PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline to 24 weeks

Population: Patients who had at least one post-dose on-treatment efficacy assessment were included in the Full Analysis Set (FAS). The FAS was used for primary analyses.

To obtain information on satisfying sexual events (SSEs), a small personal handheld electronic device was to be used by the patients to record such information daily (eDiary). An SSE was recorded when a patient answered "yes" to the eDiary question: "Was the event satisfying for you?"
