Prostatic Hyperplasia
Conditions
Brief summary
Primary Objective: * To assess the sexual function improvement from baseline to the end of treatment (Week 24 or premature withdrawal (PW)) with XATRAL 10mg OD. Secondary Objective: * To evaluate the association between Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) severity and sexual disorders, * To compare the improvement in sexual function, urinary symptoms and Quality of Life among the different regions, * To correlate MSHQ (Male Sexual Health Questionnaire) and IIEF-5 (the 5-Item version of the International Index of Erectile Function), * To assess the onset of action of XATRAL 10mg OD, * To assess the peak flow rate improvement (Qmax), * To assess the safety and the tolerability of XATRAL 10mg OD.

| Evaluation of adverse events, vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate), PSA (Prostate-specific antigen; mandatory at baseline and optional at the end of treatment) and serum creatinine assessment (optional at baseline and at the end of treatment) | 24 weeks |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Mean change from baseline to 4, 12, and 24 weeks of treatment in MSHQ in the ejaculation score - Mean change from baseline to 4, 12 and 24 weeks of treatment in MSHQ ejaculation questions, in the erection questions and sexual activity and desire | 24 weeks |
| - Mean change from baseline to week 1 in I-PSS total score and sub-scores (objective onset of action) - Onset of action based on patient perception (questionnaire at Week 1) | 24 weeks |
