Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in Percentage of Sexual Attempts in Which Subjects Were Able to Maintain an Erection of Sufficient Duration to Have Successful Intercourse	Baseline, 12 weeks	Data presented as mean change from baseline in the percentage of Yes responses to Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) diary question 3 "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?"
Change in Percentage of Sexual Attempts in Which Subjects Were Able to Insert the Penis Into the Partner's Vagina	Baseline, 12 weeks	Data presented as mean change from baseline in the percentage of Yes responses to Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) diary question 2 "Were you able to insert your penis into your partner's vagina?"
Change in International Index of Erectile Function - Erectile Function Domain (IIEF-EF) Score	Baseline, End of Treatment (up to 12 weeks)	Questionnaire assesses subject's evaluation of erectile function over the previous 4-week period. Total score from questions 1-5 \& 15 ranges from 1 to 30. A higher score indicates better erectile function.
