oxandrolone and Spinal Cord Injuries

oxandrolone has been researched along with Spinal Cord Injuries in 4 studies

Oxandrolone: A synthetic hormone with anabolic and androgenic properties.

Spinal Cord Injuries: Penetrating and non-penetrating injuries to the spinal cord resulting from traumatic external forces (e.g., WOUNDS, GUNSHOT; WHIPLASH INJURIES; etc.).

CSP #535 - Anabolic Steroid Therapy on Pressure Ulcer Healing in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury[NCT00101361]Phase 3212 participants (Actual)Interventional2005-08-31Terminated (stopped due to futility analysis showed low probability of detecting a significant difference)

Trial Outcomes

A Healed Pressure Ulcer

Patients remained in treatment until full healing of the target pressure ulcer (defined as re-epithelialization to a cicatrix with a dry surface and zero open area for a minimum of 96 hours) or 24 weeks, whichever occured first. (NCT00101361)
Timeframe: healing was measured from randomization to full healing or 24 weeks, whichever occured first.
