- Change From Baseline in Geometric Mean Intravaginal Ejaculatory Latency Time (IELT) [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12 ]IELT, the time from vaginal penetration to ejaculation, was measured by a stopwatch and was recorded in the sexual intercourse diary (SID). The Logarithm Value of the Geometric Mean of each individual participant's IELT recorded in the SID up to each time point was calculated. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of log-transformed geometric mean IELTs are then calculated for each treatment group. An Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) Model with treatment as the fixed effect and baseline geometric mean IELT as the covariate was used for analyses. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.
- Change From Baseline in Average IELT [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 ]IELT, the time from vaginal penetration to ejaculation, was measured by a stopwatch and was recorded in the SID. The average of each individual participant's IELT recorded in the SID up to each time point was calculated. The mean and SD of average IELTs were then calculated for each treatment group. An ANCOVA Model with treatment as the fixed effect and baseline average mean IELT as the covariate was used for analyses. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.
