Sexual Function in Men Receiving Dutasteride for Androgenetic Alopecia

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. AEs related to sexual function are defined as: altered (decreased) libido, impotence, and ejaculation disorders.

AEs related to sexual function are defined as: altered (decreased) libido, impotence, and ejaculation disorders. Duration is the total number of non-overlapping days for all events per subject. A duration is censored if there is at least one event with unknown start date or end date, in which case the censored duration is the minimum number of days that a subject has experienced any of these events. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X, X in the category titles). NA=not applicable.

The IIEF is a validated 15-item questionnaire with individual items of the questionnaire assigned to five separate domains of sexual function (i.e., erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction). The IIEF was employed to assess treatment-related changes in men with erectile dysfunction. The erectile function domain of the IIEF (IIEF-EF) includes Questions 1 through 5 and Question 15 (maximum score of 30). A clinically meaningful gradient of severity of erectile dysfunction (ED) has been developed, indicating that a score of greater than 25 represents an individual without ED while men scoring <=25 may be classified as having ED. The values are presented for Week 4, Week 12 and Week 24. The Baseline assessment was defined as the latest assessment on or before the DB treatment start.

The global assessment questions consist of 2 questions, recording how much the participant perceives his sexual life has changed and how he perceives his ability to achieve and maintain erections has changed, compared to how it was before he began receiving treatment in this study. The wording of these questions were based on the Patient Global Impression of Improvement questionnaire, which was validated for use in the assessment of improvement in stress urinary incontinence. The questions were scored on a 7-point scale.The Baseline assessment was defined as the latest assessment on or before the DB treatment start.
