View clinical trials related to Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism.
Filter by:Testosterone is the principal androgen produced by the male testes. Hypogonadism is the result of inadequate production of testosterone by the Leydig cells of the testes and is reflected by total serum concentrations of testosterone of < 300 nanograms (ng)/deciliters (dL), with discernible diurnal pattern. The etiology of hypogonadism may be primary or secondary. The treatment of males with primary, and in some cases, secondary hypogonadism includes administration of testosterone. Testim® and Fortesta® are topical gels that when applied daily help to increase the total testosterone levels in the blood through skin absorption. Aveed® is an injectable form of testosterone treatment and participants randomized to this treatment arm will receive 3 injections over the course of 16 weeks. This study is designed to evaluate the effect on blood pressure of approved testosterone products (Testim®, Fortesta®, and Aveed®) after 16 weeks of therapy using 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure to reveal shifts in blood pressure levels.
Transition from paediatric to adult endocrinology is a challenge for adolescents, families and doctors. Up to 25% of young adults with chronic endocrine disorders are lost to follow-up ('drop-out') once the young adult moves out of paediatric care. Non-attendance and sub-optimal medical self-management can lead to serious and expensive medical complications. In a pilot study, adolescents suggested the use of e-technology to become more involved in the transition process. The investigators have designed and developed the YESS! game, a tool to help improve medical self-management in adolescents with chronic endocrine disorders. The hypothesis is that adolescents playing the YESS! game will show a larger increase in self-management score during the first year of transition and will have a lower drop-out rate at the adult endocrine outpatient clinic (OPC), compared to adolescents who do not play the game.
The investigators are doing this research study to look at the relationship between testosterone (the main sex hormone in men) and insulin (the hormone that controls blood sugar levels) in men with Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (IHH). The investigators hypothesize that normalizing testosterone levels in men with IHH enhances insulin sensitivity, reduces visceral fat, increases lean body mass, and improves the lipid profile.
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether corifollitropin alfa (MK-8962), administered alone for 12 weeks and then in combination with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) for 52 weeks, increases the testicular volume in adolescent males aged 14 to <18. In addition, the study will evaluate participants for safety, tolerability and for the development of corifollitropin alfa antibodies. No formal hypothesis will be tested for this estimation study
Phase IIb, multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled parallel-group 36-week study evaluating safety and efficacy of BGS649 in male obese subjects with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH)
Observe the therapeutic efficacy of human menopausal gonadotropin combining with human chorionic gonadotropin in adolescent boys with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BGS649 in male obese subjects with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. All subjects will be treated for a maximum of 24 weeks. Some subjects who complete 24 weeks of treatment will be invited to participate in a 6-month blinded safety extension study (Protocol MBGS206). The study is planned to enroll 268 subjects.
To investigate the hormone response of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad axis and spermatogenesis in male pituitary stalk interruption syndrome patients by pulsatile GnRH therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects on serum testosterone after 4 weeks of subcutaneous dose administration, with different doses and dosing frequencies of TAK-448 to overweight/obese males with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH).
Over the last few years, studies have shown that men with type 2 diabetes sometimes develop a condition called hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (HH). People with this condition produce little or no sex hormones. Obesity and metabolic syndrome are also associated with HH. Research suggests that insulin in the brain may benefit the glands that release these hormones. During this study, subjects will spray a small amount of insulin into their nose.This will increase insulin concentrations in the brain. The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of one dose of intranasal insulin on release of LH (a sex hormone) in obese diabetic men with HH.
