Lybridos in Pre-and Postmenopausal Women With Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

United States80 participantsStarted 2013-07

Plain-language summary

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-finding study to investigate the safety and efficacy of Lybridos in the domestic setting in healthy female subjects with hypoactive sexual desire disorder and maladaptive activity of sexual inhibitory mechanisms. This is a 2-arm placebo and Lybridos (0.5 mg testosterone + buspirone 10 mg) extension to study EB90 (Clinical Study Protocol EB90a, version 3.0, 07 June 2013). In the present study, the efficacy of Lybridos will be evaluated in the domestic setting in healthy female subjects with HSDD and maladaptive activity of sexual inhibitory mechanism(s). Sexual satisfaction and other aspects of sexual functioning will be measured within 24 hours after each sexual activity. The following hypotheses will be tested: Lybridos, as compared to placebo, will significantly increase the number of satisfying sexual events. Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of Lybridos as compared to placebo in increasing the number of satisfactory sexual episodes in healthy female subjects with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) and maladaptive activity of sexual inhibitory mechanisms * To identify the optimal dose of Lybridos to take into phase 3 clinical development * To confirm that Lybridos has superior efficacy as compared to testosterone alone and to buspirone alone * To evaluate the effect of Lybridos as measured by scales of sexual satisfaction and/or sexual desire/arousal * To evaluate the safety profile of Lybridos

Exclusion criteria

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

What they're measuring

The primary endpoint is the number of satisfactory sexual episodes, measured using the Sexual Satisfaction of an Event Questionnaire (SSEQ).

Timeframe: 20 weeks
