NCT ID NCT07460960
First seen Mar 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study looks at whether two common statins (pitavastatin and rosuvastatin) affect male sex hormones and erectile function in men aged 40-65 with high heart risk. Researchers will monitor 150 men for 6 months, checking hormone levels, erectile function, and blood vessel health. The goal is to see if statins are safe for sexual health and might even improve it by helping blood vessels work better.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Pitavastatin and rosuvastatin (statin drugs)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that statins do not harm male hormones or sexual function, and may even improve erectile function by helping blood vessels work better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 150 men, so results may not apply to everyone. Statins can cause muscle pain or other side effects, and the expected benefits are modest.
