Trial Outcomes & Findings for Testosterone Treatment for Hypogonadal Men (NCT NCT00433199)

NCT ID: NCT00433199

Last Updated: 2015-01-27

Results Overview

Cav results were required to fall within the normal range of 300-1000 ng/dL. Success in the study was defined as \>=75% of subjects on active treatment within the normal serum testosterone concentration range of 300-1000 ng/dL. In addition, the lower bound of the 95% CI was to be not less than 65% based on the Day 112 Parmacokinetics (PK) results

Participant Flow

Subjects were recruited in 63 centers in US from February 2007 to April 2007 in clinics. The study was designed with a double-blind period of 182 days on Placebo or Androgel 1.62% followed by an 182 days open-label period on Androgel 1.62%.

All subjects started at a daily dose of 2.50 g testosterone gel 1.62% or matching placebo on Day 1. Within 2 days of each of visits (D14, D28 and D42), the dose was titrated up or down in 1.25 g steps if necessary, based on pre-specified normal range criteria, by an unblinded reviewer. The minimum and maximum daily doses were 1.25 g and 5.0 g.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 112

Population: The analysis was done on the Full analysis sample defined as the subjects who were included in the Safety Sample and who had data for at least one post-Baseline assessment of any efficacy measurement up to and including Day 182 (double-blind period). The number correspond to the number of subjects having a measurement at Day 112;

Cav results were required to fall within the normal range of 300-1000 ng/dL. Success in the study was defined as \>=75% of subjects on active treatment within the normal serum testosterone concentration range of 300-1000 ng/dL. In addition, the lower bound of the 95% CI was to be not less than 65% based on the Day 112 Parmacokinetics (PK) results
