Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Male, age between 40 and 70 years (both inclusive);
- •Good physical and mental health as judged by the Investigator determined by medical history, physical examination (including prostate palpation), clinical laboratory, vital signs and ECG recording;
- •Body mass index between ≥ 18.5 and ≤ 30.0 kg/m2;
- •Normal prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value (\< 3.0 ng/mL);
- •Non-vasectomized men must agree to use a condom with spermicide or abstain from sexual intercourse during the study until 90 days beyond the last dose of study medication. Men who have been vasectomized less than 4 months prior to study start must follow the same restrictions as non-vasectomized men;
- •Men must agree not to donate sperm from the first dose until 90 days after the last dose;
- •Ability to communicate well with the Investigator and to comply with the requirements of the entire study;
- •Willing to give informed consent in writing.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Any clinically significant abnormality following review of medical history, laboratory results, physical examination and ECG at screening as judged by the Investigator;
- •Conditions or disorders that might affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of any of the study drugs;
- •Previous use of steroids within:
- •8 weeks for oral preparations
- •4 weeks for transdermal preparations
- •Any time for injections;
- •Contraindications for steroids or estetrol;
- •Prostate hyperplasia or micturition problems that suggest the presence of prostate hyperplasia;
- •Presence of an active acute or chronic infection, including syphilis, HIV or viral hepatitis B and/or C (or previously treated);
