What new ED medication is in the pipeline?

[rich2222]

It’s been a while since anything new has been launched.

I think Avanafil was probably the last.

What new treatments are in development or under trial?

[Mazzio]

MED2005 is the one that we are waiting for.

Yes, that's the one.

MED2005 is a topical gel developped by Futura Medical for the treatment of ED and should be available in 2021.

If i understand the study correct, MED2005 will only work on mild ED cases, basically a new "MUSE" treatment. Useless for most guys on frank talk.
What we need is this: https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-m ... ed-humans/
Unfortunately it's realistically 10 years away from hitting the marked but it will cure ED for good.
There was also some talk of botox being a potential ED treatment, not sure what happened.

[Mazzio]

I would not underestimate MED2005. I see it as a combo product to be used with pills. It would be great to get rid of injections with that combo.

Unfortunately the penile transplant technique described in your link still requires an inflatable implant in order to achieve erection. Wouldn't be any different from getting an implant installed today. This treatment you linked is for people who don't have a penis at all, or have a deformed/destroyed one.

I do tend to agree with your skepticism with regard to MED2005. There seems to be no apparent science to the product. There was always evident science to PDE5 inhibitors. The way in which they work was clearly understood. The pathway in which they boost was understood. Unless I have missed something MED2005 works through an evaporative process which somehow stimulates nerve endings in the head of the penis. How this works for any length of time is a mystery to me.

The study done with Botox was just a single one. It was performed with guys who had last stage erectile dysfunction and were about to receive an implant, so the risk for further damage to the penis was not a big issue. It worked quite well on these men. Once again the science behind this is understood. Botox reduced the contractile mechanism of smooth muscle, much like it does with muscles in the face when it used for cosmetic applications. I wont go into detail here. If you are interested the study is easy to find on the internet. More research needs to be done. However, this did look like it could be a viable treatment which could be administered a few times a year and I think much less was required than is needed for facial muscle paralysis.

What seems to make MED so unique is not the list of ingredients but Futura's DermaSys technology:

Our unique patented transdermal DermaSys® technology provides rapid and targeted local delivery of clinically proven effective medical treatments via the skin

On the other hand, it's a bit strange that we can't find any articles on medical journals, only economy newspapers. Could this be just a marketing move? Nothing like a new ED med to raise stock value!

I have no idea, let's wait and see. Fingers crossed!

Did you read the last sentence?

Although the team is hoping to be able to replace entire penises when they initiate trials, they think that a more realistic goal is to start with partial replacements, for example helping patients with erectile dysfunction.

This technology have more then 20 years of research behind it and would solve every ED issue out there assuming you're not a FtoM transsexual.
You could even increase you size to whatever using it.
This is it guys. It only needs to succeed in trails and done available for the public. We need some luck.

This is very encouraging, and i hope botox could be used as a stop-gap ED treatment before tissue engeenering becomes the new treatment standard for ED.

Since it is applied to the glans, I wonder if it improves sensitivity and thuscould help with anorgasmia.
