Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether daily dosing with tadalafil 5 mg combined with on-demand sildenafil 100 mg can improve erectile function in men with erectile dysfunction (ED) who do not respond to PDE5 inhibitor alone.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the combination of daily tadalafil and on-demand sildenafil lead to a greater improvement in erectile function (measured by the IIEF-EF domain) compared with on-demand sildenafil alone?
* Is the combination therapy safe and well tolerated in this patient population?

Researchers will compare:

* Group A: Daily tadalafil 5 mg plus on-demand sildenafil 100 mg
* Group B: Daily placebo plus on-demand sildenafil 100 mg

to determine whether the combination regimen provides superior improvement in erectile function and patient satisfaction.

Participants will:

* Undergo baseline assessment including medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests.
* Be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups.
* Take the assigned medications for 12 weeks.
* Complete follow-up evaluations at 4, 8, and 12 weeks, including:

International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-15) questionnaire Erection Hardness Score (EHS) assessment Reporting of any adverse effects

Inclusion Criteria: * Sexually active male. * History of ED for ≥6 months. * Erectile function domain of IIEF-15 score \<17. * Documented failure to respond to PDE-5I \[definition of non-responder patients are patients with ED who don't respond to maximum dose of PDE-5I on ≥4 occasions in spite of accurate timing and good sexual stimulation\]. * Stable sexual relationship ≥ 6 months. Exclusion Criteria: * Penile anatomical deformities or Peyronie's disease. * Pelvic surgery or radiation. * Active malignancy or severe systemic illness. * Previous penile surgery of any kind, such as penile prosthesis, penile lengthening, penile cancer surgery, penile plication or grafting. * Contraindication to PDE5i (High risk cardiac patients, patients on nitrates, hypotension). * Using other treatments for ED e.g., Intra-cavernoasl prostaglandin injection therapy.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Change in International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) total score — from baseline to 12 weeks after starting treatment
    The IIEF-5 is a validated 5-item questionnaire assessing erectile function, with total scores ranging from 5 to 25; higher scores indicate better erectile function.
