Number of Participants With a Change in Sexual Function Defined as a Negative Change From Baseline in the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) Erectile Function Domain (IIEF-EF) Score of >=4 Units in the Double-blind Treatment Period
The IIEF is a validated 15-item questionnaire with individual items of the questionnaire assigned to five separate domains of sexual function (i.e., erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction). The IIEF was employed to assess treatment-related changes in men with erectile dysfunction. The erectile function domain of the IIEF (IIEF-EF) includes Questions 1 through 5 and Question 15 (maximum score of 30). A clinically meaningful gradient of severity of erectile dysfunction (ED) has been developed, indicating that a score of greater than 25 represents an individual without ED while men scoring <=25 may be classified as having ED. The values are presented for Week 4, Week 12 and Week 24. The Baseline assessment was defined as the latest assessment on or before the DB treatment start. Change from Baseline is post-Baseline value minus Baseline value.

Change From Baseline in Participants Perception of Sexual Function Measured by Responses to the Global Assessment Questions in the Double-blind Treatment Period
The global assessment questions consist of 2 questions, recording how much the participant perceives his sexual life has changed and how he perceives his ability to achieve and maintain erections has changed, compared to how it was before he began receiving treatment in this study. The wording of these questions were based on the Patient Global Impression of Improvement questionnaire, which was validated for use in the assessment of improvement in stress urinary incontinence. The questions were scored on a 7-point scale.The Baseline assessment was defined as the latest assessment on or before the DB treatment start.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Treatment of male pattern hair loss (MPHL) or androgenetic alopecia (AGA) with 5α-reductase inhibitor (5-ARIs) has been associated with sexual dysfunction including erectile dysfunction and loss of libido. This will be a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to assess the impact of dutasteride treatment on sexual function as well as subject satisfaction with hair growth and quality of life in men with AGA. This study will consist of a Screening Visit, a 4-week Placebo Run-in Phase, a Treatment Phase of 48 weeks, and a subsequent Follow-up Visit after 4 weeks. The treatment phase will include 24 weeks of double-blind, placebo controlled treatment and 24 weeks of open-label treatment with dutasteride. An extended 6-month Follow-up Visit will be conducted for any individuals with a change in erectile function at the end of treatment.

Title
Number of Participants With a Change in Sexual Function Defined as a Negative Change From Baseline in the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) Erectile Function Domain (IIEF-EF) Score of >=4 Units in the Double-blind Treatment Period
Description
The IIEF is a validated 15-item questionnaire with individual items of the questionnaire assigned to five separate domains of sexual function (i.e., erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction). The IIEF was employed to assess treatment-related changes in men with erectile dysfunction. The erectile function domain of the IIEF (IIEF-EF) includes Questions 1 through 5 and Question 15 (maximum score of 30). A clinically meaningful gradient of severity of erectile dysfunction (ED) has been developed, indicating that a score of greater than 25 represents an individual without ED while men scoring <=25 may be classified as having ED. The values are presented for Week 4, Week 12 and Week 24. The Baseline assessment was defined as the latest assessment on or before the DB treatment start. Change from Baseline is post-Baseline value minus Baseline value.

Use of glucocorticoids (inhaled glucocorticoids are allowed; topical corticosteroids are allowed provided that they are not used on the scalp) within 3 months prior to screening. Use of the following prior to Baseline (within 1 week for topical products; within 1 week or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, for systemic treatments): Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil); Minoxidil (oral or topical); Carpronium chloride; Systemic drugs with anti-androgenic properties (e.g., cyproterone acetate, spironolactone, ketoconazole, flutamide, and bicalutamide); Topical or systemic estrogen or progesterone; Drugs potentially causing hypertrichosis (e.g., cyclosporine, diazoxide, phenytoin, psoralens); Drugs potentially causing hypertrichosis or telogen effluvium (e.g., valproic acid); Anabolic steroids; Participation in any study of an investigational or marketed drug (within 5 half lives of drug) or device that may affect hair growth or sexual function prior to screening for this study.
