Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective is to determine whether a topically applied formulation of Testosterone (Testagen™ TDS®-Testosterone) administered by pump dispenser spray to adult male subjects can be transferred by skin-to-skin contact to female companions during vigorous skin to skin contact and thereby theoretically but temporarily raising serum androgen levels in those women.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective is to evaluate the tolerability and local and systemic effects of Testagen™ TDS®-Testosterone.;Primary end point(s): The primary objective is to determine whether a topically applied formulation of Testosterone (Testagen™ TDS®-Testosterone) administered by pump dispenser spray to adult male subjects can be transferred by skin-to-skin contact to female companions during vigorous skin to skin contact and thereby theoretically but temporarily raising serum androgen levels in those women.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Pharmacokinetic parameters will be summarised by number of observations (N), mean, standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variance (CV), median, maximum and minimum values. In addition, geometric means (GM) and geometric CVs will be calculated for AUC0-24 and Cmax. Summary statistics for Tmax, Lambda_Z and T½ will include N, mean, SD, median, minimum and maximum values. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): The aim of testosterone replacement therapy is to produce serum levels that mimic the normal testosterone production and metabolism. The primary therapeutic purpose of Testagen™ TDS®-Testosterone is the restoration of serum testosterone levels to within the age-adjusted normal range for the Subject utilizing a safe transdermal delivery vehicle.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Full study duration. | — |
