  • Male

Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate three doses of the drug leflutrozole on improvement of semen quality in men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, a condition that affects hormone levels and fertility. It will also study the safety of leflutrozole.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does leflutrozole improve semen quality?

  • What medical problems do participants experience when taking leflutrozole?

Researchers will compare leflutrozole to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug).

Participants will:

  • Take leflutrozole or a placebo orally once a week for 16 weeks.

  • Visit the clinic every 4 weeks for checkups and tests.

  • Provide semen samples to measure changes in semen quality.

  • Have their blood tested to measure hormone levels and ensure safety.

  • Be monitored for any side effects.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Signed informed consent form prior to any-related trial activity.

  • Adult men aged 18-49 years (both inclusive).

  • Low serum total testosterone concentration on two occasions.

  • Serum Sex Hormone Binding Globulin within or above normal range at screening.

  • Serum estradiol (E2) level within or above normal range at screening.

  • Serum Luteinizing Hormone level within or below normal range at screening.

  • Low total motile sperm count in two samples.

  • Semen volume ≥1.0 mL in two samples.

  • Ability to understand and comply with the requirements of the protocol.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Anatomical abnormalities of the testes or malignant or benign tumors of the testes.

  • Pituitary or hypothalamic disease.

  • Prostate disease.

  • Treatment with one or more of the following prescription drugs or over-the-countermedications or supplements for 6 months prior to the screening visit:

  1. Compounds with androgenic or estrogenic properties (i.e., agonist orantagonist) or that affect production of sex hormones.

  2. 5-α reductase inhibitors, e.g., finasteride and dutasteride.

  3. Fertility drugs, including clomiphene, FSH, hMG and hCG preparations.

  4. Growth hormone.

  5. Opioid-receptor antagonists, e.g., naloxone and long-acting opioids.

  6. Selective α-adrenergic-receptor antagonists (alpha blockers).

  7. Topical or systemic testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).

  8. Anabolic steroids.

  • Inability to reliably produce the required semen samples for trial assessments dueto significant erectile dysfunction, anorgasmia, or other reasons.

  • Participation in any clinical trial using clinical intervention within 3 monthsbefore the screening visit or 5 half-lives of investigational productadministration, whichever is shorter.

  • Any clinically significant 12-lead ECG abnormalities at screening.

  • Known history of thromboembolic disease.

  • Grade 3 lower extremity edema.

  • Known cardiovascular disease.

  • Known history of osteoporosis or fragility fractures.

  • Known moderate or severe impairment of renal or hepatic function.

  • Untreated diagnosis of sleep apnea.

  • History of cancer within the last 5 years.

  • Known alcohol and/or drug abuse within the last 12 months prior to randomization orevidence of such abuse indicated by the laboratory results during the screeningassessments.

  • Known chronic opioid use and/or misuse within the last 12 months prior torandomization.

  • Any psychiatric or medical disorder or circumstance, which in the investigator'sopinion might jeopardize participant's safety or compliance with the protocol.

  • Hypersensitivity to any active ingredients or excipients in the medicinal productsused in this trial.
