Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase III Study to Evaluated Morning Testosterone Normalization in Men With Secondary Hypogonadism (NCT NCT01532414)

NCT ID: NCT01532414

Last Updated: 2015-05-27

Results Overview

Proportion of pooled Androxal subjects with average serum concentration (Cavg) for T in the normal range (300 - 1040 ng/dL) after 12 weeks of treatment. Cavg will be calculated as the numerical average of 24-hour serial testosterone assessments at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 hours after dosing. If the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for the Androxal treatment group at Week 12 is at least 67%, then the co-primary endpoint based on the Cavg for testosterone has been achieved. FDA specified primary endpoint did not include comparison to placebo, thus the proportion of placebo subjects with average serum concentration (Cavg) for T in the normal range (300 - 1040 ng/dL) after 12 weeks of treatment was not calculated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months

Population: ITT population.

Proportion of pooled Androxal subjects with average serum concentration (Cavg) for T in the normal range (300 - 1040 ng/dL) after 12 weeks of treatment. Cavg will be calculated as the numerical average of 24-hour serial testosterone assessments at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 hours after dosing. If the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for the Androxal treatment group at Week 12 is at least 67%, then the co-primary endpoint based on the Cavg for testosterone has been achieved. FDA specified primary endpoint did not include comparison to placebo, thus the proportion of placebo subjects with average serum concentration (Cavg) for T in the normal range (300 - 1040 ng/dL) after 12 weeks of treatment was not calculated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months

Population: ITT.

Proportion of subjects with a 50% or greater decrease in sperm concentration from baseline after 12 weeks of treatment in Androxal treated subjects to placebo. The difference between the proportions (placebo minus Androxal) and corresponding 95% confidence interval was determined and compared to the equivalence limit of -20%. If the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval was greater than -20%, then Androxal would be concluded to be non-inferior to placebo in causing a 50% reduction in sperm concentrations.
