The current study focuses on clinical validation of efficacy of nutraceutical product in management of male health. In healthy adult men with induced premature ejaculation, the introduction of these nutraceuticals has been associated with notable improvements in quality of life. These supplements help them for enhanced sexual satisfaction, increased control over ejaculation, and a reduction in performance anxiety. The psychological benefits are significant, as the improvement in sexual function can lead to higher self-confidence and a more positive outlook on life.
This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm clinical trial of De-Stress and Perform Capsule in the management of stress-induced premature ejaculation in healthy adult men.
More than 60 participants will be randomized into three groups: Group A: De-Stress and Perform Capsule-U001 (20 participants), Group B: De-Stress and Perform Capsule-I001 (20 participants), Group C: Placebo Capsule-002 (20 participants) in a 1:1:1 ratio. The treatment duration will be 60 days. The efficacy of the investigational products will be compared between the groups.
Concomitant diseases/medication assessment will be performed at screening.
The efficacy of the intervention will be assessed by evaluating the following: changes in Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) score; changes in Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP) score, including PEP control, PEP satisfaction, PEP distress, PEP relationship problems, and PEP Index Score; changes in sexual stamina using Intravaginal Ejaculatory Latency Time (IELT) score; changes in Libido System Score (LSS) score; changes in levels of serum testosterone, cortisol, and LDH; changes in weight and BMI; changes in COPE Questionnaire scores, including Positive Subscale and Denial Subscale; changes in % fat and % skeletal muscle using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA); and changes in handgrip strength using a hand-held dynamometer, assessed at screening, day 30, and day 60.
Additionally, changes in blood flow will be assessed by penile Doppler in erectile dysfunction (ED) participants (a subset of 15 participants, i.e., 5 participants from each group). Changes in State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) score; changes in Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire scores, including Total Mood Disturbance and Depression; changes in cardiorespiratory endurance (maximal oxygen uptake VO2 max) by steps test; and changes in Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationships (PAIR) scores (to be completed by partner) will also be evaluated at screening and day 60.
Treatment compliance and tolerability of investigational products will be assessed at day 30 and day 60. Safety of the investigational treatment in terms of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) will be assessed at baseline, day 30, and day 60. Assessments of changes in vital sign parameters will be done thought the visit. Assessments of changes in complete blood count, liver function test, and kidney function test will be done at screening and day 60.

| Perceived Stress Scale | The PSS-10 is widely used for measuring psychological distress. It contains 10 questions on a five-point scale from 0 to 4. The higher the score, the greater the feeling of stress. PSS-10 Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress. Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress. | Screening, day 30 and day 60 |
| Premature ejaculation assessed using Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP) Questionnaire | Based on Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP). Scale ranges from 'extremely' (0) to 'not at all' (4). An increase in score from baseline indicates improvement. | Screening, day 30 and day 60 |
| Sexual stamina assessed using intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) | Intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) was defined as the time from the initiation of sexual intercourse (penetration) until ejaculation occurred. Greater the time duration greater will be the sexual stamina | Screening, day 30 and day 60 |
| libido system score (LSS) | The Stamina Libido System Score (Often Abbreviated as SLS Score) is a Metric used to assess various aspects of Sexual health, stamina, and libido. Scoring system aims to Total Score Interpretation 0-2: loss of libido; 3-4: low libido; 5-7: good libido, and 8-12: high libido. | Screening, day 30 and day 60 |
| Changes in serum testosterone | The testosterone secretion will be evaluated by measuring serum testosterone levels | Screening, day 30 and day 60 |
| Changes in Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) |

| COPE Questionnaire | Problem-Focused Coping: A high score indicates coping strategies that are aimed at changing the stressful situation. High scores are indicative of psychological strength, grit, a practical approach to problem solving and is predictive of positive outcomes. Emotion-Focused Coping: A high score indicates coping strategies that are aiming to regulate emotions associated with the stressful situation. High or low scores are not uniformly associated with psychological health or ill health, but can be used to inform a wider formulation of the respondent's coping styles. Avoidant Coping: A high score indicates physical or cognitive efforts to disengage from the stressor. Low scores are typically indicative of adaptive coping. | Screening, day 30 and day 60 |
