Anastrazole and Clomiphene to Evaluate Hypogonadal Symptoms and Erectile Function (CAP)

Study Description
Brief Summary:
This study evaluates anastrazole and clomiphene in the improvement in hypogonadal symptoms and erectile function. Each subject will receive Anastrazole 1 mg/day, clomiphene 25 mg/day and placebo in randomized schedule of 8 week intervals.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Hypogonadism, Male Drug: Anastrozole 1mg Drug: Clomiphene Citrate 25mg Drug: Placebo - Cap Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Aromatase inhibitors (AI) (Anastrazole) and selective estrogen receptor modifiers (SERMS)(clomiphene) increase testosterone production through stimulation of the hypothalamic pituitary axis. While these drugs both reduce the feedback inhibition of estrogen on the pituitary, SERMs cause an increase in serum estradiol, whereas AIs reduce estradiol levels. Using these medications, we can obtain therapeutic testosterone levels with either an increase or decrease in estradiol levels.
