Clarus Therapeutics has announced positive top-line results from a Phase III study of CLR-610, an oral testosterone (T) replacement drug.
The study met its primary efficacy endpoint with 87% of the 141 men treated with CLR-610 achieving average serum T levels (C-avg) in the normal range (between 300 – 1,000ng/dL), within the 90-day treatment phase.

Clarus chief medical officer Dr Bela Denes said a significant number of men receiving CLR-610 achieved normal T levels in the study.
"Market research shows that men currently being treated for low T with transdermal or injectable products would overwhelmingly prefer an oral option. Thus, we believe CLR-610 will have strong appeal," Denes said.
A C-avg of 624ng/dL was observed in men treated with CLR-610, while a C-avg of 480ng/dL was observed in the T-gel comparison arm.

"The convenience of an oral T replacement option is one that I believe patients and their healthcare providers will embrace," Swerdloff said.
