About this study

Official title: An Open Label Study of the Long-term Safety of Dapoxetine HCl in the Treatment of Rapid Ejaculation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of dapoxetine in men with rapid ejaculation.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, open-label (patients and Investigators will know the name of the drug that they are receiving) study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of dapoxetine therapy in adult men with premature (rapid) ejaculation (PE) who participated in 1 of 2 previous studies of dapoxetine ( ALZA Protocol C-2002-012 or C-2002-013). The length of the study will be up to 9 months. During the study, patients will be monitored for safety by review of adverse events and findings from routine laboratory tests, vital signs measurements, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and physical examinations. Oral tablets of dapoxetine (30 mg or 60 mg) will be self-administered by patients once daily, as needed, for up to 9 months. No more than 1 dose within a 24-hour period should be taken. If the 60 mg dose of dapoxetine is not well tolerated, the dose may be decreased to 30 mg dapoxetine for the remainder of the study. Patients who do not tolerate the 30 mg dose of dapoxetine should be discontinued from the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing dapoxetine in people with Ejaculation and Erectile Dysfunction, run by Alza Corporation, DE, USA.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 0 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 19 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Adverse events reported (time frame: Up to 9 months). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 May 2011.
