Vallancien et al[8] | 1274 | Prevalence ED-Mild (55%), severe (70%) LUTS Prevalence of ED was 55% in men with mild LUTS and increased to 70% in severe LUTS |

Ref. | Design of study | Placebo run-in | Participant/inclusion criteria | End point | Major conclusion |
Sairam et al[11] | Not RCT | No | 112 male patients All taking sildenafil Inclusion criteria was presence ED | Assess relationship between ED and LUTS; if sildenafil influences LUTS in patients with ED | No relation between ED score and LUTS before treat ED Sildenafil improves ED and LUTS |
McVary et al[14] | Open-label, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled | No | 369 patients were randomized to sildenafil 100 mg (n = 189) or placebo (n = 180) during 12 wk/Men with ED and LUTS | Change IPSS, QoL,BPHII, Qmax, SEAR, and EDITS | Sildenafil improve IIEF, IPSS, BPHII, IPSS QoL and SEAR score Qmax not altered |
McVary et al[15] | Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled | Yes | 281 men randomized to tadalafil 5 mg daily, followed by dose escalation to 20 mg/Men aged 45 yr or higher and IPSS > 12 | Change IPSS, QoL, BPHII, Qmax, and IIEF | Tadalafil improve IPSS, QoL, BPHII, and IIEF Qmax not altered |
Stief et al[16] | Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled | No | 222 men were randomized to vardenafil 10 mg twice daily or placebo/age 45-64 yr, IPSS ≥ 12, with or without ED | Change in IPSS, Qmac, PVR, and IIEF | Vardenafil improve IPSS, IIEF, and QoL Qmax and PVR not altered |
Roehrborn et al[17] | Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled | Yes | 1058 men were randomized to receive daily tadalafil 2.5, 5, 10 or 20 mg/age greater than 45 yr, IPSS ≥ 12, and Qmax between 4-15 mL/s | Change in IPSS, IIEF, QoL, BPHII, GAQ, and Qmax | Tadalafil improve IPSS and GAQ in all doses But, dose higher than 5 mg had minimal improvement with higher side effects Qmax not altered |
Porst et al[20] | Meta-analysis | 1026 men, tadalafil (n = 505) compared to placebo (n = 521). Data pooled from four multinational study/age ≥ 45 yr, presence of LUTS/BPO | Change in IPSS, QoL, BPHII, and IIEF | Tadalafil improve IPSS, QoL, BPHII, and IIEF compared with placebo | |
Gacci et al[18] | Meta-analysis | Twelve studies, been seven studies (n = 3214) comparing PDEi vs placebo, and five (n = 216) on the combination of PDEi with ∝-blockers vs∝-blockers alone/Men with LUTS/BPO | Change in IPSS, IIEF, and Qmax Identify best candidates for treatment with PDEi based on clinical features | PDEi alone improve IPSS, IIEF, but not Qmax Association of PDEi with ∝-blockers improve IPSS, IIEF, and Qmax | |
Yan et al[19] | Meta-analysis | 515 patients (seven studies)/patients with LUTS/BPO and ED | Compare combination of PDEi with ∝-blockers vs∝-blockers alone. Change IPSS, QoL, BPHII, Qmax, and IIEF | Combination of PDEi with ∝-blockers has additive favorable effects compared with PDEi monotherapy |
Ref. | Design of study | Placebo run-in | Participant /Inclusion criteria | End point | Major conclusion |
Oelke et al[44] | Randomized, multicentric, placebo controlled, and parallel-group | Yes | Men ≥ 45 yr of age with BPO/LUTS, IPSS ≥ 13, and Qmax between 4-15 mL/s 512 men were randomized to placebo (n = 172), tadalafil 5 mg (n = 171) or tamsulosin 0.4 mg (n = 168); Men ≥ 45 yr of age with BPO/LUTS, IPSS ≥ 13, and Qmax between 4-15 mL/s | Compare effect of tadalafil 5 mg once daily with placebo on BPO/LUTS | Tadalafil 5 mg and tamsulosin 0.4 mg had similar improvement in BPO/LUTS and Qmax compared with placebo However, only tadalafil caused a significant improvement in QoL, treatment satisfaction, and erectile function |
Regadas et al[45] | Randomized, double-blind, and placebo controlled | No | Men ≥ 45 yr of age, BOOI ≥ 20 and IPSS ≥ 14 A total of 40 men were randomized to tadalafil 5 mg/tamsulosin 0.4 mg (n = 20) or tamsulosin 0.4 mg /placebo (n = 20) Men ≥ 45 yr of age, BOOI ≥ 20 and IPSS ≥ 14 | Observe changes in urodynamic variables (Qmax and PdetQmax) | Combination of tamsulosin/tadalafil decrease after-load (pdetQmax) and has potential to protect detrusor smooth muscle Additionally, the combination resulted in a significant improvement in IPSS compared with tamsulosin/placebo |
Bechara et al[46] | Randomized, double-blind, and crossover study | No | History of LUTS/BPO of at least six months Thirty men were randomized to tamsulosin 0.4 mg or tamsulosin 0.4 mg/tadalafil 20 mg daily History of LUTS/BPO of at least six months | Acess efficacy and safety of combination of tamsulosin with tadalafil compared with tamsulosin alone | Combination therapy had more significative impact in IPSS and ED compared with tamsulosin alone |
Kaplan et al[39] | Randomized, double-blind study | No | Men aged 50-76 yr with untreated LUTS and ED Sixty two patients were randomized to receive alfuzosin 10 mg (n = 20), sildenafil 25 mg (n = 21), or a combination of both (n = 20) Men aged 50-76 yr with untreated LUTS and ED | Acess efficacy and safety of combination of alfuzosin with sildenafil | Only sildenafil or combination improve ED Improvement in IPSS was observed with three treatments |
Gacci et al[47] | Randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial | Yes | Men with persistent storage LUTS Sixty men were randomized to tamsulosin 0.4 mg or tamsulosin 0.4 mg/vardenafil 10 mg Men with persistent storage LUTS | Acess efficacy and safety of combination of tamsulosin with vardenafil | Combination therapy had more significative impact in IPSS and ED compared with tamsulosin alone |
