Arms & Interventions
Tadalafil
Intervention: tadalafil (Drug)
Placebo
Intervention: Placebo (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline to 12 Weeks, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)
Time Frame: Baseline, 12 weeks
The IPSS Total Score is obtained by combining the scores of the responses to Question 1 through Question 7. Each question is scored from 0-5 for a total IPSS range of 0-35 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 of covariance (ANCOVA). The model includes terms for treatment group, region, centered-baseline covariate, centered-baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.
