Participant Flow

The first phase of the study was a run-in phase that lasted for approximately 4 weeks. During this time, subjects did not use any form of treatment for erectile dysfunction and were instructed to make at least 4 sexual intercourse attempts with their sexual partner. The purpose of this phase was to obtain baseline data for analysis purposes.

Population: Included in the analysis were all subjects with successful intercourse within the first 4 days of treatment, who have at least 1 baseline observation and who took at least 1 dose of study drug followed by at least 1 intercourse attempt, and who recorded SEP diary data for it within the first 4 days of therapy following randomization.

Assessed was the median time to onset of efficacy (day when 50% of participants have had at least 1 successful intercourse attempt) within the first 4 days of therapy based on a "yes" response to the sexual encounter profile diary question 3: "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?" Data are based on participants who responded "yes". For the placebo group, onset of efficacy was not reached within the first 4 days of therapy, therefore, the analysis timeframe was expanded for this group to determine the median time to onset of efficacy.

Population: Modified intent-to-treat population consisting of all subjects who have at least 1 baseline observation and who took at least 1 dose of study drug followed by at least 1 intercourse attempt, and who recorded SEP diary data for it within the first 4 days of therapy following randomization.

Assessed was the cumulative precentage of successful intercourse attempts (successful attempts relative to the total number of intercourse attempts) over the 14-day double-blind treatment period. A successful attempt was defined by a "yes" response to the sexual encounter profile diary question #3: "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?" Data are presented as the proportion of intercourse attempts for which participants answered "yes" relative to the total number of intercourse attempts. Total number of attempts = TNA.

Timeframe: 14 days double-blind and 14 days open-label

Population: Modified intent-to-treat population consisting of all subjects who have at least 1 baseline observation and who took at least 1 dose of study drug followed by at least 1 intercourse attempt, and who recorded SEP diary data for it within the first 4 days of therapy following randomization.

Assessed were percentages of successful intercourse attempts relative to the total number of intercourse attempts over the 14-day open-label treatment period compared with the 14-day double-blind treatment period by dose group during the double-blind treatment period. A successful attempt was defined by a "yes" response to the sexual encounter profile diary question #3: "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?"
