Brief Summary:
This is a safety and efficacy study of OnabotulinumtoxinA for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) in male participants.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Premature Ejaculation Drug: OnabotulinumtoxinA Drug: Normal Saline Phase 2

Detailed Description:
This is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study to assess a range of doses of OnabotulinumtoxinA for the treatment of male participants with PE. Participants will attend a minimum of 6 or 7 clinic visits and also have 1 or 2 telephone visits. Partners will need to attend a clinic visit during the screening period to provide informed consent and to receive training on measurement and recording of the intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT). Participants will be enrolled in cohorts. Within the first 5 cohorts, 8 participants are to receive OnabotulinumtoxinA and 2 participants to receive placebo. For cohort 6, 12 participants will receive OnabotulinumtoxinA and 12 participants will receive placebo. Participants will receive a single treatment of study medication delivered bilaterally to the bulbospongiosus muscle. The initial OnabotulinumtoxinA total dose in this dose escalation study will be 5 U and the maximum OnabotulinumtoxinA total dose will be 100 U. Upon request and if eligible, participants in cohort 6, will have the option to receive a second injection of OnabotulinumtoxinA (Open-label).

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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.

  2. Change From Baseline in Geometric Mean IELT [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 ]
    IELT, the time from vaginal penetration to ejaculation, was measured by a stopwatch and was recorded in the 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 SD of log-transformed geometric mean IELTs were then calculated for each treatment group. An 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.
