Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

42 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

  • Serum testosterone levels < 33 ng/mL;
  • Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels > 22 mU/mL;
  • Absence of other significant diseases which, at the physician's discretion, could impact subject's participation in the trial, according to protocol requirements, and study evaluations: medical history, blood pressure and heart rate measurements, physical examination and complimentary laboratory tests;
  • Ability to understand the nature and objective of the trial, including risks and adverse events, which shall be confirmed by Informed Consent Form signature.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Screening laboratory tests results presenting clinically relevant deviations that, at the investigator discretion, prevent the subject to participate in the trial due to possible risks;
  • Drugs addiction, including alcohol;
  • Treatment with any drugs known to have a well-established toxic potential to major organs, within 3 months before the trial, ;
  • Participation in any other experimental research or administration of any experimental drug within six months before the initiation of this trial;

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure

Time Frame: 28 days
28 days
Pharmacokinetics, maximum concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame: 28 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
