简要总结
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of intracavernosal (Xeomin®) (100U) as add-on therapy to sildenafil 100 mg on demand in men with ED and insufficient response to standard therapy with 100 mg sildenafil on demand during the 4-week open-label run-in phase.
The secondary objectives are to further describe the efficacy and safety of (Xeomin®) 100U IC as add-on therapy to sildenafil 100 mg on demand:
- to further assess efficacy using.
- i) a log diary five-item questionnaire completed after each sexual attempt (Sexual Encounter Profile);
- ii) a self-reporting measure that scores erection hardness on a 4 point scale completed after each sexual attempt;
- iii) The Global Assessment Question.
- to assess effect persistence at month 6 and month 9.
- to assess safety of (Xeomin®) 100U IC in combination with sildenafil 100 mg on demand.
详细描述
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will be conducted in 9 centers, study participants will be adult men with ED and insufficient response to standard therapy with 100 mg sildenafil on demand during the 4-week open label run-in-phase, follow-up in the study will be 10±2 months.
This is a standard procedure to use placebo as control in studies assessing the efficacy of pharmacological treatment of ED. Furthermore the placebo group provides a benchmark for an objective analysis of safety and tolerability findings. The open-label run-in phase assures that only subjects who are true non-responders i.e. with insufficient response to standard therapy with 100 mg sildenafil prn during the 4-week open-label run-in phase are randomized and participate in the double-blind treatment phase.
Participants distributed between groups at a ratio of 1:1.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in SEP3
时间窗: at baseline and month 3
Question providing information as duration of erectile. The SEP is a log diary with 5 questions answered after each sexual intercourse attempt, providing information as to whether the erection was hard enough to penetrate (SEP 2), or whether it was maintained for completion (SEP 3) or a satisfactory sexual experience (SEP 4).
Change in the erectile function
时间窗: at baseline and month 3
Change in the erectile function between baseline and month 3, measured by the International Index of Erectile Function - Erectile Function domain score (IIEF-EF). The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) is a 15-item self-report instrument assessing male sexual function. The Erectile Function (EF) domain score of the IIEF, comprised of items 1 to 5 and 15 from the IIEF, is used in this study.
