NCT00631696

Brief Summary

This study is being performed as a Phase IV FDA commitment study and is being powered adequately to assess changes in sperm concentration, FSH and testosterone in healthy male subjects treated with pregabalin as compared to placebo, in addition to confirming lack of effects on sperm motility.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants With a 50 Percent (%) or More Reduction in Sperm Concentration From Baseline (Bsl) to End of Study (EOS)

    Baseline is the average of sperm concentrations from semen samples collected on or before Study Day 1. End of study is average of sperm concentrations from semen samples collected at end of washout period (Week 26) following 12 weeks of double-blind treatment. Mean sperm concentration (MSC) of a visit is average of the 2 sperm concentration samples collected at that visit. If sperm concentration was not assessed at Week 26, then the last assessment on or after Week 12 (end of treatment) was used instead. Confidence intervals (CI) based on exact distribution.

    Baseline, End of Study (last observation at Week 26 or last assessment on or after Week 12 if no data at Week 26)

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Change From Baseline in Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) to End of Study (EOS)

    Baseline, End of Study (last observation at Week 26 or last assessment on or after Week 12 if no data at Week 26)

  • Change From Baseline in Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) to Week 26

    Baseline, Week 26 (last observation in the Week 26 window)

  • Change From Baseline in Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) to Week 12

    Baseline, Week 12 (last observation in the Week 12 window)

  • Change From Baseline in Testosterone to End of Study (EOS)

    Baseline, End of Study (last observation at Week 26 or last assessment on or after Week 12 if no data at Week 26)

  • Change From Baseline in Testosterone to Week 26

    Baseline, Week 26 (last observation in the Week 26 window)
