Male Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ) - Sexual Function Study

November 28, 2007 updated by: Handok Inc.

An Open, Non-Comparative, Multicenter Study on the Sexual Function Improvement Following Treatment With Alfuzosin in Patients With Benign Prostate Hyperplasia

Primary:

To assess improvement in ejaculation from baseline to the end of treatment (Week 12 or premature withdrawal) with Alfuzosin 10mg OD, using MSHQ score.

Secondary:

  • To evaluate sexual function improvement
  • To evaluate LUTS (Lower Uninary Tract Symptoms) improvement
  • To evaluate the association between LUTS severity and sexual function.
  • To assess the safety and the tolerability of Alfuzosin 10mg OD.
