University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, 600 South 43rd Street, Box 8 Philadelphia, PA 19104-4495, USA.

Published: November 2002

Cellegy is developing a drug delivery system designed to facilitate the transdermal and topical delivery of testosterone for the potential treatment of male hypogonadism (as Tostrex) and decreased sexual energy in post-menopausal women (asTostrelle) [218118], [314726], [351823]. Following phase III dinical trials of Tostrex for male hypogonadism, initiated in March 2000 [361133], an NDA submission for male hypogonadism was filed in June 2002, after a pre-NDA meeting with the FDA late in 2001 [453374]. By March 2002, phase II/III clinical studies in postmenopausal women were underway in the US [444857].

Background: Differential diagnosis of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) and constitutional delay of puberty (CDP) is extremely important since with the latter puberty begins and completes without any medical intervention and in the case of HH puberty does not occur or is incomplete.

While there are several easy-to-use reversible female contraceptives, little is available for men. Introduction of novel, cost-effective male contraceptives could have important downstream global health and economic benefits. Currently, nearly half of all pregnancies globally are unintended, with many resulting in unsafe abortions, a significant burden for women and families in many countries.

Objective: One of the most severe endocrine side effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) is hypophysitis leading to adrenal insufficiency. Recovery is rare, although it has been reported after high-dose glucocorticoid treatment. This is the first randomised study to evaluate whether hormonal recovery differs in patients treated with high-dose glucocorticoids versus glucocorticoid replacement therapy.

We previously reported that mediated the improvement in body composition in testosterone (T)-treated hypogonadal men by shifting adipogenesis to myogenesis. Previous preclinical studies suggest that regulates , an important osteoblastic transcription factor, expression and activity. However, the changes in , and other genes/proteins involved in osteoblastogenesis with T therapy in hypogonadal men are unexplored.
