|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of tadalafil 5 mg daily for 12 weeks compared with placebo in improving the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) in men with signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH; also referred to as BPH-LUTS [lower urinary tract symptoms]).;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the change in IPSS from baseline after 12 weeks.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the change from baseline of tadalafil 5 mg daily for 12 weeks compared with placebo in the treatment of men with BPH-LUTS as assessed by BPH Impact Index (BII), IPSS domains and Global Impression of Improvement indices To evaluate the change from baseline of tadalafil 5 mg daily for 12 weeks compared with placebo in the treatment of men with BPH-LUTS as assessed by uroflowmetry measurements To evaluate the change from baseline of tadalafil 5 mg daily compared with placebo after 1 week of treatment in men with BPH-LUTS as assessed by the Modified IPSS To evaluate the change from baseline of tadalafil 5 mg compared with placebo after 4 weeks of treatment in men with BPH-LUTS To examine the impact of tadalafil 5 mg for 12 weeks on erectile function (EF) in men with both BPH-LUTS and erectile dysfunction as assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function EF Domain To assess the safety of tadalafil 5 mg for 12 weeks in the treatment of men with BPH-LUTS | — |
