Clinical Trial Summary

Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is the most common disorders of sex development (DSD).Therapy for IHH includes hormone replacement therapy, gonadotropin therapy and pulsed infusion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH).In the present study, we compared the different efficacy and safety of pulsatile GnRH pump therapy with combination gonadotropin therapy on fertility and sexual development in male patients with IHH.


Clinical Trial Description

Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is the most common disorders of sex development (DSD).Therapy for IHH includes hormone replacement therapy, gonadotropin therapy and pulsed infusion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH).In the present study, we compared the different efficacy and safety of pulsatile GnRH pump therapy with combination gonadotropin therapy on fertility and sexual development in male patients with IHH.

The primary endpoint was the achievement of pregnancy in female partner. Secondary endpoints were time to actual attainment of various sperm thresholds: sperm concentration>0*10^6/ml , >1.0 *10^6/ml and >15 *10^6/ml, respectively.

The clinical and laboratory characteristics including testicular and prostatic volume, Tanner stage for pubic hair and genital, serum hormone levels [especially serum testosterone,luteinizing hormone (LH) , and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) levels], sperm concentration per ejaculate, and adverse events at baseline and at the end of treatment were also evaluated. ;
