  • Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) greater than 10.0 nanogram (ng)/mL at 1st screening.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at Week 12 Endpoint (5 mg)

    The total IPSS is obtained by combining the scores of the responses to component questions 1 through 7.

The total IPSS is obtained by combining the scores of the responses to component questions 1 through 7. Each question is scored from 0-5 for a total IPSS range of 0-35 points; higher numerical scores from the IPSS questionnaire represent greater severity of symptoms. Least squares (LS) mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) Impact Index (BII) at Week 12 Endpoint (5 mg)

The BII is a 4-item, self-administered questionnaire evaluating impact of urinary problems on overall health and activity. Total scores range from 0 to 13; higher scores represent increased perceived impact of benign prostatic hyperplasia-lower urinary tract symptoms on overall health. Least squares (LS) mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model includes terms for treatment group, region, baseline covariate, baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Yes Responses to Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) Diary Question 2 at Week 12 Endpoint

Assessed as the mean change from baseline in the percentage of Yes responses to the SEP diary Question 2, "Were you able to insert your penis into your partner's vagina?" Data are presented as the mean percentage of yes responses per the number of sexual attempts for a participant during a study period. Least squares (LS) mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
