A Phase 1 interventional study of Placebo and 11βmethyl nortestosterone dodecylcarbonate in Healthy Men and Male Contraception, sponsored by Premier Research. Completed at 2 sites in United States. Open to male participants aged 18 Years to 50 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-10-31.

The long term objective is to develop a new male hormone 11-β Methyl Nortestosterone Dodecylcarbonate (11β-MNTDC) as a male hormonal contraceptive.
This is a Phase I multicenter, double-blind, single dose, dose-ranging study, in healthy men followed on an inpatient basis to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of 11β-methyl nortestosterone dodecylcarbonate (11β-MNTDC).
This single dose, dose-ranging study of 4 escalating doses will be conducted in two centers.
Initially, 12 men will be enrolled in total, 6 men at each center, with a goal of having a minimum of 12 healthy male subjects completing this study (10 active drugs and 2 placebos) both in the fed and fasting states at each dose.
Each of the 4 doses of 11β-MNTDC will be administered first fasting and then fed. Each of the doses of 11β-MNTDC will be administered about 28 days apart +/- 14 days with the time interval between the fasting and fed dosing will be approximately 7 days (-2/+9 days) and a 7 to 14 day washout will occur before dose escalation.
Premier Research is the lead sponsor of 9 studies on the registry; 1 is open to participants now.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of orally administered 11β-MNTDC using Average Concentration (Cavg)
Comparison of pharmacokinetic measures among the single dose periods and comparison of PK parameters in the fed and fasting states will be performed with mixed model repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). Evidence of lack of food effect will be concluded if ANOVA-estimated PK parameters (Cavg) after food are within 80 to 125% of those obtained at the fasting state.
