A Study of DA-8159 in Subjects With Erectile Dysfunction

This will be a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study in 300 erectile dysfunction patients. Patients will complete a screening visit (V1) to determine eligibility for the study based on the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) erectile function (EF) domain scores, patient history and safety measures. Patients that meet the entrance criteria for this study will enter a 4 week, drug-free run-in period to establish a baseline for the erectile function domain score and to meet the criteria for participation in the study. Patients successfully completing screen will be randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups at Visit 2 (V2): placebo or one of 3 active drug doses of DA-8159 tablets. Patients will be given medication for at-home use and will also be given diaries for recording information regarding sexual encounters, quality of erections and adverse events. At 4-week intervals for 3 months (V3, V4, V5), patients will return to the clinic to review and collect SEP diaries, safety data, 12-lead ECG and medication reconciliation. In addition, at each 4-week interval patients will complete an IIEF, and at Visit 5 will have blood drawn for safety evaluation. The primary efficacy end points are: a) the change in score (baseline to Visit 5) for the Erectile Function domain score of the IIEF, b) change in response, relative to baseline, for sexual encounter profile (SEP) question 2, and c) change in response, relative to baseline, for SEP question 3. For DA-8159 tablets to be judged efficacious, the DA-8159 tablet groups must be shown superior to the placebo group on all three measures.
