About this study

Official title: Single Dose, Dose-Ranging Safety and Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics Study of 11-β Methyl Nortestosterone Dodecylcarbonate (11β-MNTDC) in Healthy Men

The long term objective is to develop a new male hormone 11-β Methyl Nortestosterone Dodecylcarbonate (11β-MNTDC) as a male hormonal contraceptive.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I multicenter, double-blind, single dose, dose-ranging study, in healthy men followed on an inpatient basis to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of 11β-methyl nortestosterone dodecylcarbonate (11β-MNTDC).

This single dose, dose-ranging study of 4 escalating doses will be conducted in two centers.

Initially, 12 men will be enrolled in total, 6 men at each center, with a goal of having a minimum of 12 healthy male subjects completing this study (10 active drugs and 2 placebos) both in the fed and fasting states at each dose.

Each of the 4 doses of 11β-MNTDC will be administered first fasting and then fed. Each of the doses of 11β-MNTDC will be administered about 28 days apart +/- 14 days with the time interval between the fasting and fed dosing will be approximately 7 days (-2/+9 days) and a 7 to 14 day washout will occur before dose escalation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 11βmethyl nortestosterone dodecylcarbonate in people with Healthy Men and Male Contraception, run by Premier Research at 2 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 10 inclusion and 21 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 31 Oct 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Safety and tolerability of single dose oral administration of up to 4 escalating doses of 11-β methyl nortestosterone dodecylcarbonate (11β-MNTDC) as measured by adverse events (time frame: 12-20 weeks). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02754687, which also lists 36 linked publications.

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 31 Oct 2025.
