Study start date: April 1, 2010Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

In this Phase I, single-centre, open-label, randomized, four-period crossover study, each eligible subject will be randomized to receive the 4 treatments in a 4-way crossover fashion. The 4 treatments are as follows: * Treatment A: 2x100 mg Formulation II avanafil tablet, fasted * Treatment B: 2x100 mg Formulation II avanafil tablet, fed * Treatment C: 2x100 mg Formulation I avanafil tablet, fasted * Treatment D: 1x50 mg Formulation II avanafil tablet, fasted Subjects will report to the study site on the evening before each treatment and will remain at the site until the 24-hour PK sample has been drawn. A single oral dose of avanafil tablets will be administered with 240 mL of water. A washout period of at least 5 days will occur between the treatments. Subjects in treatment groups A, C and D will fast at least 10 hours prior to and for at least 4 hours following dosing. Subjects in treatment group B will eat a standardized high fat breakfast 30 prior to dosing. Standard meals will be provided uniformly to all subjects at approximately 4 and 9 hours after dosing, and an evening snack will be provided approximately 12 - 13 hours after dosing. Blood samples for the determination of plasma avanafil and its metabolite concentrations will be obtained from each subject at 0 (30 minutes pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 18 and 24 hours post-dose in each treatment period. Adverse events; laboratory evaluations; color vision testing (Treatment A only), electrocardiogram and physical examination, vital signs will be assessed at various times during the study.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details
24 patients to be enrolledTotal number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.
Prevention Study
Prevention studies aim to stop a disease from developing. They often involve people at risk and test things like vaccines, lifestyle changes, or preventive medications.

How participants are assigned to different groups/arms
In this clinical study, participants are placed into groups randomly, like flipping a coin. This ensures that the study is fair and unbiased, making the results more reliable. By assigning participants by chance, researchers can better compare treatments without external influences.

Other Ways to Assign Participants
Non-randomized allocation
: Participants are assigned based on specific factors, such as their medical condition or a doctor's decision.

None (Single-arm trial)
: If the study has only one group, all participants receive the same treatment, and no allocation is needed.

How treatments are given to participants
Participants receive different treatments one after the other, switching from one to another during the study. This helps researchers understand how individuals respond to multiple treatments.

Other Ways to Assign Treatments
Single-group assignment
: Everyone gets the same treatment.

Parallel assignment
: Participants are split into separate groups, each receiving a different treatment.

Factorial assignment
: Participants receive different combinations of treatments.

Sequential assignment
: Participants receive treatments one after another in a specific order, possibly based on individual responses.

Other assignment
: Treatment assignment does not follow a standard or predefined design.

How the effectiveness of the treatment is controlled
In a non placebo-controlled study, no participants receive an inert substance (placebo) to compare outcomes. Instead, all participants receive either the experimental treatment or an alternative treatment (often the Standard of Care). This method allows researchers to compare the effects of the experimental treatment with those of a different active intervention, rather than a placebo.

Other Options
Placebo-Controlled
: A placebo is used to compare the effects of the experimental treatment with those of an inert substance, isolating the true treatment effect.

How the interventions assigned to participants is kept confidential
Everyone involved in the study knows which treatment is being given. This is typically used when it's not possible or necessary to hide the treatment details from participants or researchers.

Other Ways to Mask Information
Single-blind
: Participants do not know which treatment they are receiving, but researchers do.

Double-blind
: Neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given.

Triple-blind
: Participants, researchers, and outcome assessors do not know which treatment is given.

Quadruple-blind
: Participants, researchers, outcome assessors, and care providers all do not know which treatment is given.
