Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
NCT00000175 ↗ The Effects of Sex Hormones on Cognition and Mood in Older Adults Terminated National Institute on Aging (NIA) N/A 1969-12-31 This study is investigating the effects of hormone replacement therapy on memory, mental abilities and mood in older adults aged 65-90. During the nine month long study, men will take testosterone for three months and women will take estrogen for three months. At four points during the study (once every three months), participants will complete a test battery and have blood drawn.
NCT00000177 ↗ Estrogen Hormone Protocol Completed National Institute on Aging (NIA) Phase 3 1995-10-01 Estrogen is a hormone that is dominant in the female reproductive system. In women, most estrogen is produced by the ovaries. Men produce estrogen by converting testosterone into estrogen. Because this hormone also has many beneficial effects on brain cells, it currently is being studied as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. The enzyme that forms the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is promoted in the presence of estrogen. Several very small clinical studies have demonstrated improvement in cognitive function and mood measures in women with Alzheimer's disease who take estrogen.
NCT00000854 ↗ A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Nandrolone Decanoate in Women With HIV-Associated Weight Loss Completed National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Phase 1 1969-12-31 The purpose of this study is to see if giving nandrolone decanoate (a hormonal drug) will cause weight gain in HIV-positive women who have HIV-associated weight loss (wasting). Wasting has become an AIDS-defining condition. In the past, most studies that examined wasting treatments were limited to men. However, it appears that wasting in HIV-positive men is linked to levels of testosterone (a hormone which affects men's bodies more than women's). This study has been designed for women only, in order to best treat wasting in HIV-positive women.
NCT00001079 ↗ A Study of Megestrol Acetate Alone or in Combination With Testosterone Enanthate Drug in the Treatment of HIV-Associated Weight Loss Completed National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Phase 2 1969-12-31 To test the hypothesis that the predominant accrual of fat rather than lean body mass (LBM) that occurs during treatment of HIV-associated wasting with megestrol acetate may be improved by treatment with megestrol acetate and testosterone enanthate in combination. Body wasting is an increasingly frequent AIDS-defining condition in individuals infected with HIV. Increasing caloric intake fails to consistently restore lean tissue patients with HIV associated weight loss. Megestrol acetate has been shown to stimulate appetite and weight gain in subjects with cancer and in those with HIV associated weight loss. However, the weight gained during treatment with megestrol acetate was predominantly or exclusively fat. An important factor is the preferential increase in body fat seen in both of these studies may have been due to hypogonadism that occurs as a result of treatment with megestrol acetate, a progestational agent. Hypogonadism is associated with an increase in body fat and a decrease in LBM. Concomitant testosterone replacement should substantially increase the amount of LBM accrued during megestrol acetate therapy. This study will determine whether anabolic potential can be realized when caloric intake is increased in the absence of concomitant hypogonadism.
NCT00001202 ↗ Treatment of Boys With Precocious Puberty Completed Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Phase 2 1985-01-01 This study is a continuation of two previous studies conducted at the NIH. The first study , "Treatment of True Precocious Puberty with a Long-Acting Lutenizing Hormone Releasing Hormone Analog (D-Trp(6)-Pro(9)-Net-LHRH)" had less than optimal results. Some patients, all of whom were diagnosed with familial isosexual precocious puberty, had an inadequate response to the medication and were observed to have high levels of testosterone, advanced bone aging, and other complications of the disease. As a result these patients were enrolled in a second study In the second study, "Spironolactone Treatment for Boys with Familial Isosexual Precocious Puberty", - the patients received another medication, spironolactone (Aldactone). The drug blocked the effects of testosterone, -but bone age advancement did not improve. Some patients began experiencing gynecomastia (an abnormal growth of the male breasts). Researchers believe these may be the effects of elevated levels of estrodiol (a form of the female hormone, estrogen). In the present study, testolactone is added to the drug regimen to block the production of estrogen. The study therefore uses spironolactone to prevent the action of the male hormones (androgen) and testolactone to block the production of female hormones (estrogen). Deslorelin, an LHRH analog which works by turning off true (central) puberty, is added to the drug regimen once true puberty begins. This is because it is know that boys with familial male precocious puberty go into true puberty too early (despite treatment with spironolactone and testolactone), and when that happens, the spironolactone and testolactone are no longer as effective. The goal of the treatment is to delay sexual development until a more appropriate age and prevent short adult stature (height).
NCT00001951 ↗ Hormone Replacement in Young Women With Premature Ovarian Failure Completed Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Phase 2 1999-12-01 The human ovary produces male sex hormones (androgen) and female sex hormones (estrogen). Currently, androgen is not included in hormone replacement therapy for women with premature ovarian failure. Present hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was designed to treat women who experience ovarian failure at menopause (around the age of 50). However, 1% of women will experience premature failure of the ovaries before the age of 40. There have been no studies conducted to determine proper hormone replacement therapies for these younger women. Some research suggests that the usual menopausal hormone replacement therapy is not adequate to protect young women with premature ovarian failure from developing osteoporosis. Women with premature ovarian failure have abnormally low levels of androgens circulating in their blood. This may contribute to the increase risk for osteoporosis. This study will compare two treatment plans for women with premature ovarian failure. Treatment plan one will be physiological estrogen hormone replacement. Treatment plan two will be physiological estrogen hormone replacement plus androgen. The study will attempt to determine which plan is more beneficial to women in relation to osteoporosis and heart disease. The hormones will be contained in patches and given by placing the patches against the patient's skin. The patches were designed to deliver the same amount of hormone as would be normally produced by the ovary in young women. The success of the treatment will be measured by periodically checking the density of patient's bone in the leg (femoral neck bone) . Researchers will take an initial (baseline) measurement of bone density before beginning treatment and then once a year, for 3 additional years, during treatment. The study will also consider bone density of the spine, bone turnover, heart disease risk factors, and psychological state.

Testosterone: Clinical Trials, Market Analysis, and Projections

Introduction to Testosterone Therapy

Testosterone therapy is a treatment used to address low testosterone levels, a condition known as hypogonadism. This therapy involves the administration of testosterone through various forms, including injectables, gels, patches, and oral medications. Here, we will delve into the latest clinical trials, market analysis, and projections for testosterone therapy.

Clinical Trials: Safety and Efficacy

TRAVERSE Trial

One of the most significant clinical trials in recent years is the TRAVERSE trial. Conducted in response to concerns raised by the FDA about the cardiovascular risks associated with testosterone therapy, this trial aimed to determine whether testosterone therapy increases the risk of myocardial infarction or stroke.

  • Methodology: The TRAVERSE trial is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study that assessed the effects of testosterone gel over a five-year period. It is the longest randomized, controlled trial on testosterone safety among hypogonadal men to date[1].
  • Findings: The trial found that testosterone therapy poses low cardiovascular risk, improves sexual health, and has no significant impact on prostate cancer risk or progression. These results suggest that normalized testosterone levels may reduce risks of mortality and adverse cardiovascular events without elevating prostate cancer concerns[1].

Other Ongoing Trials

  • JATENZO Study: A Phase 4, multi-center, open-label safety study (TOL-CLAR-20024) is currently evaluating the potential effect of JATENZO on adrenal function in hypogonadal men treated for 12 months. This study includes regular evaluations for signs and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency and adverse events[4].
