  • currently use or have a history of any androgen treatment within 6 months prior to screening, or use dehydroepiandrosterone 25 mg per day, or St. John's Wort within 4 weeks prior to baseline. Due to the large number of herbal remedies available, all other herbal supplements will be reviewed by the Sponsor during screening;

About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multiple-dose, Randomized, Two-period Crossover Study to Assess Bioequivalence of the 300 Mcg/Day Testosterone Reduced-size Patch (14 cm2) Relative to the 300 Mcg/Day Testosterone Reference Patch (28 cm2)

This is an open-label, multiple-dose, randomized, two-period crossover bioequivalence study in approximately 110 surgically or naturally postmenopausal women on stable hormone therapy (i.e., estrogen for surgically postmenopausal women or a continuous regimen of estrogen plus progestin for naturally postmenopausal women) restricted to approved oral or transdermal regimens only, or not on concomitant hormone therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing testosterone in people with Healthy, run by Warner Chilcott at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bioequivalence of two testosterone patches based on baseline-corrected (AUCτ) and baseline-corrected maximum serum concentrations of total testosterone and free testosterone at steady-state (time frame: 12 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Apr 2013.
