About this study
Official title: Clinical Efficacy of Intracavernosal Xeomin as an Adjunctive Therapy to on Demand Tadalafil 20 mg for the Treatment of Mild to Moderate Erectile Dysfunction: A Randomized Crossover Pilot Study
Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects approximately 30 million men in the United States and is associated with factors such as aging, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle. ED can also negatively impact the quality of life of patients and their partners. Treatment decisions are typically made jointly between patients and their urologists, often starting with less invasive options. Oral phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5 inhibitors), including sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil, are commonly used as first-line therapy. While these medications improve erectile function in many patients, approximately 30-40% do not respond adequately to PDE5 inhibitor therapy alone. Patients who do not achieve sufficient benefit may require additional or more invasive treatment options.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in erectile function
Change in erectile function as measured by the validated IIEF-EF domain (3-6 months) following Xeomin portion of the crossover study. This domain provides a score on a scale of 6-30, where scores can be interpreted as follows:
- 26-30: No Erectile Dysfunction
- 22-25: Mild Erectile Dysfunction
- 17-21: Mild to Moderate Erectile Dysfunction
- 11-16: Moderate Erectile Dysfunction
- 6-10: Severe Erectile Dysfunction
Measured: 3-6 months
Change in erectile hardness
Change in erectile hardness as measured by the validated erectile hardness scale (EHS) (3-6 months) following Xeomin portion of the crossover study. The scale ranges from Grade 0 - Grade 4. It measures the firmness of an erection using the following grade interpretation:
- Grade 0: Penis does not enlarge.
- Grade 1: Penis is larger, but not hard.
- Grade 2: Penis is hard, but not hard enough for penetration.
- Grade 3: Penis is hard enough for penetration, but not completely hard.
- Grade 4: Penis is completely hard and fully rigid
Measured: 3-6 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Persistence of efficacy in erectile function
Persistence of efficacy in erectile function as measured by the validated IIEF-EF domain (3-6 months in placebo portion of crossover study). This domain provides a score on a scale of 6-30 over a period of time, where scores can be interpreted as follows:
- 26-30: No Erectile Dysfunction
- 22-25: Mild Erectile Dysfunction
- 17-21: Mild to Moderate Erectile Dysfunction
- 11-16: Moderate Erectile Dysfunction
- 6-10: Severe Erectile Dysfunction
Measured: 3-6 months
Persistence of efficacy in erectile hardness
Persistence of efficacy in erectile hardness as measured by the validated erectile hardness scale (EHS) (3-6 months in placebo portion of crossover study). The scale ranges from Grade 0 - Grade 4. It measures the firmness of an erection over a period of time using the following grade interpretation:
- Grade 0: Penis does not enlarge.
- Grade 1: Penis is larger, but not hard.
- Grade 2: Penis is hard, but not hard enough for penetration.
- Grade 3: Penis is hard enough for penetration, but not completely hard.
- Grade 4: Penis is completely hard and fully rigid
Measured: 3-6 months

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects approximately 30 million men in the United States and is associated with factors such as aging, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle. ED can also negatively impact the quality of life of patients and their partners. Treatment decisions are typically made jointly between patients and their urologists, often starting with less invasive options. Oral phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5 inhibitors), including sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil, are commonly used as first-line therapy. While these medications improve erectile function in many patients, approximately 30-40% do not respond adequately to PDE5 inhibitor therapy alone. Patients who do not achieve sufficient benefit may require additional or more invasive treatment options.

Primary outcome
Change in erectile function

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing IncobotulinumtoxinA (100 Units) and Tadalafil 20 MG in people with Erectile Dysfunction, run by Northwestern University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 31 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in erectile function (time frame: 3-6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07537855, which also lists 8 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Aug 2026.
