Description
BACKGROUND

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a widely used treatment for men with low testosterone levels and symptomatic hypogonadism. But despite its promise as a frontline therapy, TRT affects endogenous hormone production by the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, and gonads, including, but not limited to affecting the production of gonadotropins (e.g., luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)), neurosteroids (e.g., pregnenolone, allopregnanolone, progesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone), and endogenous testosterone. For example, during TRT, endogenous testosterone release can be inhibited through feedback inhibition of pituitary LH. Likewise, spermatogenesis can be suppressed through feedback inhibition of pituitary FSH, thereby impairing sperm production and fertility.


Therefore, there is a need for TRTs that increase the levels of testosterone without altering endogenous hormone production by the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, and gonads.

In some aspects, the testosterone can be natural or native testosterone (also known as testosterone base) or an isomer or derivative thereof. In some aspects, the testosterone can be native testosterone. In some aspects, the testosterone is not a testosterone ester.


Without wishing to be bound to any particular theory, it is believed that native testosterone is preferable to a testosterone derivative, such as a testosterone ester, in a combination therapy with a SERM, e.g., enclomiphene or an equivalent amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, because testosterone esters create artificially sustained levels of free testosterone resulting in reduced LH and FSH secretion that the estrogen receptor antagonist activity by a SERM cannot overcome. For example, testosterone enanthate or cypionate combined with enclomiphene would not increase LH or FSH levels. In contrast, native testosterone has a shorter half-life and thus the estrogen receptor antagonist activity by a SERM can stimulate LH and FSH secretion despite the use of exogenous testosterone.

Example 2: Pre-TRT with 6.25 mg of Enclomiphene and 5 mg of LGD-4033

This example investigated the effects of co-administration of a SERM (enclomiphene) and a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) (LGD-4033) on endogenous testosterone, LH, and FSH production. LGD-4033 acted as an anabolic-androgenic steroid and suppressed the production of LH/FSH/testosterone.


Hormone levels were measured after co-administration of 6.25 mg of enclomiphene and 5 mg of LGD-4033. Total testosterone and LH levels remained at or above baseline levels while free testosterone and FSH levels remained elevated over the course of three subsequent tests (see Table 2, n=1).

Example 4: TRT with 200 mg of Testosterone and 6.25 mg of Enclomiphene after 30 Days (+4 and +12 Hours)

This example investigated the anti-suppressive properties of a SERM (enclomiphene) after administration of testosterone and enclomiphene.


Hormone levels were measured after co-administration of 200 mg of testosterone and 6.25 mg of enclomiphene for 30 days. Testosterone concentration was measured at +4 hours and +12 hours after administration. Testosterone peaks between 3-5 hours and is generally out of the system within 12 hours (with acute suppression from baseline), as seen in FIG. 1. Testosterone concentration was measured at +4 hours after administration to capture the peak testosterone concentration (cMax) and +12 hours after administration to capture the trough testosterone concentration (cMin) to determine if endogenous testosterone suppression is prevented with the enclomiphene. Results (see Tables 4 and 5, n=1) showed a strong elevation in testosterone concentration at cMax (total testosterone: 1500+, free testosterone: 505+), while LH and FSH were elevated above baseline (11 and 9.8). Even after the exogenous testosterone was out of the system (cMin), total testosterone (565) and free testosterone (164) remained elevated. Even after the exogenous testosterone was out of the system (cMin), exogenous testosterone was not suppressed as testosterone data alone predicted.

Example 5: TRT with 200 mg of Testosterone BID+6.25 mg of Enclomiphene (+7.5 and +16 Hours)

This example investigated the anti-suppressive properties of a SERM (enclomiphene) after administration of testosterone and enclomiphene. This example also investigated whether a higher dosage of testosterone affected the anti-suppressive properties of enclomiphene.


Hormone levels were measured after co-administration of 200 mg of testosterone twice a day (BID) (200 mg at 8 AM and 200 mg at 4 PM) and 6.25 mg of enclomiphene. Testosterone concentration was measured at +7.5 hours, outside of the 3-5 hour peak window for testosterone, which resulted in lower testosterone levels than those seen in Example 4, despite the higher dosage (see Table 6, n=1). Testosterone concentration was also measured at +16 hours to see longer-term effects. Testosterone, LH, and FSH levels remained elevated above baseline, despite doubling the testosterone dosage, showing continued success at preventing suppression (see Table 7, n=1).

Example 6: TRT with 200 mg of Testosterone BID+3.125 mg of Enclomiphene (+4 and +20 Hours)

This example investigated the anti-suppressive properties of a SERM (enclomiphene) after administration of testosterone and enclomiphene. This example also investigated whether a lower dosage of enclomiphene affected its anti-suppressive properties.


Hormone levels were measured after co-administration of 200 mg of testosterone (BID) and 3.125 mg of enclomiphene. Testosterone concentration was measured at +4 and +20 hours. Testosterone, LH, and FSH levels remained slightly above baseline, but not as high as on the 6.25 mg dosage (see Tables 8 and 9, n=1).

Example 7: TRT with 200 mg of Testosterone BID+10 mg of Toremifene (+4 and +20 Hours)

This example investigated the anti-suppressive properties of a SERM (toremifene) after administration of testosterone and toremifene.


Enclomiphene was replaced by toremifene to determine whether SERMs can prevent TRT-related suppression. Toremifene is less potent mg per mg, so triple the dosage was used. Hormone levels were measured after co-administration of 200 mg of testosterone (BID) and 10 mg of toremifene. Testosterone concentration was measured at +4 and +20 hours. The +4 hour test had an insufficient quantity of blood, so only testosterone was tested. The +20 hour test showed that testosterone, LH, and FSH was still maintained above baseline (see Tables 10 and 11, n=1).

Example 8: TRT with 400 mg of Testosterone BID+10 mg of Toremifene (+4 and +18 Hours)

This example investigated the anti-suppressive properties of a SERM (toremifene) after administration of testosterone and toremifene. This example also investigated whether a higher dosage of testosterone affected the anti-suppressive properties of toremifene.


Hormone levels were measured after co-administration of 400 mg of testosterone (BID) (400 mg at 8 AM and 400 mg at 4 PM) and 10 mg of toremifene. Testosterone concentration was measured at +4 and +18 hours. Testosterone, LH, and FSH levels remained stable although the +18 hour levels were slightly suppressed due to sleep deprivation (4 hours of sleep prior to the test) and not pharmacology (see Tables 12 and 13, n=1). No endogenous testosterone suppression occurred after 3 months of consecutive TRT administration, suggesting an effective long-term treatment.

Example 9: Hormone Levels Once TRT with 200 mg of Testosterone BID+10 mg of Toremifene Cycle Concluded

This example investigated whether endogenous hormone levels would return to baseline levels upon conclusion of a 2 month cycle.


Hormone levels were measured after the 2 month cycle of testosterone (BID) and 10 mg of toremifene concluded. No testosterone suppression occurred after cycle conclusion of testosterone and toremifene. Total and free testosterone levels were normal/slightly above baseline since toremifene has a longer half-life, so it was not completely out of the system (see Table 14, n=1).

Example 10: TRT with 200-600 mg Testosterone+30 g Fat+3.125 mg, 6.25 mg, or 12.5 mg Enclomiphene (+4 Hours)

This example investigated the anti-suppressive properties of a SERM (enclomiphene) after administration of oral testosterone, fat, and enclomiphene.


Hormone levels were measured before and after co-administration of 200-600 mg of testosterone, 30 g of fat (included for optimal lymphatic absorption), and 3.125 mg, 6.25 mg, or 12.5 mg of enclomiphene. See FIGS. 4 to 9 for baseline hormone levels. Testosterone concentration was measured at +4 hours. Testosterone, LH, and FSH levels showed that the 200-600 mg doses of testosterone were less effective at consistently elevating testosterone levels compared to the standardized 800 mg dose of testosterone (see Table 15, n=24). See FIGS. 2 and 3 for compiled post treatment hormone levels for examples 10 to 13.

Example 11: TRT with 800 mg Testosterone+3.125 mg, 6.25 mg, or 12.5 mg Enclomiphene (+4 Hours, Fasting)

This example investigated the anti-suppressive properties of a SERM (enclomiphene) after administration of oral testosterone and enclomiphene under fasted conditions.


Hormone levels were measured before and after co-administration of 800 mg of testosterone and 3.125 mg, 6.25 mg, or 12.5 mg of enclomiphene. See FIGS. 10 to 15 for baseline hormone levels. Testosterone concentration was measured at +4 hours. Testosterone, LH, and FSH levels showed that testosterone levels might have been artificially elevated due to the protocol instructing participants to eat only 1 hour after dosing. Participants who reported fasting for over 3 hours post-dosing had on average testosterone levels below 600 ng/dL, indicating the substantial impact of fasting and the timing of fat consumption on treatment efficacy (see Table 16, n=19). See FIGS. 2 and 3 for compiled post treatment hormone levels for examples 10 to 13.

Example 13: TRT with 800 mg Testosterone+30 g Fat+3.125 mg, 6.25 mg, or 12.5 mg Enclomiphene (+4 Hours)

This example investigated the anti-suppressive properties of a SERM (enclomiphene) after administration of oral testosterone, fat, and enclomiphene.


Hormone levels were measured before and after co-administration of 800 mg of testosterone, 30 g of fat, and 3.125 mg, 6.25 mg, or 12.5 mg of enclomiphene. See FIGS. 22 to 27 for baseline hormone levels and FIGS. 28 to 33 for post treatment hormone levels. Testosterone concentration was measured at +4 hours. Total testosterone increased by an average of 865.5 ng/dL (307.6% relative change), free testosterone increased by an average of 295 pg/mL (470.1% relative change), and LH and FSH levels remained within clinically normal ranges for all subjects post treatment (clinically normal range for LH is 1.8 IU/L or more and clinically normal range for FSH is 1.5 IU/L or more) (see Table 18, n=18). The maintenance of LH and FSH levels within clinically normal ranges demonstrated the efficacy of enclomiphene in preventing hormonal suppression after the administration of oral testosterone. See FIGS. 2 and 3 for compiled post treatment hormone levels for examples 10 to 13.

Example 14: Left-Tailed Wilcoxon Test for Example 12 and Example 13 Estradiol Measurements

The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess the variability in distribution characteristics across different parameters for examples 12 and 13. The statistical analysis indicated that baseline total testosterone (Total T) and baseline free testosterone (Free T) were normally distributed, while other parameters such as luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2), and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) deviated from a normal distribution.


The Wilcoxon signed-rank test, a non-parametric method for analyzing changes from baseline to post-treatment across all variables, was used. Statistical analysis results showed high p-values, close to 1, in the right-tailed Wilcoxon tests, along with a noticeable decrease in estrogen levels (18.5% estrogen level decrease in example 12 and 7.1% estrogen level decrease in example 13). This prompted a reevaluation of the current estrogen approach.


A left-tailed Wilcoxon test was used to determine if the observed decrease in estrogen levels was statistically significant for results. The left-tailed Wilcoxon test confirmed that the observed decrease in estrogen levels was statistically significant (see Table 19).
