Sponsor's own description

A 38-year old women with a 46,XY disorder of sex development (DSD) based on a 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 deficiency (17β-HSD3) was seen at the department of Internal Medicine-Endocrinology at the Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The patient presented with fatigue, concentration problems and feelings of restlessness. In the past, the patient had undergone a gonadectomy at 9 months of age. In a follow-up visit at the outpatient clinic, the patient mentioned that friends with DSD had successfully been treated with testosterone and the patient requested testosterone treatment for her complaints. In the literature, nothing is known about the usefulness of testosterone treatment for women with 17β-HSD3. For other forms of 46,XY DSD like complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), limited data are available about testosterone treatment. Two studies have compared the effects of estrogen and testosterone replacement therapy on psychological wellbeing, quality of life (QoL) and sexual function in women with CAIS. The results were not conclusive, as one of them found a positive effect of testosterone replacement therapy on sexual function compared to estrogen, whereas the other study found no differences. In order to evaluate the effect of testosterone treatment independent of a possible placebo effect, the usefulness of testosterone treatment in this individual patient with 17β-HSD3 will be investigated in an N-of-1 trial in order to improve the clinical care for this patient. The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of testosterone treatment for fatigue on an individual level in a patient with 17β-HSD3 as assessed with the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS-20).
