PK Study of Testosterone Nasal Gel (TBS-2) in Healthy Premenopausal Women
An Open-label, Single and Multiple Application of Intranasal Testosterone Gel (TBS-2) in Healthy Premenopausal Female Subjects at Three Dose Levels
The purpose of this study was to assess the bioavailability of total testosterone through pharmacokinetic profiles obtained following (a) single administration of three doses of TBS-2 b) multiple administration TBS-2.
In addition, assessing the bioavailability of free testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, SHBG and estradiol through pharmacokinetic profiles was also conducted.
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
This is a 2 Period study that requires overnight stays in clinic. Blood samples are required at all visits including sampling at predefined time periods during the overnight stays.
Period I
Subjects were checked-in on Day 1 Period I to start their baseline testosterone measurement (dependant on menstrual cycle, preferably within 48hr of start of the menstrual cycle). They remained institutionalized until Day 4 morning, and were checked out after the 48 hour blood draw and study close-out for those that did not continue with Period II.
Period II (Multi-Dose)
At the end of Period 1, a total of 8 subjects sampled from these 3 cohorts, who were willing and able to continue with the multiple-dose portion of the study were selected to participate in Period 2. Subjects were institutionalized starting on Day 1 of Visit 3 until Day 5 morning of Visit 3, and were checked out after the 48 hour blood draw and study close-out.
