Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Mean Intravaginal Ejaculatory Latency Time (IELT) Compared Over All 8 Weeks of Treatment or Until Premature Discontinuation
Up to Week 8

Male participant needed to make a minimum of 4 attempts at SI and Baseline IELTs were assessed by stop watch measurements for each SI attempt. IELT was the elapsed time from vaginal penetration until ejaculation. On-treatment IELT for each participant was calculated by taking the median IELT from all valid on-treatment IELT attempts. Geometric mean IELT for each treatment was compared using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). LS mean values and two-sided p-values are from the general linear model ln(median IELT)= ln(Baseline IELT) + treatment + cluster. A step-down procedure was used to determine if the efficacy of on-demand GSK557296 was superior to placebo. First, the average of the geometric mean IELTs of the pooled 150mg and 50mg doses of GSK557296 was tested against placebo, and if significance was achieved with this global plateau trend test (p \< 0.05), then the simultaneous pair wise comparisons of the 150mg and 50mg doses to placebo would occur (each at an alpha level of 0.05).

Composite of PK parameters of 20 mg GSK557296 following single and repeat oral dosing
7 days

From the plasma concentration-time data, the following PK parameters will be determined: maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), time to Cmax (tmax), area under the plasma concentration-time curve \[AUC(0-t) and AUC(0-infinity)\], and apparent terminal phase half-life (t1/2). AUC(0-infinity) or AUC(0-τ) and Cmax following single and repeat doses may be used for assessment of dose proportionality.

Composite of PK parameters of 150 mg GSK557296 following single and repeat oral dosing
14 days

From the plasma concentration-time data, the following PK parameters will be determined: maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), time to Cmax (tmax), area under the plasma concentration-time curve \[AUC(0-t) and AUC(0-infinity)\], and apparent terminal phase half-life (t1/2). AUC(0- infinity) or AUC(0-τ) and Cmax following single and repeat doses may be used for assessment of dose proportionality.

up to 49 days

Safety and tolerability parameters assessments include adverse events, clinical laboratory, ECG, vital signs, and concurrent medication

Safety tests up to 24 hrs after dose 12-lead ECG to look at the heart prior to dose and up to 24 hours after Dual-lead telemetry to monitor the heart rhythms for 20 hours prior to dosing and up to 12 hours after dosing Periodic vital signs
