[1] Additional details about the analysis, such as null hypothesis and power calculation:
  The null hypotheses (no treatment effect with respect to IIEF EF domain or SEP2 or SEP3) were each tested at a specified level of 0.05. In order to pass a serial gatekeeper, it was necessary to reject all three hypotheses. The two null hypotheses (no treatment effect with respect to subject SLQQ-SQoL domain and no treatment effect with respect to partner SLQQ-SQoL domain) were then each tested at a significance level of 0.025.
[2] Other relevant information, such as adjustments or degrees of freedom:
  Change from baseline ANCOVA model: treatment group, baseline value, pooled site. Baseline-by-treatment interaction included if interaction at p<0.10.
[3] Additional information, such as whether or not the p-value is adjusted for multiple comparisons and the a priori threshold for statistical significance:
  Hypotheses were tested in a sequential fashion using a gatekeeping strategy and adjusted for multiplicity. Statistical significance at 0.05 level was required for this variable
