Efficacy and Safety of the DTT106 in the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction Associated With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Official title

Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of the DTT106 in the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction Associated With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Overview

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the DTT106 in the treatment of erectile dysfunction associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia

Detailed description

After being informed about all risks and benefits and giving written informed consent, the subjects will undergo a 7-day screening to determine eligibility. After that, at visit 0 (V0), the subjects will be randomized to either the DTT106 or dutasteride + tamsulosin (0,5 mg + 0,4 mg).

Interventions

• Drug DTT106
  oral route
• Drug Dutasteride-Tamsulosin
  oral route

Primary outcome measures

• Change in the Erectile Function domain score of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-EF) at the end of treatment, from baseline. [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]

Secondary outcome measures (11)

• Change in maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]
• Decrease in post-void residual volume (PVR) [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]
• Improvement in urinary symptoms. [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]
• Improvement in urinary emptying symptoms [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]
• Improvement in urinary storage symptoms. [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]
• Improvement in the participant's quality of life in relation to their urinary condition [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]
• Improvement in the participant's sexual function [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]
• Improvement in the participant's orgasmic function. [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]
• Effectiveness of the treatment in improving the participant's sexual desire [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]
• Effectiveness in improving the participant's satisfaction with sexual relations [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]
• Overall satisfaction of the participant regarding their sex life. [Time frame: baseline and 12 weeks]
