Purpose:
To evaluate patient satisfaction and symptom control in hypogonadal men transitioning from other testosterone therapies to oral testosterone undecanoate (TU).
Materials and Methods:
In this open-label clinical trial, men aged 18 to 75 years with hypogonadism were switched to oral TU after a sufficient washout of previous testosterone therapies. Treatment satisfaction and symptom control were primarily measured using the 9-item Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) and quantitative androgen deficiency in aging males (qADAM) questionnaires, respectively. Secondary outcomes included changes in serum testosterone (T), estradiol (E2), hematocrit (HCT), and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.
Results:
Forty-one men participated, with significant improvements in all TSQM-9 scores observed over 6 months. Symptom control as measured by qADAM remained consistent. There was a significant increase in serum T and E2 levels, but HCT and PSA levels remained stable.
Conclusions
Switching to oral TU from other testosterone therapies is associated with increased patient satisfaction and stable hypogonadal symptom control.
