Summary

Assessment of duration of erection with vardenafil 10 mg

Clinical Details

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Duration of Erection Following Vardenafil (10mg) Administration for Four Weeks in a Fixed Dose Regimen Compared to Placebo in Males With ED

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Placebo Control, Crossover Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Effect of vardenafil on the duration of erection

Secondary outcome: Perception of erection to be hard enough for penetration

Detailed description: The main characteristics of ED are the inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection which would allow the patient to insert his penis into his partner's vagina and more importantly to maintain the erection long enough for a successful completion of the intercourse. This study assessed the effect of 10mg vardenafil, taken on demand in an 'at home' setting, as compared to placebo (dummy medication with no pharmacological activity), on the duration of erection from the moment when the patient perceived his erection to be hard enough for penetration until withdrawal from the partner's vagina leading to successful completion which may or may not have included ejaculation. The patient used the stopwatch for the above assessments. The efficacy of oral ED treatments is measured by questionnaires and patient diaries.
