Effects of tadalafil treatment on erectile function recovery following bilateral nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy: a randomised placebo-controlled study (REACTT)

Background: The potential rehabilitative and protective effect of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is) on penile function after nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy (NSRP) remains unclear.

Objective: The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of tadalafil 5mg once daily and tadalafil 20mg on demand versus placebo taken over 9 mo in improving unassisted erectile function (EF) following NSRP, as measured by the proportion of patients achieving an International Index of Erectile Function-Erectile Function domain (IIEF-EF) score ≥ 22 after 6-wk drug-free washout (DFW). Secondary measures included IIEF-EF, Sexual Encounter Profile question 3 (SEP-3), and penile length.

Design, setting, and participants: Randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled trial in men ≤ 68 yr of age with adenocarcinoma of the prostate (Gleason ≤ 7) and normal preoperative EF who underwent NSRP at 50 centres from nine European countries and Canada.

Interventions: 1:1:1 randomisation to 9 mo of treatment with tadalafil 5mg once daily, tadalafil 20mg on demand, or placebo followed by a 6-wk DFW and 3-mo open-label tadalafil once daily (all patients).

Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: Logistic regression, mixed-effects model for repeated measures, and analysis of covariance, adjusting for treatment, age, and country, were applied to IIEF-EF scores ≥ 22, SEP-3, and penile length.

Results and limitations: Four hundred twenty-three patients were randomised to tadalafil once daily (n=139), on demand (n=143), and placebo (n=141). The mean age was 57.9 yr of age (standard deviation: 5.58 yr); 20.9%, 16.9%, and 19.1% of patients in the tadalafil once daily, on demand, and placebo groups, respectively, achieved IIEF EF scores ≥ 22 after DFW; odds ratios for tadalafil once daily and on demand versus placebo were 1.1 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.6-2.1; p=0.675) and 0.9 (95% CI, 0.5-1.7; p=0.704). At the end of double-blind treatment (EDT), least squares (LS) mean IIEF-EF score improvement significantly exceeded the minimally clinically important difference (MCID: ΔIIEF-EF ≥ 4) in both tadalafil groups; for SEP-3 (MCID ≥ 23%), this was the case for tadalafil once daily only. Treatment effects versus placebo were significant for tadalafil once daily only (IIEF-EF: p=0.016; SEP-3: p=0.019). In all groups, IIEF-EF and SEP-3 decreased during DFW but continued to improve during open-label treatment. At month 9 (EDT), penile length loss was significantly reduced versus placebo in the tadalafil once daily group only (LS mean difference 4.1mm; 95% CI, 0.4-7.8; p=0.032).

Conclusions: Tadalafil once daily was most effective on drug-assisted EF in men with erectile dysfunction following NSRP, and data suggest a potential role for tadalafil once daily provided early after surgery in contributing to the recovery of EF after prostatectomy and possibly protecting from penile structural changes. Unassisted EF was not improved after cessation of active therapy for 9 mo.

Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01026818.

Keywords: Clinical trials; Erectile dysfunction; Nerve-sparing prostatectomy; Penile function; Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors; Prostate cancer; Radical prostatectomy; Rehabilitation; Tadalafil once a day.

Efficacy and safety of tadalafil for erectile dysfunction in patients with multiple sclerosis

Introduction: Data are sparse concerning the effects of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors for erectile dysfunction (ED) in subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tadalafil use in subjects with ED because of MS.

Methods: Ninety-six MS patients with ED after a 4-week treatment-free period were given tadalafil 10 mg. All patients were re-evaluated after 4 weeks. Those with a score lower than 26 on the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-15) and with less than 75% of total successful sexual attempts assessed by the Sexual Encounter Profile Questions 2 and 3 (SEP2-3) had their dosage of tadalafil increased to 20 mg, whereas responding subjects continued with 10 mg. Subsequently, all patients had a final follow-up visit after 8 weeks.

Main outcome measures: SEP2-3, IIEF-15 questionnaire. The Life Satisfaction Checklist (LSC) questionnaire composed of eight questions was used prior to starting tadalafil and at the end of the 12-week treatment.

Results: Ninety-two subjects completed the study. Seventy-two responded, 30 of whom used 10 mg. Two subjects discontinued the therapy because of moderate side effects: one suffered from headache and one from tachycardia. Responding patients reached a significant statistical improvement in all follow-ups compared with baseline on the erectile domain and overall sexual satisfaction scores of the IIEF-15 using the Wilcoxon test P < 0.01. Furthermore, they showed statistical improvement through the Wilcoxon test P < 0.01 on the sexual life, family life, and partner relationship questions of the LSC compared with baseline.

Conclusion: Tadalafil is an effective and safe treatment for males with MS suffering from ED. Further studies are needed on MS patients to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term use, and to detect predictable parameters for the success of PDE5 inhibitors.
