Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This clinical trial is focused on comparing two different forms of the medication sildenafil, known for its use in treating erectile dysfunction. The study involves 56 healthy adult male participants and aims to determine if a new liquid form of sildenafil, called ASP-001, is equivalent to the existing tablet form, Viagra, in terms of how the body absorbs it. Additionally, the trial seeks to find out if ASP-001 is absorbed faster than Viagra. Understanding these differences is important because it could potentially offer another option for individuals who might benefit from a faster-acting or easier-to-consume form of the medication. During the study, participants will take both forms of sildenafil in two different sequences, with some starting with the liquid form and others with the tablet form. This approach helps to compare the two directly under the same conditions. Each participant will experience a break of 6 days between taking the two different forms of the medication to clear their system before switching to the other. The study also looks at how the participants tolerate the new liquid form, including any side effects like mouth irritation, dizziness, or headaches. This information will help assess whether the new formulation is not only effective but also safe and comfortable for use.

All volunteers will be advised not to donate blood for 30 days after completing the study. * Reports donating plasma (e.g., plasmapheresis) within 14 days prior to first dose. All volunteers will be advised not to donate plasma for 30 days after completing the study. * Demonstrates, in the opinion of study staff, inadequate veins or veins unsuitable for repeated venipuncture (e.g., veins difficult to locate, access, or puncture; veins with a tendency to rupture during or after puncture). * Reports difficulty fasting or consuming standardized meals. * Subjects who have difficulty swallowing. * Regular use of tobacco (\>4 cigarettes per day) or nicotine-containing products within four weeks before screening, or urinary cotinine level indicative of active smoking at screening and/or Day -1 * Major surgery within three months or minor surgery within one month before screening as per the Principal Investigator (PI) judgment.
