Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of the Effect of Testosterone Replacement Therapy on Blood Pressure in Adult Male Participants With Hypogonadism (NCT NCT04456296)

NCT ID: NCT04456296

Last Updated: 2025-03-14

Results Overview

The mean change from Baseline to EOS in 24-hour average systolic ambulatory blood pressure, for each treatment group was analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment and study center (pooled centers) as fixed effects, Baseline 24-hour average systolic ambulatory blood pressure as covariate. EOS for the Aveed arm was Day 107 and EOS for Fortesta and Testim, was Day 114.
