- Have prostate volume ≥20 mL estimated by transabdominal or transrectal ultrasound at study entry.
- Agree not to use any other approved or experimental pharmacologic BPH, erectile dysfunction (ED) and/or overactive bladder (OAB) treatments, including alpha-blockers, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs), phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, or herbal preparations at any time during the study.
- Have not taken the following treatments within the indicated duration:
- Finasteride therapy for at least 3 months prior to beginning of placebo lead-in period.
- Dutasteride therapy for at least 6 months prior to beginning of placebo lead-in period.
- Anti-androgenic hormone therapy at least 12 months prior to beginning of placebo lead-in period.

- OAB therapy for at least 4 weeks prior to beginning of placebo lead-in period.
- Demonstrate compliance with study drug administration requirements during the placebo lead-in period by administering ≥70% of prescribed doses, confirmed by documentation that the participant returned ≤30% of prescribed doses at randomization.
Exclusion
- Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) \>10.0 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) at study entry.
- PSA ≥4.0 to ≤10.0 ng/mL at study entry, if prostate malignancy has not been ruled out to the satisfaction of an urologist.
- Bladder postvoid residual (PVR) ≥300 mL by ultrasound determination at study entry.
- History of any of the following pelvic conditions (checked at study entry):
- Pelvic surgery or any other pelvic procedure, including radical prostatectomy, pelvic surgery for removal of malignancy, or bowel resection.
- Pelvic radiotherapy.
- Any pelvic surgical procedure on the urinary tract, including minimally invasive BPH-LUTS therapies and penile implant surgery.
- Lower urinary tract malignancy or trauma.
- Lower urinary tract instrumentation (including prostate biopsy) within 30 day of study entry.
- History of urinary retention or lower urinary tract (bladder) stones within 6 months of study entry.

- Interstitial cystitis.
- Clinical evidence of any of the following urinary tract conditions at study entry:
- Urinary tract infection.
- Urinary tract inflammation (including prostatitis). Urinary tract infection/inflammation is defined as a positive result for leukocyte esterase from a urine dipstick or \>5 white blood cells (WBCs) per high-powered field on urinalysis from a centrifuged, clean-catch, midstream urine specimen.
- Current antibiotic therapy for urinary tract infection.
- Clinically significant microscopic hematuria as determined by an urologist.
- History of significant renal insufficiency, defined as receiving renal dialysis or having an estimated creatinine clearance \<30 milliliters per minute (mL/min) at study entry, as calculated by the central laboratory using the Cockcroft-Gault formula.
- Clinical evidence of severe hepatic impairment \[aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT) \>3-fold of the upper limit of normal range\] at study entry.
- History of any of the following cardiac conditions (checked at study entry):
- Angina requiring treatment with long-acting nitrates.
- Angina requiring treatment with short-acting nitrates within 90 days of study entry.
- Unstable angina within 90 days of study entry.
- Positive cardiac stress test without documented evidence of subsequent, effective cardiac intervention.
- History of any of the following coronary conditions within 90 days of study entry:
- Myocardial infarction.
- Coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
- Percutaneous coronary intervention (for example, angioplasty or stent placement).

- Current treatment with nitrates, androgens, antiandrogens, estrogens, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists/antagonists, or anabolic steroids at study entry.
- Current systemic treatment with any of the following:
- Potent cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors, such as ketoconazole or ritonavir.
- CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampicin.
- Known or suspected to be hypersensitive to tadalafil, or any study drug components.
- Any conditions that would interfere with a participant's ability to provide informed consent or comply with study instructions, would place participant at increased risk, or might confound the interpretation of the study results.
