E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To confirm the efficacy of single oral doses of PF-00446687 200 mg in improving penile erectile activity, utilizing the penile plethysmography (Rigiscan® Plus) technique, in males suffering from erectile dysfunction. |

To assess subjective assessment of sexual arousal and desire by means of questionnaire following single doses of PF-00446687.
To determine the safety and toleration of PF-00446687 in this population.
To assess PK after single doses of PF-00446687 and sildenafil in this population.
To assess Agouti Related Protein (AgRP) levels in this population.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male subjects aged 18-65 years. 2. Subjects who have given written informed consent to participate in the study. 3. Subjects must be in a heterosexual stable relationship for at least the last 6 months. 4. Subjects with erectile dysfunction of at least six months duration prior to entering the study. Erectile dysfunction is defined as “the inability to attain and/or maintain penile erection sufficient for satisfactory performance”. [protocol ref 1] 5. Subjects with moderate to severe (6-16) erectile dysfunction as classified on the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). 6. Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are known responders to PDE5i’s, such as subjects with a current or recent (within 6 months) history of successful PDE5i use. 7. Subjects who are willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests and other trial procedures.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Subjects who are either known non-responders to, or unlikely to respond to treatment with either MC4 agonists or PDE5i’s. This includes subjects who are diabetic, subjects with significant neurological disease, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or previous pelvic surgery including radical and nerve sparing prostatectomy. 2. Subjects with any clinically significant abnormality, following review of pre-study laboratory data and after a full physical examination. 3. Subjects with a history of significant cardiac disease, particularly moderate or severe cardiac failure, unstable angina or recent myocardial infarction, stroke or life-threatening arrhythmia within the previous 6 months. 4. Subjects with a history of syncope or cardiac conduction abnormality (including paroxysmal brady or tachyarrhythmias). 5. Subjects who suffer from hypo- or hypertension (treated as well as untreated) or have a resting supine blood pressure below 90/50 mm Hg or above 170/110 or who show a postural drop in either systolic blood pressure of >20 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure of >10 mm Hg at screening. 6. Subjects who are currently receiving vasoactive medication, such as (but not limited to) α-blockers, β-blockers, calcium antagonists. 7. Subjects who are receiving drugs known to inhibit CYP3A4, such as ketoconazole (systemic), erythromycin, cimetidine, clarithromycin, fluvoxamine, intraconazole (systemic), voriconazole, protease inhibitors. 8. Subjects with any clinically significant haematological, renal or hepatic abnormality. 9. Subjects with major psychiatric disorders and those who have received treatment for any major psychiatric disorder (eg, psychosis or hospitalization due to major depression) within the past 12 months. 10. Subjects who have received any experimental (ie, non-approved) drug within the past four months (prior to the first dosing day of the study). 11.

Subjects with a history of controlled substance abuse within the past 2 years. 13. Subjects who, in the opinion of the principal investigator, have any medical or psychological condition or social circumstances which would impair their ability to participate reliably in the study, or who may increase the risk to themselves or others by participating. 14. Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are not likely to complete the study for whatever reason. 15. Subjects with a history of hypersensitivity to study drug and its excipients or known allergy to sildenafil and/or MC agonists. 16. Subjects with other forms of sexual dysfunction (eg, retrograde ejaculation, an ejaculation, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, hypoactive sexual desire and inhibited or absent orgasm). 17. Subjects with Peyrone’s disease. 18. Subjects with evidence or history of seizure disorder, clinically significant haematological, renal, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies at time of dosing). 19. History of febrile illness within 5 days prior to the first dose. 20. Subjects with any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (eg, gastrectomy). 21. Blood donation of approximately 1 pint (500 mL) within 56 days prior to dosing and subjects intending to donate during the study. 22. Subjects with a 12-lead ECG demonstrating QTc >450 msec at screening. Criteria specific to Sildenafil: 23. Subjects who are prescribed and/or taking medication which is contraindicated or cautioned with concomitant intake of PDE5 inhibitors, such as nitrates or nitric oxide donors in any form (oral, sublingual, buccal, inhalational or aerosols), cimetidine, CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as erythromycin, ketoconazole and protease inhibitors. 24. Subjects with retinitis pigmentosa. 25. Subjects who have loss of vision in one eye because of non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION), regardless of whether this episode was in connection or not with previous PDE5i exposure. 26. Subjects with congestive cardiac failure or coronary artery disease causing unstable angina, recent history of myocardial infarction or stroke. |
