Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Subjects are eligible to be included in the study only if they meet all of the following criteria: [1] Present with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH; also referred to as BPH-LUTS [lower urinary tract symptoms]) based on the disease diagnostic criteria at screening. [2] Are men 45 years of age or older at screening. [3] Provide signed informed consent at screening. [4] Agree not to use any other approved or experimental pharmacologic BPH, OAB, or ED treatments, including alpha blockers, additional 5 ARIs, antimuscarinics, PDE5 inhibitors, or herbal preparations, at any time during the study. [6] Have not previously taken finasteride or dutasteride at any time prior to screening. [7] Have not previously taken any other short-acting BPH therapy (including herbal preparations), OAB, or ED therapy for at least 4 weeks prior to the start of the placebo lead-in period, or any investigational BPH therapy with an anticipated prolonged effect, within 6 months of screening. [8] Have LUTS with a total IPSS =13 at the start of the placebo lead-in period. [9] Have bladder outlet obstruction as defined by a urinary peak flow rate (Qmax) of =4 to =15 mL/second (from a prevoid total bladder volume [assessed by ultrasound] of =150 to =550 mL and a minimum voided volume of 125 mL) at the start of the placebo lead-in period. [10] Have prostate enlargement: prostate volume 30 cc or greater on TRUS at screening. [11] Demonstrate compliance with study drug administration requirements during the placebo lead-in period by administering =70% of prescribed doses, confirmed by documentation that the subject returned =30% of prescribed doses at randomization. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 12] Prostate-specific antigen levels >10.0 ng/mL at screening. 13] Prostate-specific antigen levels =4.0 to =10.0 ng/mL at screening, if prostate malignancy has not been ruled out to the satisfaction of an urologist. 14] Bladder postvoid residual volume =300 mL by ultrasound determination at the start of the placebo lead-in period. 15] History of any of the following pelvic conditions: [a]Pelvic surgery or any other pelvic procedure, including radical prostatectomy, pelvic surgery for removal of malignancy, or bowel resection. [b]Pelvic radiotherapy [c]Any pelvic surgical procedure of the urinary tract, including minimally invasive BPH-LUTS therapies and penile implant surgery. [d]Urologic malignancy or trauma. 16] Lower urinary tract instrumentation within 30 days of screening. 17] History of urinary retention or bladder stones within 6 months of screening 18] History of urethral obstruction due to stricture, valves, sclerosis, or tumor 19] Clinical evidence of any of the following bladder conditions:[a] Mullerian duct cysts [b] Atonic, decompensated, hypocontractile bladder [c] Detrusor-sphinctor dyssynergia [d] Intravesical obstruction [e] Interstitial cystitis 20] Clinical evidence of any of the following urinary tract conditions at screening: [a] Urinary tract infection [b] Urinary tract inflammation [c] Current antibiotic therapy for urinary tract infection.

| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that tadalafil 5 mg once daily co-administered with finasteride is superior to placebo once daily co-administered with finasteride for 12 weeks in improving the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and prostatic enlargement secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).;Secondary Objective: •To examine the impact of tadalafil 5 mg once daily versus placebo when co-administered with finasteride on erectile function in men with LUTS and prostatic enlargement secondary to BPH at 4, 12 and 26 weeks. •To evaluate the change from baseline of tadalafil 5 mg once daily versus placebo when coadministered with finasteride in the treatment of men with LUTS and prostatic enlargement secondary to BPH •To examine the impact of tadalafil 5 mg once daily versus placebo when coadministered with finasteride on urinary symptoms of BPH assessed at 26 weeks in men with LUTS and prostatic enlargement secondary to BPH •To assess the safety of tadalafil 5 mg once daily versus placebo when co-administered with finasteride for 26 weeks in the treatment of men with LUTS and prostatic enlargement secondary to BPH, as examined by the following measures: adverse events; vital signs; clinical laboratory tests; and Postvoid residual volume.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy measure is the change in total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) from baseline to 12 weeks of treatment | — |
