Erectile Dysfunction

Multiple dose escalation study (14 days) to investigate safety, tolerability, PK and PD of vardenafil and BAY60-4552

Trial purpose

Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics will be investigated in this multiple dose escalation study. In three treatments groups different dosages of BAY 60-4552 and vardenafil will be given with patients with erectile dysfunction.
