About this study
Official title: Efficacy and Tolerability of Nasobol®, an Intra-Nasal Testosterone Product, for Testosterone Replacement in Hypogonadal Men
This clinical trial is being performed to compare the pharmacokinetic profile of testosterone after repeated intra-nasal administration of products of different strengths in subjects with hypogonadism.
Read the detailed description
Primary Objective:
The primary objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of Nasobol in the treatment of hypogonadal men requiring testosterone replacement therapy. Efficacy was determined by establishing a pharmacokinetic profile for serum testosterone levels following Nasobol treatment, and comparing it to that of the active control, Androderm®.
Secondary Objective:
To establish a safety profile for Nasobol.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Nasobol® in people with Hypogonadism, run by Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation at 6 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 6 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Aug 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Serum Testosterone Ln-Cmax (time frame: 0.0 (trough), 0.50, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 6.0, 9.0, 10.0, 10.5, 11.0, 11.5, 12.0, 13.0, 16.0, 19.0, 22.0, and 24.0 hours.). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Aug 2018.
