Maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), an objective measure of urine flow, was assessed as a secondary efficacy endpoint in Study J and as a safety endpoint in Study K.The results for BPH patients with moderate to severe symptoms and a mean age of 63.2 years (range 44 to 87) who received either CIALIS 5 mg for once daily use or placebo (N=748) in Studies J and K are shown in Table 19 and Figures 5 and 6, respectively.In each of these 2 trials, CIALIS 5 mg for once daily use resulted in statistically significant improvement in the total IPSS compared to placebo. Mean total IPSS showed a decrease starting at the first scheduled observation (4 weeks) in Study K and remained decreased through 12 weeks.In Study J, the effect of CIALIS 5 mg once daily on maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) was evaluated as a secondary efficacy endpoint. Mean Qmax increased from baseline in both the treatment and placebo groups (CIALIS 5 mg: 1.6 mL/sec, placebo: 1.2 mL/sec); however, these changes were not significantly different between groups.In Study K, the effect of CIALIS 5 mg once daily on Qmax was evaluated as a safety endpoint. Mean Qmax increased from baseline in both the treatment and placebo groups (CIALIS 5 mg: 1.6 mL/sec, placebo: 1.1 mL/sec); however, these changes were not significantly different between groups.Efficacy Results in Patients with BPH initiating CIALIS and Finasteride – CIALIS for once daily use initiated together with finasteride was shown to be effective in treating the signs and symptoms of BPH in men with an enlarged prostate (>30 cc) for up to 26 weeks. This additional double-blinded, parallel-design study of 26 weeks duration randomized 696 men to initiate either CIALIS 5 mg with finasteride 5 mg or placebo with finasteride 5 mg. The study population had a mean age of 64 years (range 46-86). Patients with multiple co-morbid conditions such as erectile dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and other cardiovascular disease were included.CIALIS with finasteride demonstrated statistically significant improvement in the signs and symptoms of BPH compared to placebo with finasteride, as measured by the total IPSS at 12 weeks, the primary study endpoint (see Table 20).

Key secondary endpoints demonstrated improvement in total IPSS starting at the first scheduled observation at week 4 (CIALIS -4.0, placebo -2.3: p<.001) and the score remained decreased through 26 weeks (CIALIS -5.5, placebo -4.5; p=.022).

8.5 Geriatric Use

Does Cialis increase the size of a man’s penis?

The study population had a mean age of 64 years (range 46-86). Patients with multiple co-morbid conditions such as erectile dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and other cardiovascular disease were included.CIALIS with finasteride demonstrated statistically significant improvement in the signs and symptoms of BPH compared to placebo with finasteride, as measured by the total IPSS at 12 weeks, the primary study endpoint (see Table 20). Key secondary endpoints demonstrated improvement in total IPSS starting at the first scheduled observation at week 4 (CIALIS -4.0, placebo -2.3: p<.001) and the score remained decreased through 26 weeks (CIALIS -5.5, placebo -4.5; p=.022). However, the magnitude of the treatment difference between placebo/finasteride and CIALIS/finasteride decreased from 1.7 points at Week 4 to 1.0 point at Week 26, as shown in Table 20 and in Figure 7. The incremental benefit of CIALIS beyond 26 weeks is unknown.Figure 7: Mean Total IPSS Changes By Visit in BPH Patients Taking CIALIS for Once Daily Use Together With FinasterideIn the 404 patients who had both ED and BPH at baseline, changes in erectile function were assessed as key secondary endpoints using the EF domain of the IIEF questionnaire.

CIALIS with finasteride (N=203) was compared to placebo with finasteride (N=201). A statistically significant improvement from baseline (CIALIS/finasteride 13.7, placebo/finasteride 15.1) was observed at week 4 (CIALIS/finasteride 3.7, placebo/finasteride -1.1; p<.001), week 12 (CIALIS/finasteride 4.7, placebo/finasteride 0.6; p<.001), and week 26 (CIALIS/finasteride 4.7, placebo/finasteride 0.0; p<.001).14.4 CIALIS 5 mg for Once Daily Use for ED and BPHThe efficacy and safety of CIALIS for once daily use for the treatment of ED, and the signs and symptoms of BPH, in patients with both conditions was evaluated in one placebo-controlled, multinational, double-blind, parallel-arm study which randomized 606 patients to receive either CIALIS 2.5 mg, 5 mg, for once daily use or placebo. ED severity ranged from mild to severe and BPH severity ranged from moderate to severe. The full study population had a mean age of 63 years (range 45 to 83) and was 93% White, 4% Black, 3% other races; 16% were of Hispanic ethnicity. Patients with multiple co-morbid conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and other cardiovascular disease were included.In this study, the co-primary cialis soft gel endpoints were total IPSS and the Erectile Function (EF) domain score of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). However, the magnitude of the treatment difference between placebo/finasteride and CIALIS/finasteride decreased from 1.7 points at Week 4 to 1.0 point at Week 26, as shown in Table 20 and in Figure 7. The incremental benefit of CIALIS beyond 26 weeks is unknown.Figure 7: Mean Total IPSS Changes By Visit in BPH Patients Taking CIALIS for Once Daily Use Together With FinasterideIn the 404 patients who had both ED and BPH at baseline, changes in erectile function were assessed as key secondary endpoints using the EF domain of the IIEF questionnaire.

Patients with multiple co-morbid conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and other cardiovascular disease were included.In this study, the co-primary cialis soft gel endpoints were total IPSS and the Erectile Function (EF) domain score of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). One of the key secondary endpoints in this study was Question 3 of the Sexual Encounter Profile diary (SEP3). Timing of sexual activity was not restricted relative to when patients took CIALIS.The efficacy results for patients with both ED and BPH, who received either CIALIS 5 mg for once daily use or placebo (N=408) are shown in Tables 21 and 22 and Figure 8.CIALIS 5 mg for once daily use resulted in statistically significant improvements in the total IPSS and in the EF domain of the IIEF questionnaire.

5.7 Renal Impairment

Results in General ED Population in Trials Outside the US — The 5 primary efficacy and safety studies conducted in the general ED population outside the US included 1112 patients, with a mean age of 59 years (range 21 to 82 years). In addition, there were improvements in EF domain scores, success rates based upon SEP Questions dapoxetine and cialis 2 and 3, and patient-reported improvement in erections across patients with ED of all degrees of disease severity while taking CIALIS, compared to patients on placebo. Therefore, in all 7 primary efficacy and safety studies, CIALIS showed statistically significant improvement in patients' ability to achieve an erection sufficient for vaginal penetration and to maintain the erection long enough for successful intercourse, as measured by the IIEF questionnaire and by SEP diaries. Efficacy Results in ED Patients with Diabetes Mellitus — CIALIS was shown to be effective in treating ED in patients with diabetes mellitus. In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, parallel-arm design prospective trial, CIALIS demonstrated clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in erectile function, as measured by the EF domain of the IIEF questionnaire and Questions 2 and 3 of the SEP diary (see Table 15).

Efficacy Results in ED Patients following Radical Prostatectomy — CIALIS was shown to be effective in treating patients who developed ED following bilateral nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy. In 1 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, parallel-arm design prospective trial in this population (N=303), CIALIS demonstrated clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in erectile function, as measured by the EF domain of the IIEF questionnaire and Questions 2 and 3 of the SEP diary (see Table 16). Results in Studies to Determine the Optimal Use of CIALIS — Several studies were conducted with the objective of determining the optimal use of CIALIS in the treatment of ED. At or prior to 30 minutes, 35% (26/74), 38% (28/74), and 52% (39/75) of patients in the placebo, 10-, and 20-mg groups, respectively, reported successful erections as defined above. Two studies were conducted to assess the efficacy of CIALIS at a given timepoint after dosing, specifically at 24 hours and at 36 hours after dosing. CIALIS 5 mg for once daily use also resulted in statistically significant improvement in SEP3.

CIALIS 2.5 mg did not result in statistically significant improvement in the total IPSS.CIALIS for once daily use resulted in improvement in the IPSS total score at the first scheduled observation (week 2) and throughout the 12 weeks of treatment (see Figure 8).In this study, the effect of CIALIS 5 mg once daily on Qmax was evaluated as a safety endpoint. Mean Qmax increased from baseline in both the treatment and placebo groups (CIALIS 5 mg: 1.6 mL/sec, placebo: 1.2 mL/sec); however, these changes were not significantly different between groups. The efficacy and safety of tadalafil in the treatment of erectile dysfunction has been evaluated in 22 clinical trials of up to 24-weeks duration, involving over 4000 patients. CIALIS, when taken as needed up to once per day, was shown to be effective in improving erectile function in men with erectile dysfunction (ED).

1.3 Erectile Dysfunction and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

In the first of these studies, 348 patients with ED were randomized to placebo or CIALIS 20 mg. At the 36-hour timepoint (more specifically, 33 to 39 hours), 49/133 (37%) of patients reported at least 1 successful intercourse in the placebo group versus 88/137 (64%) in the CIALIS 20-mg group. In the second of these studies, a total of 483 patients were evenly randomized to 1 of 6 groups: 3 different dosing groups (placebo, CIALIS 10, or 20 mg) that were instructed to attempt intercourse at 2 different times (24 and 36 hours post-dosing). At the 36-hour timepoint, the mean, per-patient percentage of attempts resulting in successful intercourse were 33, 56, and 62% for placebo, CIALIS 10-, and 20-mg groups, respectively. CIALIS was studied in the general ED population in 7 randomized, multicenter, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm design, primary efficacy and safety studies of 12-weeks duration. Additional efficacy and safety studies were performed in ED patients with diabetes mellitus and in patients who developed ED status post bilateral nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy. In these 7 trials, CIALIS was taken as needed, at doses ranging from 2.5 to 20 mg, up to once per day. Food and alcohol intake were not restricted. Several assessment tools were used to evaluate the effect of CIALIS on erectile function. SEP Question 2 asks, “Were you able to insert your penis into the partner's vagina?” SEP Question 3 asks, “Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?” The overall percentage of successful attempts to insert the penis into the vagina (SEP2) and to maintain the erection for successful intercourse (SEP3) is derived for each patient. Results in ED Population in US Trials — The 2 primary US efficacy and safety trials included a total of 402 men with erectile dysfunction, with a mean age of 59 years (range 27 to 87 years). The treatment effect of CIALIS did not diminish over time.

13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology

One of the key secondary endpoints in this study was Question 3 of the Sexual Encounter Profile diary (SEP3). Timing of sexual activity was not restricted relative to when patients took CIALIS.The efficacy results for patients with both ED and BPH, who received either CIALIS 5 mg for once daily use or placebo (N=408) are shown in Tables 21 and 22 and Figure 8.CIALIS 5 mg for once daily use resulted in statistically significant improvements in the total IPSS and in the EF domain of the IIEF questionnaire. CIALIS 5 mg for once daily use also resulted in statistically significant improvement in SEP3. CIALIS 2.5 mg did not result in statistically significant improvement in the total IPSS.CIALIS for once daily use resulted in improvement in the IPSS total score at the first scheduled observation (week 2) and throughout the 12 weeks of treatment (see Figure 8).In this study, the effect of CIALIS 5 mg once daily on Qmax was evaluated as a safety endpoint.
