About this study
Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, 6-Month Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Topical Alprostadil in Hysterectomized Women With Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD)
Approximately 300 patients with female sexual arousal disorder who meet eligibility criteria will be enrolled and randomized to receive either active drug or matching placebo. After a two-month, non-treatment period, patients will receive study drug for 6 months and will record information about sexual encounters in a daily diary. Study drug will be applied directly to the genital area 30-60 minutes before initiation of sexual activity. The endpoint of the study is based on the use of a standard measure of sexual function (FSEP).
Read the detailed description
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-design study involving about 300 women who are 21-60 years of age inclusive, who have undergone a hysterectomy (with or without oophorectomy), and who have a primary diagnosis of FSAD. The diagnosis of FSAD will be made based on a medical and sexual history and confirmed using a structured interview by trained personnel. Study subjects will undergo a 2-month non-treatment run-in period followed by a 6-month period of blinded study therapy. Study drug is applied topically to the genitalia 30-60 minutes prior to initiation of sexual activity. Study subjects will complete several questionnaires at various times during the study and will complete a daily diary. The study endpoint is based on the FSEP and other standard questionnaires, as well as safety and tolerability of study drug.

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
FSEP. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Mar 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
