What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pharmacokinetics of Total Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, Free Testosterone: Time of Maximal Concentration (Tmax)

    Tmax is the time at which the maximum concentration (Cmax) was attained during the 24 hour period on Day 7.

    Measured: Day 7 (0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours) of each of the four 7 day cycles of treatment

  2. Pharmacokinetics of Total Testosterone: Maximal Concentration (Cmax), Minimum Concentration (Cmin), and Average Concentration (Cavg)

    Cmax is the maximum observed serum concentration of total testosterone during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Cmin is the minimum observed serum concentration during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Cavg(0-24) is the average serum concentration calculated during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Calculated as the AUC(0-24) divided by 24 hours.

    Measured: Day 7 (0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours) of each of the four 7 day cycles of treatment

  3. Pharmacokinetics of Dihydrotestosterone: Maximal Concentration (Cmax), Minimum Concentration (Cmin), and Average Concentration (Cavg)

    Cmax is the maximum observed serum concentration of dihydrotestosterone during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Cmin is the minimum observed serum concentration during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Cavg(0-24) is the average serum concentration calculated during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Calculated as the AUC(0-24) divided by 24 hours.

    Measured: Day 7 (0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours) of each of the four 7 day cycles of treatment

  4. Pharmacokinetics of Free Testosterone: Maximal Concentration (Cmax), Minimum Concentration (Cmin), and Average Concentration (Cavg)

    Cmax is the maximum observed serum concentration of free testosterone during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Cmin is the minimum observed serum concentration during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Cavg(0-24) is the average serum concentration calculated during the 24 hour period on Day 7. Calculated as the AUC(0-24) divided by 24 hours.

    Measured: Day 7 (0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours) of each of the four 7 day cycles of treatment

  5. Pharmacokinetics of Total Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, Free Testosterone: Degree of Fluctuation (DF)

    Degree of fluctuation in serum concentration calculated as ((Cmax-Cmin)/Cavg) x 100%.

    Measured: Day 7 (0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours) of each of the four 7 day cycles of treatment

  6. Pharmacokinetics of Total Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, Free Testosterone: Area Under the Time Concentration Curve [AUC(0-24h)]

    Area under the serum concentration versus time curve was calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule from time 0 to 24 hours on Day 7.

    Measured: Day 7 (0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours) of each of the four 7 day cycles of treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    A listing of adverse events is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: Baseline through 7 days of each cycle of four treatments and follow-up (up to 38 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Testosterone MD-Lotion in people with Hypogonadism, run by Eli Lilly and Company 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 7 inclusion and 22 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 7 Jan 2011. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Jan 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Pharmacokinetics of Total Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, Free Testosterone: Time of Maximal Concentration (Tmax) (time frame: Day 7 (0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours) of each of the four 7 day cycles of treatment). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Jan 2011.
