The treatment of 5 girls, aged 14 months to 4.5 year, with precocious puberty in the McCune-Albright syndrome with oral testolactone tablets, ... was reported. Testolactone decreased the levels of circulating estradiol and the ovarian volume, and there was a return to pretreatment levels after testolactone was stopped. During treatment, the peak responses of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone to stimulation by LHRH rose above suppressed pretreatment levels (significantly above pretreatment levels for follicle-stimulating hormone) and then returned to pretreatment levels after testolactone was discontinued. Growth rates fell in 3 patients during treatment but could not be assessed in the other 2 because of bone deformities. The mean rate of bone maturation decreased and menses stopped in 3 of the 4 girls who were menstruating regularly. It was concluded that testolactone is an effective treatment of precocious puberty in the McCune-Albright syndrome.

Maculopapular erythema and an increase in blood pressure have been reported rarely during testolactone therapy. Paresthesia, aches and edema of the extremities, glossitis, anorexia, hot flushes, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea have occurred in patients receiving testolactone, but these adverse effects have not been definitely attributed to the drug. Alopecia alone or with associated nail growth disturbance has been reported rarely during testolactone therapy; however, these adverse effects subsided with continued therapy. Elevation of urinary 17-ketosteroids and creatine has occurred in patients receiving oral dosages of 150 mg of testolactone daily. Increased erythropoiesis has been reported in a patient with myeloid metaplasia receiving testolactone.

Although hypercalcemia has not been reported in patients receiving testolactone to date, plasma calcium concentrations should be routinely monitored in patients receiving the drug, particularly during periods of active remission of bony metastases. If hypercalcemia occurs, appropriate therapy, including high fluid intake, should be instituted.

For palliative treatment of advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
FDA Label
Testolactone is a synthetic anti-neoplastic agent that is structurally distinct from the androgen steroid nucleus in possessing a six-membered lactone ring in place of the usual five-membered carbocyclic D-ring. Despite some similarity to testosterone, testolactone has no in vivo androgenic effect. No other hormonal effects have been reported in clinical studies in patients receiving testolactone.
Antineoplastic Agents, Hormonal
Antineoplastic agents that are used to treat hormone-sensitive tumors. Hormone-sensitive tumors may be hormone-dependent, hormone-responsive, or both. A hormone-dependent tumor regresses on removal of the hormonal stimulus, by surgery or pharmacological block. Hormone-responsive tumors may regress when pharmacologic amounts of hormones are administered regardless of whether previous signs of hormone sensitivity were observed. The major hormone-responsive cancers include carcinomas of the breast, prostate, and endometrium; lymphomas; and certain leukemias. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual 1994, p2079) (See all compounds classified as Antineoplastic Agents, Hormonal.)
Absorption
Testolactone is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Route of Elimination
No clinical effects in humans of testolactone on adrenal function have been reported; however, one study noted an increase in urinary excretion of 17-ketosteroids in most of the patients treated with 150 mg/day orally. It is metabolized to several derivatives in the liver, all of which preserve the lactone D-ring. These metabolites, as well as some unmetabolized drug, are excreted in the urine.
Elimination: Renal.

Although the precise mechanism by which testolactone produces its clinical antineoplastic effects has not been established, its principal action is reported to be inhibition of steroid aromatase activity and consequent reduction in estrone synthesis from adrenal androstenedione, the major source of estrogen in postmenopausal women. Based on in vitro studies, the aromatase inhibition may be noncompetitive and irreversible. This phenomenon may account for the persistence of testolactone's effect on estrogen synthesis after drug withdrawal.
The exact mechanism of the antineoplastic action of testolactone has not been determined; however, it has been suggested that the drug may reduce estrone synthesis from adrenal androstenedione via noncompetitive, irreversible inhibition of A-ring reductase (aromatase). Because estrogen acts as a growth factor for hormone-dependent breast cancer cells, reduction of serum and tumor concentrations of estrogen inhibits tumor growth and delays disease progression. In postmenopausal women, ovarian secretion of estrogen declines and conversion of adrenal androgens (mainly androstenedione and testosterone) to estrone and estradiol in peripheral tissues (adipose, muscle, and liver), catalyzed by the aromatase enzyme, is the principal source of estrogens. Inhibition of the aromatase enzyme by testolactone results in suppression of estrogen biosynthesis in all tissues, reducing serum concentrations of circulating estrogens, including estrone, estradiol, and estrone sulfate.

Aminoglutethimide and testolactone may be considered the first generation aromatase inhibitors for the endocrine treatment of breast carcinoma. Initially, both of these agents were designed and used clinically based on different concepts of their mechanisms of action. Only later were they both demonstrated to inhibit aromatase. Curiously, testololactone was earlier and more widely used than aminoglutethimide in treating advanced breast carcinoma. The discovery of the peripheral aromatase inhibition as the proper mechanism of action was delayed for both the agents but was relatively more timely for aminoglutethimide. Paradoxically, the clinical use of testololactone has become already obsolete since its true mechanism of action was discovered.
