Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Total Serum Testosterone Concentration Within Normal Range at Week 12
Week 12

Normal range for total serum testosterone was defined as 300 to 1050 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL).

Pharmacokinetics: Area Under the Concentration Curve (AUC) of Testosterone
Pre-dose [60 to 45 minutes (min), 30 to 15 min, 5 minutes prior to each dose], 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours after administration of study drug

The AUC from time 0 to 72 hours \[AUC (0-72)\] postdose, based on baseline-corrected concentrations. Baseline-corrected AUC (0-72) was calculated using the measured concentrations of total testosterone minus mean baseline testosterone concentration. Baseline testosterone concentration was the arithmetic mean of 3 predose concentrations.

Pharmacokinetics: Maximum Drug Concentration (Cmax) of Testosterone
Pre-dose [60 to 45 minutes (min), 30 to 15 min, 5 minutes prior to each dose], 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours after administration of study drug

The Cmax from time 0 to 72 hours postdose, based on baseline-corrected concentrations. Baseline-corrected Cmax was calculated using the measured concentrations of total testosterone minus mean baseline testosterone concentration. Baseline testosterone concentration was the arithmetic mean of 3 predose concentrations.

Frequently asked questions about Testosterone

What is Testosterone used for?

Testosterone is being studied for use in hypogonadism, ejaculatory dysfunction, and healthy participants. It is an investigational small molecule being developed by Eli Lilly and Company. Clinical trials have evaluated its effects on testosterone levels, sex drive, and energy in men with low testosterone.

Who makes Testosterone?

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) is developing Testosterone. The company has sponsored clinical trials evaluating the drug in men with hypogonadism and ejaculatory dysfunction, as well as in healthy participants.

What phase is Testosterone in?

Testosterone is in clinical development. While one completed trial was a Phase 2 study, another was a Phase 3 study, and a third was a Phase 1 study. The drug remains investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is Testosterone in?

Testosterone has been studied in three completed trials. NCT01419236 was a Phase 2 study in men with ejaculatory dysfunction and hypogonadism. NCT01725451 was a Phase 1 study in healthy participants. NCT01816295 was a Phase 3 study in men with hypogonadism.

Is Testosterone the same as the hormone testosterone?

Testosterone is the drug name used in clinical trials sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. The trials evaluate the effects of a testosterone solution on men with low testosterone levels, including measures of sex drive and energy.
