Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: This study investigates the effect of tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase-type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor, on urethral pressure in healthy female volunteers.;Secondary Objective: To assess the effect of tadalafil on anal pressure, on uroflow parametres, and on the urethral - and anal blood pressure.;Primary end point(s): • Difference in average urethral opening pressure (UOP) after administration of 40 mg tadalafil (UOP-tadalafil) compared to UOP after placebo (during relaxation).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Two hours post dose of study drug (tadalafil/placebo) on study day 1 and 2. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Difference in average anal opening pressure (AOP) after administration of 40 mg tadalafil compared to AOP after placebo (during relaxation). • Difference in average UOP-tadalafil and average UOP-placebo during squeezing. • Difference in average AOP-tadalafil and average AOP-placebo during squeezing. • Elastance (opening/closing) during relaxation and squeezing (tadalafil compared to placebo). • Hysteresis during relaxation and squeezing (tadalafil compared to placebo). • Urethral and anal blood pressure profiles. • Difference in maximum urine flow rate (Qmax) and average urine flow rate (Qave) after tadalafil and placebo administration, respectively. • Difference in voided volume after tadalafil and placebo administration, respectively. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Two hours post dose of study drug (tadalafil/placebo) on study day 1 and 2. | — |
