Study type
Interventional

All participant will be given either Tadalafil or placebo and then have a one week washout and crossover to receive other treatment. This is a phase 2A study. Dose will be 10mg Tadalafil (oral capsule) for 6 weeks.

Arm 1 will receive Tadalafil 10mg daily for 6 weeks - then a 1 week washout then 6 weeks placebo

Arm 2 will recieve placebo for 6 weeks, then a one week washout and then Tadalafil for six weeks

Participants will be asked to complete a diary daily including symptoms and indicate they have taken medication. All medications unused should be returned to clinic so accountability can be conducted

Statistical methods / analysis
The magnitude of this placebo effect varies from study to study however there have been multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses assessing outcomes from active and placebo arms (16-18). We have chosen to use this less heterogenous pooled data as the level for treatment and placebo effects. Based on this, a mean 25% improvement in incontinence episodes, daytime frequency and nocturia or 5 point improvement in I-QoL, will be regarded as a minimal clinical improvement. To support preliminary evidence of efficacy for tadalafil, we require 8 / 21 patients to demonstrate this level of improvement. To accommodate possible withdrawals from the study, 25 subjects will be enrolled (19-21).
