About this study
Official title: A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy/Safety of Transdermal Testosterone for 24 Weeks in Naturally Menopausal Women With Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder on Oral Hormone Replacement Therapy.
This study is designed to evaluate efficacy and safety of a testosterone patch as treatment for low libido in naturally menopausal women who are taking estrogen or estrogen/progestin therapy.
Read the detailed description
Naturally menopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) were randomized into a 24-week, multicenter, multinational, double-blind (DB), parallel-group, placebo-controlled study. Patients were randomized to receive a placebo or testosterone transdermal system throughout the study. Safety was assessed by adverse events, lipids, serum chemistry with hepatic, renal and carbohydrate metabolism evaluation, and hematology. Physical exam including clinical assessments of facial hair and acne were monitored.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Testosterone Transdermal SystemDrug
testosterone (300 mcg/day) patch replaced twice a week for two years
Placebo patchDrug
placebo patch replaced twice a week for two years
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Placebo comparator | placebo patch replaced twice a week for two years Receives: Drug: Placebo patch |
| 2 | Experimental | testosterone patch replaced twice a week for two years Receives: Drug: Testosterone Transdermal System |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To assess the efficacy of the transdermal system (TTS) as measured by the change from baseline in the frequency of total satisfying sexual activity captured by the Sexual Activity Log (SAL).
Measured: 2 years
Secondary outcomes (1)
To assess the efficacy measured by the change from baseline in sexual desire using personal distress as measured by the Personal Distress Scale (PDS) score; the other 6 domains of the Profile of Female Sexual function, and the other 8 SAL endpoints.
Measured: 2 years

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
To assess the efficacy of the transdermal system (TTS) as measured by the change from baseline in the frequency of total satisfying sexual activity captured by the Sexual Activity Log (SAL). (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Apr 2013.
