(136) A NONINTERVENTIONAL, RETROSPECTIVE MULTICENTER STUDY TO EVALUATE CCH TREATMENT IN ADULT MALE PARTICIPANTS WITH VENTRAL CURVATURE OF THE PENIS DUE TO PEYRONIE’S DISEASE
Abstract Introduction Peyronie’s disease (PD) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by the replacement of normal elastic fibers of the tunica albuginea with collagen-containing plaques. This alteration may result in penile deformities that are most evident during erection, which can lead to significant emotional distress, sexual dysfunction, and penile pain. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) is indicated for the treatment of adult men with PD with a palpable plaque and curvature deformity of at least 30 degrees at therapy onset. Notably, men with ventral curvature (VC) were not included in the CCH clinical trial program due to potential concerns over the proximity of the urethra to the site of injection. Currently, CCH is contraindicated in Peyronie’s plaques that involve the penile urethra. Urethral involvement of a PD plaque is rare due to the anatomy of those structures. PD plaques form in the tunica albuginea as opposed to the corpus spongiosum which directly surrounds the urethra. Also, multiple prospective and retrospective studies have documented favorable outcomes using CCH for PD with VC. Thus, CCH may be a reasonable treatment option for patients suffering with ventral and ventrolateral penile curvatures in the absence of direct urethral involvement. Objective We are conducting a multicenter real-world retrospective collaborative research study of the safety and effectiveness of CCH in the treatment of men who had PD with VC. Methods A Phase 4, multicenter, noninterventional, retrospective review of medical records from approximately 10-15 US physician sites is being conducted. Eligible patients include those ≥18 years old with a PD diagnosis with VC and a palpable plaque that had been treated with CCH from 2014 to the study start date at the site. The primary effectiveness endpoint is percent change from (pretreatment) baseline in degree of VC at the last visit as measured at follow-up within 6 months post-treatment. Secondary endpoints include mean change from Baseline in VC and the proportion of patients with ≥30% improvement from baseline in VC at the last visit during which a measurement was collected within 6 months of final CCH treatment. Adverse events are collected throughout the study period to assess safety. Results In this first look at early data, 32 eligible patients with a median age (range) of 58.0 years (25-75 years) were included in the analysis. The percent change in penile curvature from baseline decreased, representing an improvement of 45.4% (SD: 28.62 [0-100]) (Figure), with 68.8% (22/32) of patients experiencing ≥30% improvement from baseline in VC. There were no serious adverse events. Five patients had at least one treatment-related adverse event (TRAE); 4 TRAEs were mild-to-moderate in severity and 2 were unknown. There were no reports of urethral involvement or injury. TRAEs were related to injection site bruising (n = 3), hemorrhage (n = 1), swelling (n = 1), and muscle spasm (n = 1). Conclusions This first look at early data reflecting improvements in men with PD and VC (data cutoff: 06/14/2024) is consistent with findings of effectiveness and tolerability of CCH in the treatment of men with dorsal and dorsolateral penile curvature.

(244) Participants with Penile Pain at Baseline May Benefit from Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum Treatment: A Post Hoc Analysis
Abstract Introduction Peyronie’s disease (PD) is traditionally categorized into 2 phases: acute (active) and chronic (stable) phase; however, clinical definitions and distinction between the phases vary in the literature and remain blurred.[1] The American Urological Association guidelines outline changing symptoms with the presence of pain as a defining symptom of acute disease, but provide little guidance about timeframe.[2] Historically, acute-phase characteristics include presence of penile pain and progressing deformity (eg, worsening penile curvature), with time from symptom onset to acute phase completion being <3–18 months.[1] While there may be academic utility in temporally categorizing PD, it may limit or postpone the treatment options for patients suffering from the condition. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) is an approved nonsurgical PD treatment option and several studies suggest its safety and efficacy in acute phase PD.[3-6] In light of these studies and ambiguity in dichotomizing phases, previous clinical trial data were reanalyzed to investigate the potential for opening the gamut of treatment options at earlier timepoints in the disease process. Objective This analysis examines CCH treatment efficacy on improving penile curvature in participants presenting with/without penile pain at baseline and disease duration of 12–18 months or >18 months from the CCH clinical trial program. Methods Literature related to CCH treatment of acute phase PD was compiled and treatment outcomes assessed. Additionally, a post hoc analysis of pooled data from two phase 3 randomized, double-blind trials of CCH in PD (IMPRESS I, NCT01221597; IMPRESS II, NCT01221623) was conducted. CCH-treated participants were stratified by the reporting of moderate-severe pain or no pain at baseline based on the following study measures: penile pain on palpation, penile pain on erection, PD questionnaire (PDQ) combined questions 7–9, and PDQ question 10 only. Additional subgroup analyses stratified participants by presence of pain and disease duration (12–18 or >18 months). The primary efficacy endpoint was the percentage change in penile curvature at week 52 from baseline. Results The IMPRESS I/II data analysis found that participants who experienced moderate-severe pain at baseline had penile curvature improvements by week 52 similar to participants with no pain at baseline. Across all pain measures, the percentage decreases in mean penile curvature from baseline ranged from 29%–42% for moderate-severe pain groups and 35%–37% for no penile pain groups. There were no clear differences in mean penile curvature improvement between groups for any specific pain measure when stratified by disease duration of 12–18 months (moderate-severe pain, 32%–40% improvement; no pain, 23%–29% improvement) versus >18 months (moderate-severe pain, 24%–44% improvement; no pain, 37%–40% improvement). Outcomes from the IMPRESS trials were comparable in context with published literature. Conclusions Based on a subanalysis of IMPRESS data, there were no clear differences identified in CCH treatment outcomes between participants experiencing moderate-severe pain or no pain at baseline regardless of disease duration (12–18 versus >18 months). These analyses are consistent with other literature evaluating the efficacy of CCH in the acute phase of disease and suggest that ongoing pain is not a contraindication to CCH therapy.

Effect of obesity on overall survival in patients diagnosed with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML).
7064 Background: Obesity is a growing medical challenge that has strong association with many comorbid diseases. Body mass index (BMI) is used as one indicator for obesity. A few papers have linked hematological cancers with a worse prognosis if obesity was present. Aim: to study the influence of obesity clinical outcome in patients (pts) with CMML. Methods: A retrospective chart review of pts with CMML at Mayo Clinic Rochester between 1994–2011 was done. BMI was calculated at diagnosis or first time visit. Overweight was defined as BMI ≥25, while obesity as BMI >30. IRB approval was obtained. Comparison between medians was done using Wilcoxon test, while survival estimates were calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates via JMP software v.9. Results: We found227 pts with a median follow-up of 311 days, 68% of which weremales. Median age was 71 years, hemoglobin 11 gm/dL, white blood cells (WBC) 12x 109/L, and platelets 90x 109/L. Obese pts had a median age of 68 (p=0.0058), hemoglobin 11 gm/dL (p=0.0018), WBC 13.5 x 109/L, platelets 115x109/L (p=0.012), PB blasts 0, bone marrow (BM) blasts 3.5% compared to non-obese pts (73, 10, 11, 78, 0, 3%, respectively). Diploid cytogenetics were similar in both groups (68% vs 64%, respectively, p=0.54). Leukemic transformation into acute myeloid leukemia (LT) was found in 13% vs 10% (p=0.83). Overall response (OR) was 24% and 23%, respectively (p=0.2), when limited to hypomethylating agents OR was 33% vs 27%, respectively (p=0.62). Median OS was found to be similar (571 day vs 569 days, respectively, p=0.56). When compared, overweight pts had similar outcome to non-overweight. Median LT was 11% vs 15% respectively, OR was 21% vs 28% respectively (p=0.5), and OS was 571 days vs 549 days respectively (p=0.21). On a multivariate analysis age, hemoglobin, platelets, BM blasts%, gender, and obesity (p=0.048) were of a significant value for OS. Conclusions: When compared, both obesity and overweight did not affect demographic characteristics, overall response, or transformation into AML. When comparing median overall survival, obesity was not a significant factor, possibly due to short follow-up. However, on multivariate analysis obesity did have a negative impact on overall survival.
