doppler ultrasound after pharmacologic stimulation. It was used to assess venous outflow status during erection.
Baseline and 6 months after treatment initiation
Change in Penile Resistive Index
Tidsramme: Baseline and 6 months after treatment initiation
Resistive index was calculated from penile duplex Doppler ultrasound parameters after pharmacologic stimulation. It was used as an additional measure of penile vascular resistance and erectile hemodynamics.
