Addition of testosterone to endocrine care for transgender women: a dose-finding and feasibility trial. (English)

Transgender women who underwent gonadectomy have lower serum testosterone concentrations than cisgender women. (English)

There is uncertainty regarding the dosing and side effects of supplementation of testosterone in transgender women. (English)
1 reference
This study aimed to assess the feasibility of dosing testosterone to the cisgender female physiological range in transgender women. (English)
1 reference
In addition, we explored changes in cardiovascular parameters, virilizing side effects, and clinical symptoms. (English)
1 reference
This is an open-label, single-arm feasibility study. (English)
1 reference
Participants initially went through a dose-titration phase with 2-week intervals of 0.07-0.09-0.13 mL (277-318-403 μg bioavailable testosterone) testosterone 2% gel to establish a dose leading to serum testosterone concentrations between 1.5 and 2.5 nmol/L. (English)
1 reference
This dose was then continued for 8 weeks. (English)
1 reference
Participants applied daily transdermal testosterone 2% gel (Tostran®) at the prescribed dosage. (English)
1 reference
Testosterone was measured every 2-4 weeks. (English)
1 reference
Laboratory analyses, side effects, and clinical symptoms were evaluated. (English)
1 reference
In total, 12 participants were included. (English)
1 reference
Most participants required a dose of 0.07 mL (277 μg bioavailable testosterone) or 0.09 mL (318 μg bioavailable testosterone) to reach serum testosterone concentrations of 1.5-2.5 nmol/L. (English)
1 reference
Continuing this dose, testosterone concentrations remained stable throughout the study. (English)
1 reference
Changes in clinical outcomes were in the desired direction, and side effects were mild. (English)
1 reference
The use of testosterone supplementation in transgender women seems feasible and safe in the short term. (English)
1 reference
Although dosing requires personalized titration, stable testosterone levels can be established. (English)
1 reference
A blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial is needed to study the clinical benefit. (English)
