What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (CSFQ) total score

    The CSFQ is a subject-rated scale designed to measure changes in sexual function and is a structured, self-report, 14-item questionnaire, that measures sexual functioning as a total score (all 14 items), and on the subscales of pleasure, desire/frequency, desire/interest, arousal, and orgasm, rated on a 5 point scale, with each item rated from 1 to 5, and a total score range of 14 to 70. Lower scores are associated with worsened sexual functioning.

    Time frame: From Baseline to Day 35

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of subjects meeting criteria for sexual dysfunction.

    Proportion of subjects meeting criteria for sexual dysfunction (ie, CSFQ \<=47 for males and \<=41 for females) at any 2 consecutive visits during the double-blind treatment period.

    Time frame: 5 Weeks
