Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at Week 12Baseline, Week 12

IPSS Total Score is the sum of Questions 1 through 7 of the IPSS questionnaire. Each question was scored from 0 (none/no symptoms) to 5 (frequent symptoms) for an IPSS Total Score ranging from 0 to 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 mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM).The model includes effects for treatment, country/region, prior alpha-blocker therapy, baseline Erectile dysfunction (ED) severity (mild/moderate/severe),visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, centered baseline value (defined as the baseline value for a participant - the overall baseline mean value), placebo lead-in total IPSS change (change from Visit 2 at Visit 3), centered baseline-by-treatment.The centered baseline-by-treatment and treatment-by-country interactions was removed if p \>= 0.10.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Yes Responses to Question 2 of the Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) Questionnaire at Week 12Baseline, Week 12

Participant-assessed diary assesses the mean change from baseline in the percentage of "yes" responses to SEP Q2, "Were you able to insert your penis into your partner's vagina?". The SEP Q2 score was determined as the percentage of "yes" responses to SEP Q2 out of all sexual attempts recorded during the time period. Change is defined as the percentage of "yes" responses at endpoint minus the percentage of "yes" responses at baseline. Least squares (LS) mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model includes terms for treatment, country/region, baseline ED severity (mild/moderate/severe), centered baseline value (defined as the baseline value for a participant - the overall baseline mean value), placebo lead-in total IPSS change (change from Visit 2 at Visit 3), the centered baseline-by-treatment and the treatment-by-country/region interactions. The interaction terms are removed if p \>= 0.10.

Change From Baseline in Yes Responses to Question 3 of the SEP Questionnaire at Week 12Baseline, Week 12

Participant-assessed diary assesses the mean change from baseline in the percentage of "yes" responses to SEP Q3, "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?".The SEP Q3 score is determined as the percentage of "yes" responses to SEP Q3 out of all sexual attempts recorded during the time period. Change was defined as the percentage of "yes" responses at endpoint minus percentage of "yes" responses at baseline. Least squares (LS) mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model includes terms for treatment, country/region, baseline ED severity (mild/moderate/severe), centered baseline value (defined as the baseline value for a participant - the overall baseline mean value), placebo lead-in total IPSS change (change from Visit 2 at Visit 3), the centered baseline-by-treatment and the treatment-by-country/region interactions.
