Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Earliest Onset Day Measured by Cumulative Percentage of Participants With Yes Response to Sexual Encounter Profile Diary Question 3 [ Time Frame: 4 days during double-blind period ]
    Cumulative percentage of participants achieving successful intercourse, as measured by "yes" responses to Sexual Encounter Profile diary question 3 (SEP3). SEP3 asks if the participant's erection lasted long enough to have successful intercourse.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Sexual Encounter Profile Diary Question Number 1, Change From Baseline to Post Baseline During the Double-blind Period in Percentage of Yes Responses [ Time Frame: Baseline and 14 days double-blind period ]
    Assessed was the mean change from baseline in the percentage of "yes" responses to the Sexual Encounter Profile Diary question number 1: "Were you able to achieve at least some erection (some enlargement of the penis)"? Data are presented as the mean percentage of participants who answered "yes".

  2. Sexual Encounter Profile Diary Question Number 2, Change From Baseline to Post Baseline During the Double-blind Period in Percentage of Yes Responses [ Time Frame: Baseline and 14 days double-blind period ]
    Assessed was the mean change from baseline in the percentage of "yes" responses to the Sexual Encounter Profile Diary question number 2: "Were you able insert your penis into your partner's vagina?" Data are presented as the mean percentage of participants who answered yes.

  3. Sexual Encounter Profile Diary Question Number 3, Change From Baseline to Post Baseline During the Double-blind Period in Percentage of Yes Responses [ Time Frame: Baseline and 14 days double-blind period ]
    Assessed was the mean change from baseline in the percentage of "yes" responses to the Sexual Encounter Profile Diary question number 3: "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?" Data are presented as the mean percentage of participants who answered "yes".

  4. Sexual Encounter Profile Diary Question Number 4, Change From Baseline to Post Baseline During the Double-blind Period in Percentage of Yes Responses [ Time Frame: Baseline and 14 days double-blind period ]
    Assessed was the mean change from baseline in the percentage of "yes" responses to the Sexual Encounter Profile Diary question number 4: "Were you satisfied with the hardness of your erection?" Data are presented as the mean percentage of participants who answered "yes".

  5. Sexual Encounter Profile Diary Question Number 5, Change From Baseline to Post Baseline During the Double-blind Period in Percentage of Yes Responses [ Time Frame: Baseline and 14 days double-blind period ]
    Assessed was the mean change from baseline in the percentage of "yes" responses to the Sexual Encounter Profile Diary question number 5: "Were you satisfied overall with this sexual experience?" Data are presented as the mean percentage of participants who answered "yes".

  6. Sexual Encounter Profile Diary Question 3, the Overall Distribution of Time to Onset by Yes Responses [ Time Frame: 4 days double-blind period ]
    Assessed was the median time to onset of efficacy (day when 50% of participants have had at least 1 successful intercourse attempt) within the first 4 days of therapy based on a "yes" response to the sexual encounter profile diary question 3: "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?" Data are based on participants who responded "yes". For the placebo group, onset of efficacy was not reached within the first 4 days of therapy, therefore, the analysis timeframe was expanded for this group to determine the median time to onset of efficacy.

  7. Sexual Encounter Profile Diary Question 3, Daily Cumulative Percentage of Successful Intercourse Attempts [ Time Frame: 14 days during double-blind period ]
    Assessed was the cumulative precentage of successful intercourse attempts (successful attempts relative to the total number of intercourse attempts) over the 14-day double-blind treatment period. A successful attempt was defined by a "yes" response to the sexual encounter profile diary question #3: "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?" Data are presented as the proportion of intercourse attempts for which participants answered "yes" relative to the total number of intercourse attempts. Total number of attempts = TNA.

  8. Sexual Encounter Profile Diary Question 3, Percentages of Yes Responses During the Double-blind and Open-label Periods for Participants Who Were Assigned to Placebo in the Double-blind Treatment Period [ Time Frame: 14 days double-blind and 14 days open-label ]
    Assessed were percentages of successful intercourse attempts relative to the total number of intercourse attempts over the 14-day open-label treatment period compared with the 14-day double-blind treatment period by dose group during the double-blind treatment period. A successful attempt was defined by a "yes" response to the sexual encounter profile diary question #3: "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?"

  9. Sexual Encounter Profile Diary Question 3, Percentages of Yes Responses in the Double-blind Period and the Open-label Period for Participants Who Were Assigned to Tadalafil 2.5 mg in the Double-blind Treatment Period [ Time Frame: 14-day double-blind and 14-day open-label ]
    Assessed were percentages of successful intercourse attempts relative to the total number of intercourse attempts over the 14-day open-label treatment period compared with the 14-day double-blind treatment period by dose group during the double-blind treatment period. A successful attempt was defined by a "yes" response to the sexual encounter profile diary question #3: "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?"

  10. Sexual Encounter Profile Diary Question 3, Percentages of Yes Responses in the Double-blind Period and the Open-label Period for Participants Who Were Assigned to Tadalafil 5 mg in the Double-blind Treatment Period [ Time Frame: 14-day double-blind and 14-day open-label ]
    Assessed were percentages of successful intercourse attempts relative to the total number of intercourse attempts over the 14-day open-label treatment period compared with the 14-day double-blind treatment period by dose group during the double-blind treatment period. A successful attempt was defined by a "yes" response to the sexual encounter profile diary question #3: "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?"

  11. Sexual Encounter Profile Diary Question 3, Percentages of Yes Responses During the Double-blind Period and the Open-label Period for Participants Who Didn't Respond to Tadalafil 2.5 mg During Double-blind Period [ Time Frame: 14 days double-blind and 14 days open-label ]
    Assessed were percentages of successful intercourse attempts relative to the total number of intercourse attempts in both treatment periods. A successful attempt was defined by a "yes" response to the sexual encounter profile diary question #3: "Did your erection last long enough for you to have successful intercourse?"
