About this study
Official title: A Preliminary Trial of Testosterone Replacement for Fatigue in Male Hypogonadic Patients With Advanced Cancer.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if and how testosterone replacement therapy may affect fatigue in males with advanced cancer and low testosterone levels.
Read the detailed description
Background for Study:
Testosterone is the main sex hormone for males. Cancer, cancer treatments and cancer symptoms can cause its levels in the body to drop below normal. When testosterone is taken as a drug (called "testosterone replacement therapy"), this therapy is designed to return the testosterone levels to normal. This may help to control symptoms of low testosterone levels, which may include fatigue.
In addition to fatigue, low testosterone levels may also cause depression, loss of sexual desire, loss of appetite, and/or physical changes such as effects on strength, stamina (long-lasting strength and energy), energy level, and body composition. In this study, researchers also want to learn how testosterone therapy may affect these other symptoms that may occur. To measure these effects, questionnaires and other tests will be used.
Study Drug Administration:
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in the flip of a coin) to 1 of 2 groups. One group will receive testosterone, and the other group will receive a placebo. A placebo is a substance that looks like the study drug but has no active ingredients. There is an equal chance that you will be assigned to either group.
Neither you, the study doctor, nor the study staff will know whether you are receiving testosterone or placebo until Day 72. However, if needed for your safety, the study doctor and staff will be able to find out which one you are receiving.
You will receive testosterone or placebo by injection into your buttock muscle, about every 15 days until Day 72 (+/- 3 days). This is at baseline (+/- 3 days), Day 15 (+/- 3 days), Day 29 (+/- 3 days), Day 43 (+/- 3 days), and Day 57 (+/- 3 days).
As part of the routine blood tests performed at your study visits, your testosterone levels will be measured. If your testosterone level is too high, your testosterone/placebo dose will be lowered. If your testosterone level is too low, your testosterone/placebo dose will be raised.
Baseline Visit:
On Day 1, you will have a series of tests performed.
Your strength and stamina will be measured by hand-grip strength tests, a Get-Up-and-Go test and a 6-minute walk test.
- For the hand-grip strength tests, you will grip a device with your hand as hard as you can. You will repeat both of these tests 3 times for each hand.
- For the Get-Up-and-Go test, you will be timed to see how long it takes you to get up from sitting in a chair, walk 10 feet, turn around and walk back to the chair, and sit down.
- For the 6-minute walk test, you will be timed while you walk on a 100-foot loop. You will walk 50 feet and then turn and walk back to the beginning. You will do this at a walking speed that feels comfortable and for as many times as you can in 6 minutes.
A muscle on your upper arm will be measured. This will be the arm you do not normally use for writing.
You will be weighed on a scale that measures your body composition. Body composition includes measurements of your body fat, "lean" (non-fat) body weight, and how much water is in your body.
Blood (about 1-2 tablespoons) will be drawn for research on inflammation, other proteins and hormones. These tests are designed to help researchers learn if testosterone affects inflammation and/or fatigue, and if increased levels of certain hormones may help increase muscle and appetite.
You will be given a device called an Actiwatch, which is worn like a wristwatch. It will measure your physical activity. The research staff will show you how to use it. You should wear it through Day 29 of the study. You will return it at your Day 15 and Day 29 study visit.
Other Study Visits:
On Days 15, 29, 43, 57 and 72 (all +/- 3 days), the following tests and procedures will be performed:
- Blood (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn for routine tests.
- You will complete questionnaires.
- Your strength and stamina, arm muscle, and body composition will be measured.
- A medical history and physical exam will be performed on Day 29 (+/-3 days) and Day 72 (+/3 days)
If your questionnaire responses show that you may be having emotional difficulties or depression, you will be provided with names of mental health providers in case you would like to receive mental health screening.
Length of Study:
You may remain on study until Day 72. You will be taken off study early if intolerable side effects occur, the cancer gets worse, or the fatigue gets worse.
Optional Open-Label Testosterone Dosing:
At your Day 72 visit, you will find out if you were receiving testosterone or placebo. Those participants who were receiving testosterone will be given the option to keep receiving testosterone (off-study). Those participants who were receiving the placebo will also be given the option to receive testosterone (off-study). This is called "Open-Label Testosterone Dosing."
If you choose to receive testosterone off-study after Day 72, you will receive testosterone by injection into your buttock muscle.
This is an investigational study. Testosterone replacement therapy is commercially available and FDA approved for use in men with HIV, for treating low testosterone levels and fatigue. (HIV is a virus that affects the immune system.) At this time, it is investigational to use testosterone replacement therapy to treat low testosterone levels and fatigue in patients with cancer.
Up to 126 patients will take part in this multicenter study. Up to 80 patients will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Fatigue Subscale (FACIT-F) at Day 29 (+/- 3 Days)
The primary endpoint was to evaluate the effect of testosterone replacement therapy on fatigue in hypogonadic male patients with advanced cancer, measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Fatigue subscale (FACIT-F) at day 29 (+/- 3 days). FACIT-F consists of 27 general quality-of-life questions divided into 4 domains (physical, social, emotional, and functional), plus a 13-item fatigue subscore. The participant rates the intensity of fatigue and its related symptoms on a scale of 0-4. The FACIT-F total score ranged between 0 and 108, with higher scores denoting improved function. The FACIT-F Fatigue Subscale ranges from 0 to 52, with higher scores represent better (less) fatigue than a lower score. A positive difference score (29 days minus baseline) represents improvement. A greater positive difference score represents greater improvement.
Measured: Day 29 (+/- 3 days)
Secondary outcomes (1)
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Symptoms Scored by the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS).
The ESAS assessed 10 symptoms experienced by cancer patients during the previous 24 hours: pain, fatigue, nausea, depression, anxiety, drowsiness, dyspnea, anorexia, sleep disturbance, and feelings of well-being. The severity of each symptom is rated on a numerical scale of 0-10 (0 = no symptom, 10 = worst possible severity). Depression was assessed using the 14-item HADS questionnaire. Each item on the questionnaire was scored from 0-3. Total Scores for the HADS Questionnaire range from 0 to 42 with higher scores denoting feeling of depression.
Measured: Day 29 (+/- 3 days)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Testosterone in people with Advanced Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 2 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 16 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 13 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 13 Sep 2016). 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?
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Fatigue Subscale (FACIT-F) at Day 29 (+/- 3 Days) (time frame: Day 29 (+/- 3 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 13 Sep 2016.
