Abstract
Udenafil is an oral PDE5 inhibitor that is currently available in South Korea for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Phase II clinical data presented at the 11th World Congress of the International Society for the Sexual and Impotence Research showed that in men with mild-to-severe ED, the drug produced a significant improvement in erectile function after 12 weeks of treatment. Udenafil has been reported as being well tolerated, although in August 2005, the Korean Food & Drug Administration had demanded further details regarding the presence of carcinogenic substances in the drug. A phase IIa clinical trial for ED is currently underway in the US, and phase III trials are planned for 2006.Entities:
