What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Percentage of Sexual Attempts in Which Subjects Were Able to Maintain an Erection of Sufficient Duration to Have Successful Intercourse

    Data presented as mean change from baseline in the percentage of Yes responses to Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) diary question 3 "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?"

    Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks

  2. Change in Percentage of Sexual Attempts in Which Subjects Were Able to Insert the Penis Into the Partner's Vagina

    Data presented as mean change from baseline in the percentage of Yes responses to Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) diary question 2 "Were you able to insert your penis into your partner's vagina?"

    Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks

  3. Change in International Index of Erectile Function - Erectile Function Domain (IIEF-EF) Score

    Questionnaire assesses subject's evaluation of erectile function over the previous 4-week period. Total score from questions 1-5 \& 15 ranges from 1 to 30. A higher score indicates better erectile function.

    Time frame: Baseline, End of Treatment (up to 12 weeks)

Adverse events

Collected over AE reporting began when the subject provided written informed consent and extended until 28 calendar days after the last dose of the investigational product was administered, or until the subject was discontinued from the study, whichever was later.. Non-serious events are listed at a 2% frequency threshold.
