Phase II Study of Leuprolide and Testosterone for Men With Kennedy's Disease or Other Motor Neuron Disease
 

OBJECTIVES:

I. Evaluate the effects of androgen suppression with leuprolide and androgen replacement with testosterone enanthate on muscle strength in men with Kennedy's disease or other motor neuron disease.

PROTOCOL OUTLINE:

All patients receive androgen suppression with leuprolide acetate injections every 4 weeks for 6 months, plus hormone replacement therapy with testosterone enanthate injections every week for 24 weeks.
