Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness and safety of recombinant human FSH (r-hFSH) and hCG treatments for male hypogonadotropic hypogonadism across various populations.
- A combined analysis of four Phase III clinical trials was conducted involving 100 men with complete HH, who underwent hCG pretreatment followed by r-hFSH therapy.
- Results showed that a significant percentage of men achieved normal sperm concentrations, with factors like larger testicular volume and lower body mass index indicating better treatment responses; overall, r-hFSH combined with hCG was effective for restoring fertility in most participants.
