Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Males with primary PE, according to the ISSM Consensus Definition (a male sexual dysfunction characterized by ejaculation which always or nearly always occurs prior to or within about one minute of vaginal penetration; and, inability to delay ejaculation on all or nearly all vaginal penetrations; and, negative personal consequences, such as distress, bother, frustration and/or the avoidance of sexual intimacy) 2. Stable heterosexual relationship, with a single non pregnant, nonlactating female partner using adequate contraception (as confirmed by oral questioning of male study subject) in a relationship of greater than >4 months duration. This same partner will be the one with whom the subject makes and records all IELT attempts during the duration of the study. 3. Aged between 18 and 50 years (i.e. subjects must not have completed their 50th year birthday at the time of screening). 4. The subject must make at least four attempts at sexual intercourse on four separate days during the untreated run in period 5. The average intravaginal ejaculatory latency time must be =65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine if an on demand dosing of 50 or 150 mg of GSK557296 demonstrates superior efficacy with respect to duration of IELT during an 8 week study period compared to placebo in men with premature ejaculation.;Secondary Objective: 1. To assess safety and tolerability of 50 mg and 150 mg of GSK557296. 2. To assess change in the Index of Premature Ejaculation (IPE) from baseline and at the end of the 8 weeks of treatment 3. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of GSK557296 in men with premature ejaculation. 4. To characterize the dose/exposure response relationship using PK/PD modeling, as data permit. ;Primary end point(s): Intravaginal ejaculatory latency time: Time from vaginal penetration (start stopwatch) until ejaculation (stop stopwatch), assessed after every attempt at intercourse with 50mg, 150 mg GSK557296 or placebo therapy, compared over all 8 weeks of treatment or until premature discontinuation. | — |
