  • Lower urinary tract instrumentation (including prostate biopsy) within 30 days of 1st screening.
  • Clinical evidence of severe hepatic impairment at 1st screening.
  • Current neurologic disease or condition associated with neurogenic bladder (for example, Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis).
  • History of significant renal insufficiency as defined by the protocol.

Study LVHR is a Phase 3 study which will examine the efficacy and safety of tadalafil 2.5 and 5 mg once daily versus placebo for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with both ED and signs and symptoms of BPH.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in Total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at Week 12 Endpoint (5 mg)

    The total IPSS is obtained by combining the scores of the responses to component questions 1 through 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, baseline covariate, baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  2. Change From Baseline in International Index of Erectile Function - Erectile Function (IIEF-EF) Domain Score at Week 12 Endpoint (5 mg)

    Self-reported erectile function over the past 4 weeks. Questions 1-5 were scored from 0-5, and Question 15 from 1 to 5. Erectile Function Domain scores range from 1 to 30; lower numerical scores represent greater severity of erectile dysfunction. 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, baseline covariate, baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  3. Change From Baseline in Total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at Week 12 Endpoint (2.5 mg)

    The total IPSS is obtained by combining the scores of the responses to component questions 1 through 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, baseline covariate, baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  4. Change From Baseline in International Index of Erectile Function - Erectile Function (IIEF-EF) Domain Score at Week 12 Endpoint (2.5 mg)

    Self-reported erectile function over the past 4 weeks. Questions 1-5 were scored from 0-5, and Question 15 from 1 to 5. Erectile Function Domain scores range from 1 to 30; lower numerical scores represent greater severity of erectile dysfunction. 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, baseline covariate, baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (26)
  1. Change From Baseline in Yes Responses to Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) Diary Question 3 at Week 12 Endpoint (5 mg)

    Assessed as the mean change from baseline in the percentage of Yes responses to the SEP diary Question 3, "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?" Data are presented as the mean percentage of Yes responses per the number of sexual attempts for a participant during a study period. 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, baseline covariate, baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  2. Change From Baseline in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) Impact Index (BII) at Week 12 Endpoint (5 mg)

    The BII is a 4-item, self-administered questionnaire evaluating impact of urinary problems on overall health and activity. Total scores range from 0 to 13; higher scores represent increased perceived impact of benign prostatic hyperplasia-lower urinary tract symptoms on overall health. 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, baseline covariate, baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  3. Change From Baseline in Yes Responses to Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) Diary Question 3 at Week 12 Endpoint (2.5 mg)

    Assessed as the mean change from baseline in the percentage of Yes responses to the SEP diary Question 3, "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?" Data are presented as the mean percentage of yes responses per the number of sexual attempts for a participant during a study period. Least squares (LS) mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tadalafil in people with Erectile Dysfunction and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 52 sites in 9 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 52 sites in United States, France, Canada, Greece, Mexico and 4 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Jun 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline in Total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at Week 12 Endpoint (5 mg) (time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00855582, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jul 2011.
