简要总结

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, two-center trial to evaluate the gonadotropin suppressive activity of transdermal treatment with a combined NES/T gel, or T gel alone, for 28 days.

详细描述

A total of 45 subjects will be enrolled and randomized in a 2:1 ratio to one of two treatment groups. A description of each group is as follows:

  • Group 1 (30 subjects): 5.0 mL of the 1.62% combined gel (containing 8.3 mg NES + 62.5 mg T) applied each day on the arms and shoulders
  • Group 2 (15 subjects): 4.4 mL of the 1.62% AndrogelTM (containing 62.7 mg T) applied each day to the arms and shoulders

The total duration of treatment will be 28 days followed by a 72 hour sampling period to assess half-life and a recovery period of at least 28 days, at which point the subjects will return to the clinic for an end of study visit.

结局指标

主要结局

Gonadotropin Suppression

时间窗: 4 weeks

To quantify the gonadotropin suppressive activity of 4 weeks daily therapy of a combination transdermal gel containing 8.3 mg Nestorone® (NES) gel and 62.5 mg (1.62%) testosterone (T) gel, and of T gel (1.62%) alone. Specifically, the proportion (and 95% CI) of men who suppress both gonadotropins (luteinizing hormone \[LH\] and follicle-stimulating hormone \[FSH\]) to ≤ 1 IU/L in each group, will be quantified.
