Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dapoxetine compared to placebo in men with premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction who are currently being treated with a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (ie, sildenafil, vardenafil, or tadalafil) for erectile dysfunction.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The Average Intravaginal Ejaculatory Latency Time (IELT) at Week 12
The intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) is the time it takes for a man to ejaculate during sexual intercourse (as measured by stopwatch). The data below show the average IELT measured in minutes at Baseline (before treatment) to Endpoint (after 12 weeks of treatment). In this study, patients took placebo or dapoxetine along with a stable dose of a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE5I) prescribed prior to study entry for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Baseline, Week 12
Secondary Outcomes (7)
The Percentage of Patients Reporting At Least a 2-category Increase in Control Over Ejaculation
At the end of treatment (Week 12)
The Percentage of Patients Who Achieved 1-category or Greater Decrease (Improvement) in Personal Distress Related to Ejaculation
At Endpoint (After 12 weeks of treatment)
The Percentage of Patients Reporting a Composite Score of At Least a 2-category Increase in Control Over Ejaculation and At Least a 1-category Decrease in Personal Distress
At the end of treatment (Week 12)
The Percentage of Patients Who Achieved a 1-category or Greater Increase in Satisfaction With Sexual Intercourse
Endpoint (After 12 weeks of treatment)
The Percentage of Patients Reporting At Least a "Better" Response to Treatment
Endpoint (After 12 weeks of treatment)
- +2 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Dapoxetine + PDE5I
EXPERIMENTALDapoxetine 30 mg to 60 mg tablets 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity prn (as needed) not to be taken more than once every 24 hours for 12 weeks + a PDE5I (phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor) prescribed prior to study entry for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Placebo + PDE5I
PLACEBO COMPARATORPlacebo tablets identical in appearance to dapoxetine taken 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity prn (as needed) not to be taken more than once every 24 hours for 12 weeks + a PDE5I (phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor) prescribed prior to study entry for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Interventions
Tablets identical in appearance to dapoxetine taken 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity prn (as needed) not to be taken more than once every 24 hours for 12 weeks.
30 mg to 60 mg tablets 1 to 3 hours before sexual activity prn (as needed) not to be taken more than once every 24 hours for 12 weeks.
Patients were to be using a stable regimen of a PDE5-I (i.e., sildenafil, vardenafil, or tadalafil), as reported by the patient for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) for at least 3 months before screening and up to 12 weeks during treatment in the study.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Clinical diagnosis of erectile dysfunction (ED), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) score \>=21 at screening and baseline, and receiving treatment with a stable regimen of a phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE 5) inhibitor (ie, sildenafil, vardenafil, or tadalafil) for the treatment of ED for at least 3 months before screening
- Study participant in a stable, monogamous sexual relationship with the same woman for at least 6 months before screening and plan to maintain this relationship for the duration of the study
- Study participant medically stable (ie, in good general health) on the basis of physical examination, medical history, vital signs, 12 lead ECG, and clinical laboratory tests performed at screening
You may not qualify if:
- History suggestive of syncope (a condition characterized by a loss of consciousness)
- History of medical events such as surgical interventions or neurologic conditions (eg, multiple sclerosis), trauma, or infections that are associated with the development of symptoms of premature ejaculation (PE) and considered a potential cause of PE
- Current major psychiatric disorder such as mood disorder, anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, mania, suicidal ideation, other psychotic disorder, or alcoholism
- Known allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
- Taken another investigational drug (or vaccine) within 30 days or used an investigational medical device within 6 months before screening, or enrolled in another investigational study
