28-Day Study of Testosterone Co-administered With Dutasteride in Hypogonadal Men

May 25, 2017 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

A Phase II, 28-Day, Randomized, Parallel-Group, Open-Label Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Twice Daily Oral Doses of Testosterone (150-400mg) Co-administered With 0.25mg Dutasteride Compared With 400mg Testosterone Alone and 0.25mg Dutasteride Alone in the Treatment of Hypogonadism

The combination of testosterone and dutasteride is intended for use in hypogonadal men. This study will evaluate the effect of 28-day repeat dosing of this combination with varying BID doses of testosterone (T), in combination with a fixed BID dose of dutasteride (D), as well as a testosterone alone arm, on T and D levels in the blood. The rationale is to look for the effects of each compound on the other, and to look for any safety problems that may result when the 2 drugs are given together.
