Cardiovascular Health and TRT6
[vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”” font_weight=”400″ el_class=”primary-dark body-md”]Study Participants- Patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease: 2,847
- Patients with at elevated cardiovascular risk: 2,357
- Baseline median serum testosterone level: 227 ng per deciliter; interquartile range, 188 to 258
- At 12 months, the median increase from baseline in serum testosterone levels was 148 ng per deciliter; interquartile range, 34 to 312 (compared with a median increase of 14 ng per deciliter; interquartile range, −21 to 56 in the placebo group).
- TRT did not increase the risk of major heart problems compared to the placebo group.
- There were no clinically meaningful differences in the incidence of secondary cardiovascular end-point events.
Prostate Health and TRT7
[vc_column_text css_animation=”none” css=”” font_weight=”400″ el_class=”primary-dark body-md”]Study Participants- Men at greater risk of prostate cancer (having prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentrations greater than 3.0 ng/mL and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) greater than 19) were excluded, leaving a total of 5,204 participants.
- There were no significant differences between testosterone-treated and placebo groups.
- Incidences of high-grade or any prostate cancer were low.
- Incidences of acute urinary retention, invasive surgical procedures, or prostate biopsy between testosterone-treated and placebo groups did not differ significantly.
- Testosterone treatment was associated with a greater increase in PSA levels than placebo at 12 months, but there was no significant between-group difference in PSA levels after month 12.
