Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of testosterone undecanoate, metformin, or the combination of both, for the treatment of isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and erectile dysfunction in obese males. The main outcome is: - Changes in IIEF (International Index of Erectile Disfunction) score after 52 weeks of treatment.;Secondary Objective: Secondary outcomes are: -Changes in AMS (Aging Males Symptoms) score after 52 weeks of treatment. - Cahnges in ADAM (Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male) after 52 weeks of treatment. - Changes in the concentrations of total testosterone and free testosterone after 52 weeks of treatment. - Changes in BMI after 52 weeks of treatment. - Changes in concentrations of fat mass and lean mass (measured by multifrequency bioelectrical impedance electrical) after 52 weeks of treatment. - Changes in the levels of insulin and HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance) after 52 weeks of treatment.;Primary end point(s): - Changes in the IIEF (International Index of Erectile Function) score after 52 weeks of treatment.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 52 weeks | — |
