Participant Flow

Participants were recruited based on physician referrals at 2 VA medical centers and via community-based advertisements between January 2017 and March 2021 and pre-screened via phone to determine criteria to enroll. Those meeting criteria to enroll were screened for potential eligibility, with the first participant enrolled on April 27, 2017 and the last participant enrolled on December 4, 2020.

Enrolled participants were evaluated at an in-person screening visit to determine if they qualify. Those that did not qualify were excluded from the study before randomization. Of 33 enrolled participants, 12 met inclusion criteria and were randomized to treatment / placebo groups.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months

Population: Only 5 participants in the testosterone enanthate group were evaluated because 1 of 6 with baseline values had withdrawn prior to 6 months. At 12 months: 2 participants in the placebo group and 2 additional participants in the testosterone enanthate group had withdrawn from the study and data from 1 participant in the testosterone enanthate group could not be analyzed due to imaging artefact.
