Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-EF Sub-Score) at 12 Weeks or Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)
from baseline up to 12 weeks

The primary variable was the treatment group difference from baseline to Week 12 or LOCF of the least square mean difference in the IIEF-EF domain score (Range: 1-30 ordinal. Directionality: severity of erectile dysfunction: \<=10 'severe'; 11-16 'moderate'; 17-21 'mild to moderate'; 22-25 'mild'; \>25 'no ED'.)

Change in Percentage From Baseline in Success of Penetration (SEP2) at 12 Weeks
from baseline up to 12 weeks of treatment

SEP (Sexual Encounter Profile) items success rates are the percentage of all valid and successful intercourse attempts (items answered 'yes') in relation to all valid attempts. Here the SEP item refers to the ability to penetrate the partner.

Change From Baseline in Success of Erection Maintenance at 12 Weeks
from baseline up to 12 weeks of treatment

SEP items success rates are the percentage of all valid and successful intercourse attempts (items answered 'yes') in relation to all valid attempts. Here the SEP item refers to the ability to maintain an erection after penetration.

The primary pharmacodynamic variable (endpoint) is the placebo-corrected mean maximal decrease in supine systolic blood pressure from baseline (1 hour before dose) to within 8 hours of dosing with 10 mg ODT formulation of vardenafil HCl and nifedipine.
Up to 8 hours of combination dosing of vardenafil ODT and nifedipine.

Secondary Endpoints

Percentage of Subjects Achieving "Back to Normal" Erectile Function
up to 12 weeks of treatment
Change in Percentage From Baseline in Ability to Obtain an Erection at 12 Weeks
from baseline up to 12 weeks of treatment
Change in Percentage From Baseline in Satisfaction With the Hardness of Erection at 12 Weeks
from baseline up to 12 weeks of treatment

Frequently asked questions about Vardenafil ODT

What is Vardenafil ODT used for?

Vardenafil ODT is used for erectile dysfunction in men. It is an orally disintegrating tablet formulation of vardenafil, a small molecule being developed by Bayer AG. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and remains investigational, not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

How does Vardenafil ODT work?

Vardenafil ODT works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5, which increases blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection in response to sexual stimulation. This mechanism is typical of PDE5 inhibitors used to treat erectile dysfunction.

Who makes Vardenafil ODT?

Vardenafil ODT is developed by Bayer AG, a German pharmaceutical company traded on the OTC market under the ticker BAYRY. The drug is in Phase 3 clinical trials for erectile dysfunction and is not yet approved for commercial use.

What phase is Vardenafil ODT in?

Vardenafil ODT is in Phase 3 clinical development for erectile dysfunction. It has completed two clinical trials, including a Phase 3 efficacy study and a Phase 1 drug interaction study, but it is still investigational and not FDA approved.

What clinical trials is Vardenafil ODT in?

Vardenafil ODT has completed two clinical trials: NCT00655629, a Phase 3 placebo-controlled study in 339 men with erectile dysfunction, and NCT01348880, a Phase 1 interaction study with nifedipine in 42 men. Both trials are completed, and no active trials are ongoing.
