Review recent evidence on VTE risk associated with TT 15
16 CONTROVERSY FDA Drug Safety Warnings, Designed to test effects of TT on mobility Stopped early due to significantly increased adverse CV events Not designed or powered to detect CV outcomes 16
17 Sampled men receiving angiography Pre-adjusted risk favoured the treatment group 9% of sample was female Identified treatment group by Rx records No testing of T levels (Vigen et al., 2013) Self-controlled 90 days of follow-up Identified treatment group by Rx records 17
18 OBJECTIVES 1. Review the characteristics of late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) 2. Review recent evidence on the efficacy of TT 3. Discuss the controversies surrounding testosterone therapy (TT) 4. Review recent evidence on cardiovascular risk associated with TT 5. Review recent evidence on VTE risk associated with TT CV RISK Retrospective cohort study n = T < 300 ng/dl OR diagnosis hypogonadism Excluded: testis/prostate Ca, AIS, Klinefelter, pituitary disorder Outcome: MI/revascularization, stroke/tia, unstable angina, sudden cardiac death 18
19 Ever-T group: 8808 with filled T prescription 76% filled >1 Rx Mean duration 925 d Median follow-up 3.2 years untreated, 4.2 years treated Baseline T 212 ng/dl 318 on treatment 10.2% event rate untreated population vs. 8.2% treated population HR 0.67 (95% CI ) TT is protective against CV events 19
20 Matched retrospective cohort, N = years or older Treatment group: men receiving any TT (N = 10, 331) 5.3 (treated) vs. 5.1 (untreated) years follow-up Outcomes: mortality, CV event (MI/CVA/VTE), PCa dx Mortality benefit with treatment (19% vs 21%) HR 0.88 ( ) No difference in CV event rate 20
21 Stratification based on duration of T exposure Lowest tertile (median 2 months) Increased mortality (HR 1.11) Increased CV events (HR 1.26) Middle tertile Decreased mortality (HR 0.9) Highest tertile Decreased mortality (HR 0.67) Decreased CV events (HR 0.84) Retrospective VA cohort (N = ) Men with one low T level (lab dependent) Excluded: prior MI/stroke, subsequent normal T Outcomes: MI, stroke, mortality 21
22 3 analysis groups Untreated (18.5%) Treated, inadequate response (30.1%) Treated, adequate response (51.4%) Median follow-up 4.7 years untreated, 6.2 years treated Responders Mortality vs. untreated: HR
23 Responders MI vs. untreated: HR 0.76 CV events 23
24 SUMMARY- CV RISK According to recent evidence, multiple studies show a mortality benefit to TT At worst, CV event risk is similar; several studies show a protective event of TT OBJECTIVES 1. Review the characteristics of late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) 2. Review recent evidence on the efficacy of TT 3. Discuss the controversies surrounding testosterone therapy (TT) 4. Review recent evidence on cardiovascular risk associated with TT 5. Review recent evidence on VTE risk associated with TT 24
25 Retrospective cohort (N = ) Inclusion: 2 low T levels Excluded: Hx of VTE, warfarin use, cancer, coagulopathy 3 groups: Treated, adequate response (N = ) Mean follow-up 6.1 years Treated, inadequate response (N = ) Mean follow-up 4.5 years Untreated (N = ) Mean follow-up 4.6 years No significant difference in VTE incidence 25
26 Retrospective case control study (n = ) confirmed VTEs (DVT or PE) matched controls Current T use (<6 months vs. > 6 months) Recent within 2 years Not within 2 years RR =1.63 within 6 months of TT initiation 69/ VTEs while on TT (0.36%) 91/2107 TT users (within 2 years) developed PE (4%) RR = 1.00 after 6 months of TT 26
27 Flannigan R, Locke J et al testosterone users 135 PEs No association between TT and PE Regardless of duration of exposure or T level at entry SUMMARY- VTE Conflict in recent literature If TT increases risk of VTE, absolute increases and overall risk likely low 27
28 SUMMARY Mild-modest benefits Possible mortality benefit No increased CV risk Possible increase in VTE, but low overall EAU Guidelines GUIDELINES AUA Guidelines Endocrine Society Guidelines We recommend testosterone therapy for symptomatic men with classical androgen deficiency syndromes aimed at inducing and maintaining secondary sex characteristics and at improving their sexual function, sense of well-being, and bone mineral density.
