Clomid in Men With Low Testosterone With and Without Prior Treatment

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Hypogonadism, Male

In brief

This study aims to explore whether men with low testosterone levels, due to altered brain regulation of male hormone function, who have been previously treated with testosterone, respond as well as men who have not been so treated to clomiphene citrate, an agent commonly used for female infertility that has been shown to improve male hormone secretion in some cases.
