Erectile Dysfunction

Investigate the responsiveness of the Erectile Quality Scale to vardenafil flexible dose vs placebo in males with Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Trial purpose

This study was conducted to evaluate in adult men with erectile dysfunction (often called impotence), the effect of vardenafil HCl on the quality of their erections. Many men experience occasional erectile problems during their lives. The causes of erectile dysfunction are varied and may be due to physiological or emotional reasons. This study is designed to study the responsiveness of the erection quality scale (EQS) to vardenafil HCl. In this study, vardenafil HCl will be compared to placebo. Placebo is a pill which looks like the real drug but it is not. It contains no active ingredients.
