Summary
Brief summary
The first aim of CAPTIVE is to determine in a randomised double-blind, placebo-controlled trial whether two years treatment with intramuscular testosterone undecanoate is non-inferior to placebo in its effect on non-calcified coronary plaque burden. The second aim is to determine whether testosterone treatment is superior to placebo in slowing progression of coronary atherosclerosis. This study will be conducted in 558 men aged 50-74 years with central adiposity (waist 95 cm or more) and low-normal baseline testosterone (14 nmol/L or less). The primary outcome will be normalised non-calcified coronary plaque volume as measured on computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) at baseline and 2 years, with secondary outcomes of high risk plaque characteristics and pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation.
