Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adult males aged 18–50 with a diagnosis of primary (lifelong) premature ejaculation, baseline IELT around one minute, and the ability to have timed intercourse and provide informed consent.

Probably not a fit

Men with acquired, variable, or pseudo-premature ejaculation, significant cardiac or other exclusionary medical conditions, or those unable to attend the clinic in Nîmes are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled proof-of-concept trial enrolling adult men with primary (lifelong) premature ejaculation. Participants will take BP1.4979 or placebo as needed before intercourse over a 12-week treatment period and record intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT), control, and adverse events in a diary. The protocol includes four clinic visits and two phone calls across about 17 weeks for safety checks and questionnaires. The drug targets the dopamine pathway and safety and tolerability will be monitored alongside efficacy measures.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, BP1.4979 could meaningfully increase time to ejaculation and improve ejaculatory control and quality of life for men with lifelong premature ejaculation.

How similar studies have gone: Most approved treatments for premature ejaculation act on serotonin; targeting the dopamine pathway is relatively novel and has limited prior clinical evidence.
