About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Arm Clinical Trial of De-Stress and Perform Capsule in the Management of Stress-induced Premature Ejaculation in Healthy Adult Men

The current study focuses on clinical validation of efficacy of nutraceutical product in management of male health. In healthy adult men with induced premature ejaculation, the introduction of these nutraceuticals has been associated with notable improvements in quality of life. These supplements help them for enhanced sexual satisfaction, increased control over ejaculation, and a reduction in performance anxiety. The psychological benefits are significant, as the improvement in sexual function can lead to higher self-confidence and a more positive outlook on life.

Read the detailed description

This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm clinical trial of De-Stress and Perform Capsule in the management of stress-induced premature ejaculation in healthy adult men.

More than 60 participants will be randomized into three groups: Group A: De-Stress and Perform Capsule-U001 (20 participants), Group B: De-Stress and Perform Capsule-I001 (20 participants), Group C: Placebo Capsule-002 (20 participants) in a 1:1:1 ratio. The treatment duration will be 60 days. The efficacy of the investigational products will be compared between the groups.

Concomitant diseases/medication assessment will be performed at screening.

The efficacy of the intervention will be assessed by evaluating the following: changes in Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) score; changes in Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP) score, including PEP control, PEP satisfaction, PEP distress, PEP relationship problems, and PEP Index Score; changes in sexual stamina using Intravaginal Ejaculatory Latency Time (IELT) score; changes in Libido System Score (LSS) score; changes in levels of serum testosterone, cortisol, and LDH; changes in weight and BMI; changes in COPE Questionnaire scores, including Positive Subscale and Denial Subscale; changes in % fat and % skeletal muscle using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA); and changes in handgrip strength using a hand-held dynamometer, assessed at screening, day 30, and day 60.

Additionally, changes in blood flow will be assessed by penile Doppler in erectile dysfunction (ED) participants (a subset of 15 participants, i.e., 5 participants from each group). Changes in State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) score; changes in Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire scores, including Total Mood Disturbance and Depression; changes in cardiorespiratory endurance (maximal oxygen uptake VO2 max) by steps test; and changes in Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationships (PAIR) scores (to be completed by partner) will also be evaluated at screening and day 60.

Treatment compliance and tolerability of investigational products will be assessed at day 30 and day 60. Safety of the investigational treatment in terms of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) will be assessed at baseline, day 30, and day 60. Assessments of changes in vital sign parameters will be done thought the visit. Assessments of changes in complete blood count, liver function test, and kidney function test will be done at screening and day 60.

What is being measured

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

  1. Perceived Stress Scale

    The PSS-10 is widely used for measuring psychological distress. It contains 10 questions on a five-point scale from 0 to 4. The higher the score, the greater the feeling of stress. PSS-10 Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress. Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress.

    Measured: Screening, day 30 and day 60

  2. Premature ejaculation assessed using Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP) Questionnaire

    Based on Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP). Scale ranges from 'extremely' (0) to 'not at all' (4). An increase in score from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Screening, day 30 and day 60

  3. Sexual stamina assessed using intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT)

    Intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) was defined as the time from the initiation of sexual intercourse (penetration) until ejaculation occurred. Greater the time duration greater will be the sexual stamina

    Measured: Screening, day 30 and day 60

  4. libido system score (LSS)

    The Stamina Libido System Score (Often Abbreviated as SLS Score) is a Metric used to assess various aspects of Sexual health, stamina, and libido. Scoring system aims to Total Score Interpretation 0-2: loss of libido; 3-4: low libido; 5-7: good libido, and 8-12: high libido.

    Measured: Screening, day 30 and day 60

  5. Changes in serum testosterone

    The testosterone secretion will be evaluated by measuring serum testosterone levels

    Measured: Screening, day 30 and day 60

  6. Changes in Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)

    Blood level Lactate dehydrogenase was measured. (U/L)

    Measured: Screening, day 30 and day 60

  7. Body Mass Index (BMI)

    Body Mass Index (BMI) will be calculated using the standard formula from participants' height and weight. BMI = (Weight in Pounds / (Height in inches' x Height in inches)) x 703

    Measured: Screening, day 30 and day 60

  8. COPE Questionnaire

    Problem-Focused Coping: A high score indicates coping strategies that are aimed at changing the stressful situation. High scores are indicative of psychological strength, grit, a practical approach to problem solving and is predictive of positive outcomes.

    Emotion-Focused Coping: A high score indicates coping strategies that are aiming to regulate emotions associated with the stressful situation. High or low scores are not uniformly associated with psychological health or ill health, but can be used to inform a wider formulation of the respondent's coping styles.

    Avoidant Coping: A high score indicates physical or cognitive efforts to disengage from the stressor. Low scores are typically indicative of adaptive coping.

    Measured: Screening, day 30 and day 60

  9. Assessment of Maximum oxygen consumption

    Maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) should be calculated by the following equation:

    VO2 max (mL/kg/min) = 111.33 - (0.42 × heart rate (bpm))

    Measured: Screening, day 30 and day 60

  10. Assessment of % fat using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)

    It is calculated in terms of percentage

    Measured: Screening, day 30 and day 60

  11. Assessment of % skeletal muscle using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)

    It is calculated in terms of percentage.

    Measured: Screening, day 30 and day 60

  12. Handgrip strength

    To measure hand grip strength through Hydraulic Hand held Dynamo-meter. It will be measured in Kilogram force.

    Measured: Screening, day 30 and day 60

  13. STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory)

    STAI: State-Trait-Anxiety-Inventory-Score This test consists of 20 items and assesses the current state of anxiety in relation to the current situation in which the patient is to the current situation in which the patient finds herself (State Anxiety) and the general anxiety state existing state of anxiety, which represents a part of her personality (Trait Anxiety).

    The sum score has a range from 20-80. Its interpretation with respective score are discussed below:

    mild anxiety (20 to 39); moderate anxiety (40 to 59); intense anxiety (60 to 80).

    Measured: Screening and day 60

  14. Profile of Mood State (POMS) questionnaire

    The Profile of Mood States (POMS) is a widely used instrument that measures mood using a 40 item questionnaire with each item rated using a response scale of five categories ranging from "not at all" to "Extremely". Higher score indicates worse mood. Total POMS score categories and stress inference:0-40 = A little; 81-120= Quite a lot; 41-80= Moderately; 121-160= Extremely.

    Measured: Screening and day 60

  15. Intimacy problems

    Intimacy problems are assessed using the Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationships (PAIR) Inventory.

    Measured: Screening and day 60

  16. Assessment of blood flow

    Assessment of blood flow using penile Doppler-
