Alcohol and ED meds: new study checks how sildenafil suspension performs after a drink
NCT ID NCT07302698
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial will give 24 healthy adults a single dose of Hezkue oral sildenafil suspension after they drink a moderate amount of alcohol. Researchers will measure how the drug moves through the body and how quickly it starts working. The goal is to understand any effects alcohol may have on the medication's performance and safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- sildenafil suspension (Hezkue)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help understand how sildenafil works when taken with alcohol, potentially guiding future dosing recommendations.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study in healthy volunteers, not patients. Results may not apply to real-world use or show any benefit.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female adults 21 to 55 years of age, inclusive. Body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 30.0 kg/m², inclusive. Medically healthy based on medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory evaluations, in the opinion of the investigator. Able to safely consume moderate amounts of alcohol as judged by the investigator (for example, no history of alcohol intolerance, alcohol use disorder, or alcohol-related medical complications). Blood pressure and heart rate within normal or non-clinically significant ranges at screening and baseline, in the opinion of the investigator. Non-smoker or light smoker (10 cigarettes per day or fewer, or equivalent) willing to abstain during study confinement periods. Able to understand and provide written informed consent before any study-specific procedures are performed. Willing and able to comply with all study requirements, including alcohol restrictions, fasting, dosing schedules, and pharmacokinetic and onset assessments. Females of childbearing potential must use acceptable contraception as determined by the investigator. Exclusion Criteria: * History or presence of any clinically significant cardiovascular disease, including but not limited to coronary artery disease, heart failure, clinically important arrhythmias, or uncontrolled hypertension or hypotension. Resting systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure, or heart rate, outside protocol-defined acceptable ranges at screening or baseline, in the opinion of the investigator. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to sildenafil, other phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, alcohol, or any component of the study formulations. Current or recent use of nitrates, nitric oxide donors, or guanylate cyclase stimulators (for example, riociguat). History of significant hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, neurologic, psychiatric, endocrine, hematologic, or respiratory disease that, in the investigator's opinion, could interfere with study participation or data interpretation. History of syncope, significant orthostatic hypotension, or other conditions that may be worsened by sildenafil or alcohol. History of alcohol use disorder, binge drinking patterns, or other substance use disorder, as determined by the investigator. Positive urine drug screen or positive alcohol test at screening (outside scheduled alcohol administration for the study) or at admission. Use of prescription or over-the-counter medications, herbal products, or dietary supplements within 14 days before the first study dose, unless considered acceptable by the investigator. Positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, or HIV. Participation in another clinical study or receipt of an investigational drug or device within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before the first study dose. Donation of 450 mL or more of blood, or significant blood loss, within 8 weeks before the first study dose. Pregnant or breastfeeding females. Women of childbearing potential not using acceptable contraception. Any condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the participant unsuitable for the study or could interfere with compliance or study assessments.
