A Study of Tadalafil (LY450190) in Participants With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) Suggestive of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia LUTS (BPH-LUTS).

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2016-02-01

Summary

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug known as tadalafil in participants with benign prostatic hyperplasia who are being treated with an alpha1 blocker. This study has two treatment periods. Participants will receive tadalafil or placebo in each treatment period.

• Phase: Phase 4
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

• Finasteride within 2 months before screening

• Any erectile dysfunction treatment previously or currently

• Any overactive bladder treatment within 4 weeks before screening

• Coronary artery bypass graft surgery

• Percutaneous coronary intervention (for example, angioplasty or stent placement)

• Any evidence or history of heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] ≥ Class III).

• Currently receiving alpha1 blocker therapy for the treatment of hypertension.

• Current or history of any of the following symptoms:
