- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary study objective is to measure the efficacy of the Novoglan treatment by comparing the improvement in the degree of phimosis at the start of the study and at the end of the participant study. The degree of phimosis is measured by the Study Investigator using a Kikiros-inspired phimosis assessment scale in 6 points from grade 1 absolutely no retraction to grade 6 full and free retraction of the foreskin. [These measurements are carried out at Visit 1 at the start of the study treatment and at 6-8 weeks post-Study Visit 1 during the Final Study Visit (primary timepoint).]
