Repros Therapeutics Inc.(R) (Nasdaq:RPRX) provided top line results for the end of dosing analysis on its Phase 2 clinical study of Androxal(R) in hypogonadal men with type 2 diabetes. Many men with secondary hypogonadism also have type 2 diabetes. A total of 108 men completed the three month dosing period and were the basis for this analysis. The study was conducted at 19 clinical sites in the US. A total of 119 men were enrolled in the study and satisfied the requirement of one visit in which efficacy measures could be assessed and are included in the intent to treat population. Outcomes for the “completer” and intent to treat populations were similar.
At baseline, mean morning testosterone levels for the three groups were; placebo (238 ng/dl), 12.5 mg Androxal (244 ng/dl) and 25 mg Androxal (246 ng/dl). There was no statistical difference between the groups in testosterone at baseline. At the end of the 3 month dosing period mean morning testosterone levels were placebo (231 ng/dl), 12.5 mg Androxal (445 ng/dl) and 25 mg Androxal (455 ng/dl). A comparison of either the 12.5 mg or 25 mg dose of Androxal to placebo showed them to be highly statistically different (p< 0.0001). There was no statistical difference between the two active arms. In previous Repros studies in men with low testosterone due to a variety of reasons, there was a dose dependent increase in testosterone levels.
Including all men that completed the 3 month dosing, there was a trend towards improved glycemic control in the men on the 25 mg dose. Men on the 25 mg dose saw a reduction of HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) of 0.159% and a reduction of HOMA-IR (a measure of insulin resistance calculated by measuring fasting plasma glucose and insulin) of 2.89 units. Additionally, the change in HOMA-IR approached statistical significance (p=0.09) for men on the 25 mg dose. In the Intent-to-Treat population of men receiving 25 mg Androxal and who were younger than 65 years of age, the mean change in HbA1c was -0.385% which when compared to placebo men of the same age group (+0.145%) yielded a near statistically significant outcome, p=0.058.
To date, studies of testosterone replacement therapy in diabetic men conducted by others have shown no statistical difference comparing testosterone treatment to placebo when assessing impact on HbA1c levels after treatment. Trials completed by Repros have shown that unlike testosterone replacement therapy, Androxal stimulates normal production of the male hormone by the testes.
The drug was generally well tolerated at both doses compared to placebo. There were no drug related serious adverse events that led to discontinuation. The Company plans to hold a joint meeting with the Endocrine and Urologic Divisions of the FDA to discuss these and other findings.
Repros Therapeutics focuses on the development of oral small molecule drugs for major unmet medical needs that treat male and female reproductive disorders.

Global Hunter Corp. (GBLHF)
Copper is an excellent electrical conductor. Most of its uses are based on this property or the fact that it is also a good thermal conductor. However, many of its applications also rely on one or more of its other properties. For example, it wouldn’t make very good water and gas pipes if it were highly reactive.
Global Hunter Corp. (GBLHF.PK) is pleased to announce initial assay results from its previously announced surface sampling program. The results are encouraging with new gold showings as well as very positive copper oxide assays over wide-spread areas.
Highlights of the entire program
9 mineralized shear and/or alteration zones sampled total of 13.5 kilometers of strike length along know copper bearing shear and alteration zones tested with 205 rock chip samples
Good grades of soluble copper (oxide) over a significantly large area have been identified, however they represent only about 50% of the total copper grade indicating a mixed oxide-sulphide zone. Numerous iron oxide structures have also been mapped but no iron assays have been received to date.
The Company is planning to re-assay samples for iron to determine if iron is present in significant quantities to represent another target.
Global Hunter’s focus is on strategic and base metals, with an advanced stage copper oxide project in Chile and a highly prospective molybdenum property in British Columbia, Canada. GBLHF exploration and development teams are on the ground rapidly advancing the La Corona de Cobre property near La Serena, Chile and the Rabbit South property in British Columbia, Canada. Either one of these projects could carry the company forward on a stand-alone basis, but together they bring the company additional stability, strength and value.
