Official title
A Phase 2 Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Treatment Experience of Hezkue® and Hezkue Turbo® Compared With Select Commercially Available Sildenafil Products in Adult Men With Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how different sildenafil-based erectile dysfunction (ED) treatments affect erectile function in adult men. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does each assigned product improve erectile function over 12 weeks? What safety or tolerability issues occur when these products are used on an on-demand basis? Researchers will compare Hezkue® and Hezkue Turbo® with several commercially available sildenafil or sildenafil-plus-tadalafil products to see whether there are differences in effectiveness, treatment experience, or safety. Participants will: * Use one assigned ED treatment on demand for 12 weeks * Complete electronic diaries and questionnaires about sexual-encounter outcomes and treatment satisfaction * Attend study visits for safety checks, laboratory tests, and assessments of erectile function
Detailed description
This Phase 2, open-label, parallel-group clinical trial evaluates the real-world use of multiple sildenafil-based erectile dysfunction (ED) treatments, including two oral liquid formulations (Hezkue® and Hezkue Turbo®) and several commercially available tablet, chewable, or combination (sildenafil/tadalafil) products. The study is designed to characterize differences in erectile function outcomes, safety profiles, and patient-reported treatment experiences across these products when used on an on-demand basis.
The trial includes a screening period of up to 28 days, followed by 12 weeks of treatment with one assigned product. Participants will use electronic diaries and questionnaires to record sexual-encounter outcomes, timing of effects, treatment satisfaction, and other patient-reported measures. Safety evaluations include adverse event monitoring, vital signs, clinical laboratory assessments, and targeted cardiovascular, ophthalmologic, and otologic examinations.
The design reflects typical on-demand PDE5 inhibitor use and enables comparative assessment across distinct formulations and delivery systems (liquid spray, orodispersible/chewable, and standard tablets). Exploratory analyses will examine work productivity, activity impairment, healthcare utilization, and optional partner-reported measures to better understand the broader impact of ED treatment in daily life.
